Big fans of fruit salad with marshmallows, macaroni and mayonnaise? Cuisine wise the Philippines is what happens when all the professional chefs die and their 5 year old kids just step into the role.
fruit salad with marshmallows, macaroni and mayonnaise?
none of these words should be that close together
I have a much more open mind to weird food combos lately. Call it poverty gastronomy, but I've been living mostly on leftovers (not expired food, just food that needs to be used up soon or go to waste) for a while now.
The other day I had leftover brown rice, greek yogurt (the real stuff, not just the sugary junk), and sweet chilli sauce (The sugary junk) for lunch and it was seriously awesome.
That's a nice way of minimizing an entire cuisine and culture based on one or two dishes. Regardless of the fact that the Philippines is made up of thousand of islands, with variations on the same dishes based on local taste and ingredients, or the influence of the many people that we have traded with and/or been invaded by. Oh and how poverty plays a role in how the people try to source their ingredients. But sure, yeah, kids and their cooking or whatever.
I once walked into a Filipino bakery/eatery, just out of curiosity. Not a single thing there looked appetizing, all the pastries looked painted and artificial, it was odd.
Yes.
Food.
That's what is being eaten.

You missed Vietnam
All the best to them. Better than staying at home.
People like cake. And pie.
Tbh, I can't blame them. They are free to do so, it's cheap, the climate is great and something about the cuisine..
As someone who recently started binge watching 90 Day Fiance, this made me laugh
