Basta ako, I am proud of my Filipino heritage and I don't care whether Philippines is a 3rd world country or some people thinks that some of Filipino foods are considered pet food. :P:star:

Nakakaasar lang kasi kung magbitaw nang salita!akala mo naman tayo lang nagkukulang nang pagkain!! :whistle:

"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

I love fish with head and tail too. He`s always teasing me about it that I should chop and give those parts to cats.

I think I will miss my favorite fish ayungin when I get there in the US. <sighs> I know it is so stinky especially pag-paksiw (fish cooked in vineger and ginger) ang luto...haha!

I guess that`s another thing (paksiw na isda) most of our Kano partners really hate...haha! They prefer fried fish Iam sure... :D

I love fish with head and tail attached too especially if its fresh and if its cooked fried, wow i can eat everything.

Hi all - since this thread seems interesting - to be at least partly in English - here goes! I am married to a Ukrainian, but I did visit the PI when I was a kid. I tried balut, but didn't care for it, so I sympathize with some of you guys. Also, my wife loves fish, especially with head and tail attached - I am more of a filet guy. She says that you can't really tell how fresh a fish is without the head still on it. I guess I never thought about it :lol:

My husband, although of Filipino heritage, does not care for balut. He says he tried it once, when he was a teenager, but he threw up. He does not eat rice for lunch either, a tuna sandwich or a carne asada burrito or a Big Mac meal or a slice of ham and pineapple pizza will suffice. His dinner favorites are kinilaw na tuna, humba, kare-kare, pinapaitan and pinakbet.

Ate Tessa serve your husband a pinakbet,and sinanglaw,kilawen and he will Love you to the max! (Ilocano foods) :star:

I'd love to, but I don't know how to cook pinakbet and sinanglao. Kilawen na tuna, yes, I'm an expert in preparing that. Other things that he hates are bulalo, sisig and tilapia.

Haha! Iam sure that there are more Filipino dishes that you like than those that you really hate...

4. The dish that is basically boiled whole blood. I forgot the name, but i wont even go near the pot; (Dinuguan, from Tagalog word dugo which means blood)

6. That awful smelling pinkish red stuff used as a spice or seasoning made from ground fish and shrimp. (the famous bagoong shrimp paste)

I've been living here with Maria my Fiance for about six months now, while waiting for USCIS approval then NVC and finally the interview. We will go home to FL on June 28, and I will look forward trendously to food I really like. I've managed to get used to some of the dishes, and I even like a few very much, but there are some I just cant stomach:

1. Kari Kari - like your fiance I wanted to vomit;

2. Dangus, Bangus, or whatever its called.;

3. Balot - of course Balot is on an internet list somewhere as the first most horrible dish of all world cuisines;

4. The dish that is basically boiled whole blood. I forgot the name, but i wont even go near the pot;

5. Dillis

6. That awful smelling pinkish red stuff used as a spice or seasoning made from ground fish and shrimp. The day I had it the family was putting it on some sliced fruit from a tree that was hard and round and pear shaped. I think its a Mango, but I thought Mangos were very soft. Anyway that stuff is worse than Balot.

Carl

I want to list here the food that I like but he doesnt want to taste (or taste ever again)...

1. Isaw (chicken intestine ...one street of the popular street food here in the PI)...he tried kikiam and fishball though

2. Dinuguan (or what he called chocolate meat) he tried one sip but he said it tasted like iron

3. Fish belly (the best part of fish...especially for bangus (milkfish))... he just didnt like the soft texture and the black color of it

4. Tuwalya (ox tripe)...in kare-kare he just puked when he tried one bite...didnt the chewy texture

5. Balot...(a fertilized duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell-from wikipedia) ...he tried it the second night he was here...oh and I saw him all green and he was about to puke...

How about your fiance/fiancee?

Other things I noticed... they don`t eat full meals for lunch...and no (heavy) snacks (e.g. spaghetti, pancit, burger, etc) between meals. Hotdog is not a breakfast. No hotdog on spaghetti (but he likes sweet spaghetti, he even tried Jollibee spaghetti). They don`t use spoon to eat rice but they use fork instead.
