Good afternoon everyone, I hope that you are having a great weekend. Today, since it is Saturday, We decided to have little boodle fight with my friends. What exactly is Kamayan dining?
The "Boodle Fight," called after the Filipino "army manner" of eating, is another name for kamayan dining. Soldiers would eat off of banana leaves in the native manner after a long day of marching because they couldn't readily bring dishes and utensils with them. The cooks then heaped the rationed rice and pork onto the leaves, and the "battle" began as soldiers rushed to grab and eat as much food as they could before it ran out.
We cooked chicken guisado and some kinilaw. This recipe for Chicken Guisado is heavy in protein, which is essential for body growth, development, and regulation. It also contains niacin, which aids in the maintenance of normal skin structure while Kinilaw has been made by indigenous Filipinos for thousands of years. The list of ingredients is short: a fresh protein, vinegar, and sometimes some aromatics. The version of kinilaw you get depends on where you are, as it does with many Filipino foods. Kinilaw is created with seafood such as fish, shrimp, scallops, clams, sea urchin, sea cucumber, and more in coastal places. It can be made with pork, beef, wild boar, and deer in landlocked areas. In addition, the vinegar used in the meal varies. In this recipe, I used raw coconut vinegar since I believe it would have been more readily available to my forefathers.
That is guys, since we are only few people we were so full and decided to have a little drink.
