/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I'm still not 100% sure what a filipino is

>someone just took whatever was laying around and cook them together.
Congratulations you just described 100% of regional cuisine.

Half Asian, half Hispanic.

It's someone from the Philippines

>>14358194
oh I see

>>14357908
whatever was laying around in a fully stocked kitchen...

>>14357908
Look at their history. Originally native islanders, then you have colonies of South and South East Asians, then you have Arab and Chinese traders, then you have Spanish colonization, and then you have American colonization.

It's no wonder they are eating spaghetti with hot dogs and American cheese like white trash American GIs, egg rolls and stir fry noodles like Chinese, Spanish-style sausage, Indian curry-like stews, etc.

>>14357908
yeah that's kinda how most foods work, do you think Monsanto invented cuisine?

>>14358107
A cockroach

They lived in and still live in pure poverty which is why most of the staples of their cuisine revolve around preserved, cheap, shelf stable foods. Fresh vegetables and herbs were a luxury so you don't see much use of them in most recipes and at most it's dried. Cheap root vegetables like taro and ube, onions, garlic, things that can be stored a long time without refrigeration are the vegetables used if they are used.

El Salvadorian food is worse for that and you have to cook it for a day and a half.

Nah. Tons of fresh fruits and veggies, in addition to the preserved stuff. Most of the herbs they grow locally were brought in from Asia.

I hate central americans but papusas are the crown jewel of Latin American food

>>14359012
Nope. Empanada.

>>14357908
Their culture is a mishmash of whatever colonized them, the country is largely impoverished and the US military passed them down rations like hot dogs and ketchup so they make due.

>>14357908
Sometimes when you smash 2 cultures together you get something amazing, other times, you get something like Flips.

>>14358215
But why didn't this happen to Indo-China?

>entire thread is about Jollebee food
Ya'll haven't experienced the wonder that is a Filipino BBQ.

>>14359079
Vietnam was a functioning nation state fighting off Chinese invaders when the Philippines was a bunch of aboriginal tier tribes

Was this made by that Laughing Sam guy?

Lumpia is pretty based

My wife is half mexican half korean and she /hates/ when people think she's filipino

>>14359965

>>14359965

>>14359926
How is lumpia different from a spring roll

>>14359965

>>14360004
It doesn't roll as smooth so it's a bit lumpia.

>>14360011

>t. flip

>>14359622
Pretty good point.

I have had two Filipino roommates over the course of my life. Go to the parties and/or dinners if you get invited. They have good food, but they also have a running joke of making some random mashup like hotdogs in spaghetti and calling it Filipino food.

>>14360019
Well I hope you fucking drown in it, you little shit.

>>14358107
a literal monkey

>>14358051
The sad part is that this is unironically very close to the truth, and Filipinos and other SEAsians will never learn about the great Indo-Sundan expansion which domesticated dogs and fathered half the males of today (including Europeans, Native Americans, and North Indians)

>>14360005

>>14359965
>half mexican half korean
El atrocidad...

>>14357908
Short answer: no formal dining culture, had too much colonisation to the point it fucked with their palate and cooking (even though they never had one in the first place)

They are saving their hunger for the afterlife eating at the feet of their christcuk god.

There is a very good reason why we all call Flips the "niggers of Asia."

Flips just aren't as smart or productive as Chinese, Japanese, or Koreans.

My coworker makes turons, which are basically these things but filled with bananas instead of meat

Shit's delicious
