Why is their food so awful?

some of it is good, but the same can be said for every culture. pancit and lumpia are pretty good, similar to other SEA foods. hard to fuck up fried noodles with meat, sauce and veggies. hard to fuck up a fried roll with the same stuff

t. grew up in the PNW, had many pinoy friends and ate at their homes all the time

why do you not like adobo?

filipine food is probably like that because they are poor and eat whatever they find, but they have a lot of fruit/veggie diversity

Largely because we never established a cultural identity. We got buttfucked by Spain, China, America, and Japan back in the day, and the succeedin colonial mentality became a matter of re-creating foreign recipes instead of developing our own.

Also, fuck the Japs. They never passed down any cuisine.

>>14261649
Jollibee was amazing back in the day. Sad it turned to shit. (Also, JFC just revealed that bee mascot is a girl all this time)

I've yet to get decent food in any stateside flip restaurant. Homemade flip food can be very good: Various combinations of savory, sour, sweet, bitter, acid, fat. Not for the tastelet though.

[Anonymous No.14261877]

Spanish cuisine with few spanish ingredients, american cuisine with few american ingredients, and wartime shortages only making the whole thing worse. That's a recipe for banana ketchup spaghetti with hot dogs.
Oh, and vinegar. Lots of vinegar. Stuffs been used since precolonial times as a preservative. A lot of awful cuisine can often be explained as "traditionally used to preserve".

They don't exist stateside. There's maybe a handful on the european continent where standards are higher and a decent few nice places in the philippines itself.

One of the few things I love about my country is the cuisine, anons. But at the same time, I weep for the potential we never achieved.

Also, where's based Pagpag Poster?

Some vinegar, but sour/acid/tart also achieved with various citrus fruits and fermented foods.
It's a crossroads country, so there's a lot of outside influences, which they make their own. It's not Spanish, American, or Chinese, despite the dishes' names; it's Filipino.
No? Then European potato, tomato, and spiced dishes suck because because they're based on foods from elsewhere.
>Oh, but we made them our own.
Just like the flips.

>sour/acid/tart also achieved with various citrus fruits
But, and this is important, they don't preserve food as well as vinegar. A paksiw will last quite long even without refrigeration, depending on the meat used. If your family is from the provinces you ought to know that very well, no?
As for "making it their own", as I said: often it was a matter less of simply taste and one of necessity. Filipino spaghetti (or, frankly, most dishes involving tomato sauce in the archipelago) is very emblematic of that dietary dynamic. It's important to note that the philippines is not by any means the only place radically changed by shortages, but western folks are used to those changes, as are filipinos to theirs.

As an aside, how come it never uses spices found in Indonesia despite its proximity to it?

What we call "filipino" cuisine is mostly the cuisine of the folks within the christianised northern and central parts of the archipelago, and their trade largely went north. In the south curry pastes and lemongrass are more prominent than elsewhere in the country, but the stuff is less known.

Don't try to clean it up. Filipino cuisine is diverse, utilizes many flavors other than vinegar, and incorporates numerous foriegn influences. I would argue that it is more varied in flavor and texture than U.S. food. And it's very good.

I'm sure if you're local you enjoy it, but I don't see the appeal of sea-people food or Spanish food, so a combination of the two is even less appealing.

Filipino food is excellent. Just stay away from meme shit like lumpia, adobo, pancit, jollibee, etc. The seafood is especially great, but it is definitely not healthy. High sodium, high fat for sure

that's because they thought you were savages. the old imperial nips didn't mingle a lot with the places they subjugated.

where they settle and do commerce they share more culinary influence.

this. after raping philipines of their mineral wealth and devastating their country sides with war in ww2, the 'reparations' they paid was in the form of canned and pre-packaged food aid which in turn became staple food in the country for many generations. the shit food culture stems from that (despite traditionally strong influence from the chinese and spanish)
