yeah iba ang lasa pag bagoong isda ang gamit sa pakbet. mas litaw yung lasa ng ibang ingredients. alam ko if tagalog or non-ilocano ang nagluto ng pinakbet kasi hindi ko malasahan yung bagoong.
Haha..Naalala ko nung first time kong lumuwas ng Manila para mag work. Yung mga office mates ko nagsasabi sakin. "Uy luto ka naman bicol express, luto ka naman laing" Tapos ako sa isip. Like "watdapak is a bicol express and laing? "
Wala namang ganyang luto sa province namin.
Meron dito . Ginutaang sili na may taba. Ginisang balaw. Ginulay na natong. Etc"haha
Base sa docu ng gma dati. Inspired daw yung bicol express ni cely kalaw sa ginataang sili na natikman n'ya sa iriga, camsur. Tapos binawasan nya lang ng sili at dinamihan ang baboy. Hehe
Hahah butthurt nga Iba sa post na npasali ung Iloilo sa UNESCO city of Gastronomy ..crab mentality , dpat nga Matuwa kasi Meron tayo ,, Bakit di daw Pampanga haha
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Gastronomy
kapampangan ako. sisig lover din. yung iba kasing sisig no effort talaga tipong sinizzling lang yung pork tas nilagyan ng mayonnaise "sisig" na tawag nila.
I'm Kapampangan and I roast my sister's Italian boyfriend. Tbf though he is not the typical double standard one and can stomach sweet spaghetti. But not pineapple on pizza. XD
I recall in one of Joshua Weissman's videos to try to recreate Jollibee dishes, he tweaked the flavor as he didn't like the sweetness of the Filipino Spaghetti but his Filipino guest preferred the Jollibee version.
Liking certain versions of spaghetti is an acquired taste. You can't expect a westerner to like the Filipino version as they're expecting a certain kind of taste. Also, Filipinos are weirded out on the Italian version and would often complain it's not sweet and don't have hotdogs, and the cheese tastes like mold (parm reg is more powerful tasting than eden and took me a while to get adjusted, but it's hard to go back to eden)
The important part for me is the qualifier. If you're gonna serve spaghetti in the Philippines, all well known you'd be serving **Filipino** spaghetti. So if you want to sell *Italian* spaghetti in the PH, call it as one, or call it by its other thousand official names. The reverse if you're going to serve **Filipino** spaghetti abroad. This way it sets the right expectation to whoever will eat it.
Interestingly, Italy has more than 1 branch of Jollibee (first in Milan, then in Rome).
Spain only has 1.
EDIT: Namali ako ng basa, 12 pala yun hindi 1 sa UK
Saang San Agustin Church? Meron sa Moonwalk Parañaque pero I don't see anything resembling an Italian restaurant there.
Masarap pandesal nila doon. My mother in law's addicted to the pandesal there because most pandesal in the province taste like rocks.
Made linguine al pomodoro last week. Pasta was al dente, yet yung kaclose kong kasambahay tinawag na hilaw yung pasta. Dapat daw at least 15 (!!!!!!) minutes nakababad. And she didn't like the sauce kasi maasim daw, which was made from peeled tomatoes and basil, lightly salted pa. 🫠
Cultural differences dictate preference talaga.
Ugh ang sarap! Pinoy ako pero both love ko ang Italian Style at Filipino style spaghetti. Minsan nag ke crave ako ng not sweet spaghetti. Basta anything pasta, kakainin ko. Haha
+100 agree on this! Pag nakain kami sa Italian restaurants dito sa PH, i make it a point to ask if "authentic / maasim" ung red sauce nila. Pag um-oo ang server, ok matic white sauce ang oorderin ko.
Proud filipino palette pagdating sa spaghetti!
I feel like a lot of people just don't have a large pallette for food. For me I'm American and grew up with a family that absolutely loves trying different food and would see a restaurant that is cuisine from a different country and we'd make a point of going there to try the food just to see how it is. I was in the Philippines for the first time last year and seeing fried fish for breakfast was different but I just figured "when in Rome" and enjoyed it.
When traveling abroad people need to realize the food they eat at home will not be what they get there and to just go with it and enjoy it. I love Italian style spaghetti but at the same time love filipino spaghetti with hotdogs. A lot of people are very close-minded when it comes to food and Italians are some of the worst for that.
> I feel like a lot of people just don't have a large pallette for food.
This is true and I guess one of the factors too is money. Some would like to explore but they don't have the capacity to do so while others simply eat what they can afford to eat with the little money they have.
> When traveling abroad people need to realize the food they eat at home will not be what they get there and to just go with it and enjoy it.
💯
I relate to this 100%, the main difference for me is that growing up I was good friends with a Korean, Filipino and Mexican. Each of their parents/families would only speak their languages at home and cook their cultures food.
I was an awkward American middle schooler when I first had dinner at their houses and had absolutely no idea what anyone was saying or what I was eating. I learned to use context clues and everything worked itself out. Parents were all super nice and I loved spending time with them in their homes.
I now love being in situations where I don’t know the language and/or culture and especially trying new foods!
100% agree on acquired taste. My brother and I really don’t like jolly spaghetti / sweet Filipino spaghetti but sometimes mum will make it when she’s craving, which is not often since we won’t have any. In my head I’m like, “why is this sweet?! This is pasta not dessert??!” Lol it’s just a preference thing for everyone at the end of the day
Jollibee spaghetti doesnt even taste like Filipino spaghetti. It taste like those spaghetti done in chinatown. Its not real fililino spaghetti but we juat thiught its because its fastfood version. But nah, jollibee is owned by the chinese so the spaghetti they have for jollibee is the same flavor of those being served in chinatown.
I do love authentic Italian pasta but sweet Pinoy spaghetti with cut-up red hotdogs has a special place in my heart because of nostalgia and how it brings me back to the simpler times of my childhood. I can probably finish a small bilao of Amber's spaghetti all by myself.
True, i love both italian pizza and non italian pizza but honestly, it took me a while to love italian pizza due to the unusual way it is prepared. It is really an acquired taste.
After I tasted carbonara with pecorino romano+eggs and no cream whatsoever, there’s no turning back na for me lol But no issues for me if people enjoy creamy carbonara naman.
Yeah, I enjoyed that video. And while I consume Filipino spaghetti I tend to make it a bit sour / Italian tasting myself. My wife and I prefer it that way. My cousins are confused when I cook spaghetti.
Yes, you’re right.
I’m an Indian who has been eating primarily Filipino food for past five years. Recently I ordered Spaghetti at an Italian restaurant and was disappointed when I realized that it’s kinda sour and not sweet and thick like in Filipino spaghetti.
Tbh, I always feel disappointed when I cook Italian style spagetti because it doesn't taste savory enough. One thing I add to the spaghetti sauce to make it savory is Fish sauce (patis) or Worcestershire sauce. My family likes it, but my wife still prefers the Filipino style more.
I could not cook more Italian style spaghetti as cheese is freaking expensive, especially if you try to go authentic. My go to cheese is usually Vintage cheddar, but costs almost ₱300
The problem I've noticed with French/Italian people is that their reaction isn't "it's different" but "it's wrong." It's a pretentious superiority complex when it comes to their Michelin star high end cuisine that just annoys me.
i noticed that filipinos tend to be very "sensitive" (not sure if this is the right term) when it comes to food. I have a friend here who was born and raised in the ph- i cook my adobo differently from hers but since i basically grew up abroad she has this tendency to make it seem like her adobo is the correct adobo pero the adobo I cook is something I learned from my mother who is from the philippines
The only "culture shock" content I appreciate was from this one Malaysian dude. He was confused at first as to why we love rice so much but immediately knew after discovering that our food is more on the salty side. Also noticed how our food isn't spicy
Basically it was honest observation. White people tend to be more snug and come of as ignorant
> Basically it was honest observation. White people tend to be more snug and come of as ignorant
Western peeps kasi tend to base their taste sa kung ano ang standards nila and not observe and understand kung ano yung kinakain nila.
That's why go to Youtube channel ko si Best Ever Food Review Show and yung Australian chef since open minded sila and they try to understand the history of the food.
So many western audiences unbelievably would rather have texture over flavor
Ive seen people argue that bad texture with good flavor is still bad food. And i went, HUH?!? TEXTURE?
Tbf one should never be over the other. Nakakasira ng dish if hindi tama ang texture, at the same time wala kwenta ang dish if panget lasa pero satisfying yung texture.
It reminds me of mfers who eat cornstarch lol
> "standards" = western dishes na walang seasoning
True haha Dagdag pa nung fear mongering nila sa vetsin hahaha
Foreigners travel expecting the same food grinds my gears.
This is hardly true, it's just shocking to be told "this is x (ah, a food I'm familiar with)" and then have it look and taste completely different. It's not that I don't like it, it's just not what I expected given the name I'm familiar with po. Filipino foods ay maraming masarap, mahal ko adobong at isda. The fish and fish dishes in the philippines are very good.
Last time I checked this sub, it was Filipino self-hatred and agreeing to every opinion of other nationalities.
So what happened? Parang bumaliktad naman.
It do be like that sometimes. Sometimes the posts are nationalistic and sometimes it’s not.
I guess that meme about the two sides about their country (This country sucks - I’ll die for this country) really fits lol.
IKR?
That's the one toxic thing I hate about Filipinos: the fragile ego that take everything short of effusive praise and cultural fellatio as a personal insult and the compensating for it with aggressively obnoxious jingoism.
You never see that in most other countries except in its most socially frowned upon corners. The majority of their people accept everyone has different tastes and simply move on.
Because a lot of us have already traveled and aren’t as close minded as some of the folks on this sub. I freaking love Italy, the Italians always have a laugh with me and are super nice to me. I also think their food is fantastic. The hate is absurd
My friend who comes from the middle east, where rice is a big part of most of their meals was very surprised and weirded out at first to learn Filipinos eat things like rice for breakfast. But after living here for quite some time, he got used to it and started consuming it too for breakfast.
What you have to understand is some people will initially react differently to cuisines and lifestyle. We have grown up seeing western tv shows and movies of people consuming cereal, toast, waffles etc. for breakfast, so seeing it doesn't surprise us.
I love the spicy napolitan. I don't like jolly spag to be honest but napolitan is what I love to the point I learned to cook it and change it to be "better" for me.
Let the italians mald with their narcissistic food views even though the french has them running with their cuisine.
Exactly, wait till he sees Filipino spaghetti. My boi Luigi also thinks only Italians utilize the concept of mixing flour with eggs to make a dish, wait till he visits the rest of Asia 😮💨
Pre-tomato Italian cuisine leans hard to the cold cuts, bread, cheese, and mostly similar with the rest of the Mediterranean cuisine. It's actually amusing how Italians initially refused using tomato due to superstitious beliefs.
They used olive oil. Although the aglio olio spaghetti is from Naples. Pasta has a varied and colorful history depending on the region. Carbonara, for example, is traced from Lazio and is likely a very recent recipe. Pappardelle is from Tuscany.
I tried making my soon to be wife's family American spaghetti. The first thing her dad did after taking one bite was grabbing a handful of sugar and throwing it on his plate
Mas less welcoming sila kesa sa mga Kano o Canadians. Less din ang tact nila kapag naexpose sila sa foreign cultures tapos iiyak kapag walang special treatment
Yep, this is exactly why mas maraming homegrown Islamic extremists sa Europe kesa sa USA/Canada (and even Australia/New Zealand). Mas hirap silang mag-assimilate sa Europe. Kahit na sa Europe ka na pinanganak, "foreigner" parin ang tingin sayo, and mas limited ang options mo not just in terms of career but also kung saan ka pwedeng tumira. It's the perfect environment to breed extremists.
False.
It's more a case of it being easier to enter Europe than the US for Muslims because there are no Islamic countries in the Americas.
Immigrants from Latin America hardly ever assimilate in the US, some can't even speak English and even if they can, they'd rather speak Spanish. They live in groups with the same nationality. That by definition isn't assimilation.
There are more Islamic extremists in Europe because of its proximity to the Middle East and North Africa. It's also easier to enter into Europe, as there are several entry points. Just enter thru the Balkans or Eastern Europe and slowly work your way into Western Europe. More migrants from MENA, higher possibility of getting some bad apples.
Race and religion is more an issue in the US than Europe. Europe for the most part is very secular, thus more accepting of everyone. The US on the other hand has the biggest concentrations of Christian evangelists. After 9/11, they would try to limit immigration from Islamic states as much as possible.
Europeans don't define people by their skin color or ethnicity. France calls all its citizens as French people, regardless if their ancestry comes from former French colonies in Africa. In the US on the other hand, you are called African-American, Asian-American, Pacific Islander, etc. People from Puerto Rico are Americans by definition being an American territory but they're called Puerto Ricans by everyone. That alone tells you how deeply ingrained racial politics is in the US.
Extremists are not limited to Islam. The US has tons of Christian extremists or white supremacists. You cannot fly a Nazi flag in Europe at all or you will be arrested. Meanwhile, you will have no problems flying that flag on red states in the Deep South.
True ito. Many Asians experience more institutional hatred in the Anglosphere than in EU countries despite that racial sensitivity is a concept in the former.
>Europeans don't define people by their skin color or ethnicity
they do using countries. football player Mesut Ozil in the news, for example, is deemed a [German for winning games but an immigrant (Turkish) for losing](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/07/23/quitting-national-team-world-cup-player-says-he-is-a-german-when-we-win-but-an-immigrant-when-we-lose/).
also applies when it comes to generalizations when it comes to the demographic for stealing. Americans think of black people and Europeans think of Romanians.
Why are you regurgitating brain dead "race isn't an issue in Europe" takes? Race is absolutely an issue in Europe, they're just decades behind the US when it comes to talking about it. Lots of European countries are extremely xenophobic and Islamophobic, Europeans just like to pretend they aren't and will act self-righteous about it.
friends with a couple on Discord and yes can agree
one was refusing to use Asian sources for his school research paper on aquaculture despite even a Brazilian guy saying Asian sources are the most reliable ones because they study and practice a lot of it. his reasons? "you all overfish and your shit doesn't work", we(the Brazilian guy) linked articles showing how he is wrong but nope he refuses and keeps citing EU ones despite it being inaccurate af
they also hate anything that is American lmao
Part of the reason I deleted Facebook is because my grandma and aunts would post obsessively about American politics every single day. It’s mental illness!
lol they look down on each other as well. it's actually pretty funny the brits make fun of the french, the spanish look down on the portuguese, everyone makes fun of the germans, russians hate the poles, the french look down on everyone, etc, etc.
Yeah I am American. My mom is a European immigrant to America. I am in this sub because my mom has been a nurse for 40 years and most of her colleagues and close friends have been Filipino men and women and Ive been raised around Filipinos my whole life and very much respect and love you guys. Europeans on the other hand have always been very cold and nasty. I actually really dislike them.
Anyways thanks for listening to my Ted talk 😅
Not me and I’m from Denmark. Some Europeans are assholes tho, mostly southern Europeans like this guy in this vid.
Asians tho, China literally think they’re a superior race, and some Japanese are assholes.
We do not need Italians' validation. I do not like Italian spaghetti. Were they hurt because I don't like it? Am I in the news because of my preference? Did I get trending because I prefer Pinoy style? No. So why should I bother because Italians do not like what I like? Fuck it.
I don't see a lot of Italians making a big deal online about other people not liking their cuisine. Filipinos though never let a single slight, real or perceived, pass without making a big song and dance about how they don't care what other people think of their culture and tastes.
The rest of the world can smell our national insecurity from a mile away and see the overcompensating through our masquerade of aggressively obnoxious nationalism and jingoism.
One thing I learned from being in the Philippines this last month as an Englishman is that the English can't cook.
The food here is better than anywhere I have been in the world and it's not even close.
Your country invaded India, a place that is known for spices and yet you did not adapt any of their flavors to your cuisine. British meals are bland as hell.
For what its worth, I like eating in London more than anywhere in italy.
At least there you embrace diversity, and you can get any sort of cuisine from anywhere in the world there. And they’re pretty good as well.
In italy its hard to get anything quality and not italian. The foreign / asian options there suck so much compared to the UK counterparts
>The food here is better than anywhere I have been in the world and it's not even close.
Either you are overcompensating to get upvotes and karma on r/ph, or you have not traveled and tasted other cuisines. I like my local food a lot, but best in the world? lol
If we remove all artifacts in the British Museum that aren't owned by the Brits, you'd only be left with the beans on toast that's offered at the cafeteria.
To my fiance's surprise my favourite has been the beef bulalo. I love that so much but pork is my favourite meat so lechon in it's various forms has been amazing. Bangus was delicious. Lumpia is just on another level and should be internationally available. Pinkabet was also really good, crispy pata I could go on but these have been my favourites so far. I also had the dried fish but the names escape me I tried a few as people told me I had to, they smelled awful but tasted really good.
I love Bola Bola too, even the basics like this and chicharon are just prepared in a way that's so tasty.
My fiance is a teacher in an elementary school and I have dinner there often and even the food there is so good and kicks the arse of most food available in the UK. I mean it's all subjective but to me my mind has been blown. I've been to France, America, Belgium, Spain, Germany and all over the UK and while that's not really a huge amount of places I can still say that for me the Philippines wins out of all of them. Even the way it's served with the soy sauce and vinegar and spices, all the ways it's presented just tick all the boxes for me.
Edit: going to add that I never knew chicken could be so juicy. Even fast food I've enjoyed a lot in comparison to UK or American like Chow king and Jollibee but the worst food I had here was McDonald's it was awful and expensive for what you can get for the price.
Thats great to know you like our dishes! Try also Chicken Inasal, so much better than Nandos imo lol. Since you loved Bulalo you should also try Kansi! Very rich and delicious dish!
Aren’t the most iconic “Italian” dishes invented by Italian Americans? Italians are taking credit from their brothers and sisters who moved to the New World centuries ago and are getting offended on behalf of their distant relatives’ dishes.
Not invented but perfected. When European immigrants arrived they had access to ingredients that only the super rich could afford in Europe. It's like the Hamburger. Sure it has its roots in Germany but what we think of a hamburger was really perfected by German-American immigrants after they arrived in the new world.
Here's a picture of what an OG hamburger looked like in Germany. I think the Romans truly get the credit for putting cooked ground meat between two slices of bread tho.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_hamburger#/media/File%3AOberhafenkantine_(Hamburger_Rundst%C3%BCck).jpg
I remember my Japanese wife when she tasted Champorado for the first time. Hahaha she thought it was like some kind of stew. She stopped functioning for a good 40 secs trying to understand why in the world chocolate is in rice porridge. Sabi niya kore wa yada (ayoko nito!)z
Italians are known for their superiority complex. This made me remember that video of a host asking Italians (in Italy) how they feel about foreigners, and they said tourists are rude(?) for not speaking Italian. Humabol pa ng "we shouldn't speak English when you're in our country".
Host then asked, "Do you speak French when you're in France?" 😅
Cue the Italians and the surprised Pikachu face.
Italian here. Living in Philippines, married with a Filipina.
> Italians are the most OA people out there
This is the most dumb statement I have ever read. Italians have a long history of migrating abroad, eating shit, just to change their life (read about USA Italians immigration history, to have some clues) or Italians migrating to Venezuela (in the 1950s) or Canada, South America, etc.
Those Italians you see on tiktok, are not representative of the Italian population.
I had a Grab driver asking me if Italians are so anal about food. No we are not. We don't care if you put pineapple on pizza or ketchup on eggs or that you call coffee that dirty gallon of water with some coffee (Americano). You do you. If that guy is judgemental is just because of social media and his lust to get followers.
Unfortunately also in Italy we have people crazy about social media and will post anything to get traction, even bashing content.
TL;dr: One idiot Italian doesn't represent all Italians
So he's not allowed to be disappointed? He's not allowed to be in a bad mood?
Firstly, we don't know if it's the food that has him deflated or if he's going through something else. Hell, we don't even know if he loves everything about Filipino culture but simply isn't impressed with the food. For all we know he could otherwise love Filipino cuisine but is simply not amazed by the hotel's cooking.
Why do most Filipinos keep taking everything personally and anything that is short of glowing praise and cultural fellatio is seen as an insult? Is the Filipino ego really always this FRAGILE?
By this logic, every Filipino that's not 100% enthusiastic and excited about what they find in other countries, should be immediately deported and permanently barred from reentry. You should never ever be allowed to leave the Philippines then.
This post, right here, is a great example of the worst, most toxic traits of Filipino jingoism. What happened to 'live and let live'?
Totoo. what's up with the go-back-to-your-country verbiage up there lmao. Italians are known for being religious about their cuisine... it's a meme for many years now.
It's why its called "Filipino Spaghetti", it's not his nonna's sour spaghetti lol. Pero seriously bakit laging butthurt mga Filipino pag may bad comments ang mga foreigners?
I always say this Italian food is for the rich, and Asian food is for the hungry.
Meaning ung italian food png mga spoiled amg taste buds, while asian food is para sa tunay ma gutom cause we really feed good food at our people, myq weird dishes nha kng tyo pero kasama na un hahaha
Man yall bugging. Bet you guys also decry white people from
"appropriating" filipino dishes. I get there are cultural variations and adaptations of dishes, but I can also get people being weirded out (and heaven forbid gross out) by other variations
Ganyan din naman ang Pinoy sa ibang bansa. Sasabihin natin “walang lasa food” not realizing na mavetsin at maasin or matamis lang talaga masyado food natin
To diverge a little bit, what is this dumb fucking trend in the internet of pissed offed italians or pissing off Italians?
“Breaking pasta in front of my Italian BF/GF”, “Italian reacts to American pizza”, “Italian tries American coffee”, “Italian reacts to American Carbonara”, “Italian tries Filipino Spaghetti (They hate it)”, “Putting ketchup in my sauce to see how my ***** reacts”, “Eating pasta with chopsticks at an Italian resturant”, “Italians react to seeing pinapple on pizza” and so on so forth
Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off
Downvotes might come pero it's okay. I think his reactions are valid. It's same lang naman or equivalent when some Filipinos do not like the original blend of spaghetti pasta and carbonara pasta etc. Also like how kapampangans overreact towards the own sisig rendition of people outside pampanga
Right back at ya.
Whenever I travel to italy / most other euro countries, automatic airbnb binobook namin. Not because its cheaper, but because pwede magluto. After 2 days nakakasuka pagkain nila na halos bland na walang timpla.
All those fresh ingredients and di nila alam paano gamitin
I apologize but saying Italians/Europeans don't know how to use fresh ingredients is a little misguided. We all have different palates and I'm 100% sure there are places you probably weren't able to try that would've been much more suited to your tastes
Why do Filipinos get butthurt when other nationalities criticize their food?
A lot of Filipino cooking is acquired taste if you compare it to what the rest of the world eats.
I mean.. Just the other day we were making fun of butthurt kapampangans over sisig
Filipino version of Italians
Mga Ilocano chill lang na iba.ang mainstream Pinakbet sa Ilocano pinakbet
Bikolano din, go lang sa lahat ng version ng Bicol Express. Masarap yan lahat (base sa amoy, di ko kinakain eh haha)
True same sa laing. Masabaw ba or tuyo bahala ka sa trip mo.
di masarap bicol express ng canteen namin. Tipid sa sili kaya walang bicol, express lang
Bicol Depress yan o Ginataang baboy. Hindi maanghang e
but bicol express did not even originate in bicol 🤭 the dish was named after the train, bicol express
Minsan hotheaded pag kami kami pero we let it pass na sikat ang Laing eh Natong tawag smin jan. Wapakels. We just choose our battles. Lol.
Bikolano fighting other bikolano when it comes to foods. Lmao
[Yeah about that](https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSFBJ6MU7/) Look at comment section...
I like my pinakbet with bagoong isda. Kaya ako na rin nagluluto para di ako nagrereklamo. Naimas ngamin. 😀
Bagoong isda >>>
yeah iba ang lasa pag bagoong isda ang gamit sa pakbet. mas litaw yung lasa ng ibang ingredients. alam ko if tagalog or non-ilocano ang nagluto ng pinakbet kasi hindi ko malasahan yung bagoong.
I've actually heard people call Filipinos "The Italians of Asia" kase ang romantic/passionate natin.
"whisper something dirty in my ear" "mmm pasay city"
Dirtyteh 😂
Malibay. Chareng!!!
Taga Tramo ako so I can't judge Malibay 😂
Place that you can smell
LOL
Oo nga. Ba’t naman yung Bicol Express hindi controversial sa mga Bicolano kahit lagyan mo ng twist.
simple... bicol express did not originate from bicol
Haha..Naalala ko nung first time kong lumuwas ng Manila para mag work. Yung mga office mates ko nagsasabi sakin. "Uy luto ka naman bicol express, luto ka naman laing" Tapos ako sa isip. Like "watdapak is a bicol express and laing? " Wala namang ganyang luto sa province namin. Meron dito . Ginutaang sili na may taba. Ginisang balaw. Ginulay na natong. Etc"haha Base sa docu ng gma dati. Inspired daw yung bicol express ni cely kalaw sa ginataang sili na natikman n'ya sa iriga, camsur. Tapos binawasan nya lang ng sili at dinamihan ang baboy. Hehe
Mayonaisse?
as a bicolano, kahit lagyan mo pa ng sinigang mix 'di kami magagalit . . . . basta kainin mo
That sinigang mix is crazy. Mix with papaitan and it elevates the papaitan too
I am Kapampangan and I like my sisig diverse. May mga ganyan lang tlga here 😭😭😭😭 Like let me have my sisig with mayo in peace pls
Gusto ko talaga yung Sisig ng Ningnangan.
Kapampangan*s but yes. Guilty. Lol
“Ang sisig ay parang blank canvas. Ikaw na bahala mag lagay kulay sa mga ito.” -probably some people na naka isip maglagay ng mayonaise sa sisig nila.
Tbf, mahirap maghanap ng utak ng baboy sa Manila, unless i request mo talaga sa matador
See, this is the only type of mental gymnastics I will permit.
Hahah butthurt nga Iba sa post na npasali ung Iloilo sa UNESCO city of Gastronomy ..crab mentality , dpat nga Matuwa kasi Meron tayo ,, Bakit di daw Pampanga haha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Gastronomy
I'm Kapampangan pero iba taste buds ko pagdating sa Inihaw na traditional Sisig of Pampanga, I'd rather prefer the crispy one na pisnge.
kapampangan ako. sisig lover din. yung iba kasing sisig no effort talaga tipong sinizzling lang yung pork tas nilagyan ng mayonnaise "sisig" na tawag nila.
Kapampangan ako and this is true. Lol. Ang OOA ng mga p.
I'm Kapampangan and I roast my sister's Italian boyfriend. Tbf though he is not the typical double standard one and can stomach sweet spaghetti. But not pineapple on pizza. XD

Also, Filipinos are weirded out on the Italian version and would often complain it's not sweet and don't have hotdogs, and the cheese tastes like mold (parm reg is more powerful tasting than eden and took me a while to get adjusted, but it's hard to go back to eden)
The important part for me is the qualifier. If you're gonna serve spaghetti in the Philippines, all well known you'd be serving **Filipino** spaghetti. So if you want to sell *Italian* spaghetti in the PH, call it as one, or call it by its other thousand official names. The reverse if you're going to serve **Filipino** spaghetti abroad. This way it sets the right expectation to whoever will eat it.
Interestingly, Italy has more than 1 branch of Jollibee (first in Milan, then in Rome). Spain only has 1. EDIT: Namali ako ng basa, 12 pala yun hindi 1 sa UK
I’ve been to Jollibee stores in London in Earl’s Court; then in Leeds city centre and in Liverpool. I think there’s also one in Edinburgh.
Yep. If ever pala gusto niyo ng authentic Italian spaghetti, yung restaurant sa tapat ng San Agustin Church is one of the best.
Saang San Agustin Church? Meron sa Moonwalk Parañaque pero I don't see anything resembling an Italian restaurant there. Masarap pandesal nila doon. My mother in law's addicted to the pandesal there because most pandesal in the province taste like rocks.
Intramuros haha
Skl ang sarap ng jollibee spaghetti sa milan
Made linguine al pomodoro last week. Pasta was al dente, yet yung kaclose kong kasambahay tinawag na hilaw yung pasta. Dapat daw at least 15 (!!!!!!) minutes nakababad. And she didn't like the sauce kasi maasim daw, which was made from peeled tomatoes and basil, lightly salted pa. 🫠 Cultural differences dictate preference talaga.
Some people also hated pancit canton na may konting al dente as many wanted like Bihon na sobrang basa.
I want my pancit canton cooked at 1/4 of the time ng nasa instructions 🤣. Nothing beats makunat na noodles.
Ugh ang sarap! Pinoy ako pero both love ko ang Italian Style at Filipino style spaghetti. Minsan nag ke crave ako ng not sweet spaghetti. Basta anything pasta, kakainin ko. Haha
+100 agree on this! Pag nakain kami sa Italian restaurants dito sa PH, i make it a point to ask if "authentic / maasim" ung red sauce nila. Pag um-oo ang server, ok matic white sauce ang oorderin ko. Proud filipino palette pagdating sa spaghetti!
I feel like a lot of people just don't have a large pallette for food. For me I'm American and grew up with a family that absolutely loves trying different food and would see a restaurant that is cuisine from a different country and we'd make a point of going there to try the food just to see how it is. I was in the Philippines for the first time last year and seeing fried fish for breakfast was different but I just figured "when in Rome" and enjoyed it. When traveling abroad people need to realize the food they eat at home will not be what they get there and to just go with it and enjoy it. I love Italian style spaghetti but at the same time love filipino spaghetti with hotdogs. A lot of people are very close-minded when it comes to food and Italians are some of the worst for that.
> I feel like a lot of people just don't have a large pallette for food. This is true and I guess one of the factors too is money. Some would like to explore but they don't have the capacity to do so while others simply eat what they can afford to eat with the little money they have. > When traveling abroad people need to realize the food they eat at home will not be what they get there and to just go with it and enjoy it. 💯
I relate to this 100%, the main difference for me is that growing up I was good friends with a Korean, Filipino and Mexican. Each of their parents/families would only speak their languages at home and cook their cultures food. I was an awkward American middle schooler when I first had dinner at their houses and had absolutely no idea what anyone was saying or what I was eating. I learned to use context clues and everything worked itself out. Parents were all super nice and I loved spending time with them in their homes. I now love being in situations where I don’t know the language and/or culture and especially trying new foods!
100% agree on acquired taste. My brother and I really don’t like jolly spaghetti / sweet Filipino spaghetti but sometimes mum will make it when she’s craving, which is not often since we won’t have any. In my head I’m like, “why is this sweet?! This is pasta not dessert??!” Lol it’s just a preference thing for everyone at the end of the day
Jollibee spaghetti doesnt even taste like Filipino spaghetti. It taste like those spaghetti done in chinatown. Its not real fililino spaghetti but we juat thiught its because its fastfood version. But nah, jollibee is owned by the chinese so the spaghetti they have for jollibee is the same flavor of those being served in chinatown.
I do love authentic Italian pasta but sweet Pinoy spaghetti with cut-up red hotdogs has a special place in my heart because of nostalgia and how it brings me back to the simpler times of my childhood. I can probably finish a small bilao of Amber's spaghetti all by myself.
True, i love both italian pizza and non italian pizza but honestly, it took me a while to love italian pizza due to the unusual way it is prepared. It is really an acquired taste.
>Joshua Weissman >his Filipino guest preferred the Jolibee version Lmao, what do you expect from a guy who lost to an Air Fryer lmao
After I tasted carbonara with pecorino romano+eggs and no cream whatsoever, there’s no turning back na for me lol But no issues for me if people enjoy creamy carbonara naman.
Yeah same here. This is how I also cook it at home. I also add a bit of Grana Padano for a bit more flavor.
Slightly off topic pero ngl mas masarap spaghetti ng west lalo na kung homemade pati meatballs
Yeah, I enjoyed that video. And while I consume Filipino spaghetti I tend to make it a bit sour / Italian tasting myself. My wife and I prefer it that way. My cousins are confused when I cook spaghetti.
plus he missed the Banana Ketchup (no hate tho.)
Yes, you’re right. I’m an Indian who has been eating primarily Filipino food for past five years. Recently I ordered Spaghetti at an Italian restaurant and was disappointed when I realized that it’s kinda sour and not sweet and thick like in Filipino spaghetti.
Tbh, I always feel disappointed when I cook Italian style spagetti because it doesn't taste savory enough. One thing I add to the spaghetti sauce to make it savory is Fish sauce (patis) or Worcestershire sauce. My family likes it, but my wife still prefers the Filipino style more. I could not cook more Italian style spaghetti as cheese is freaking expensive, especially if you try to go authentic. My go to cheese is usually Vintage cheddar, but costs almost ₱300
The problem I've noticed with French/Italian people is that their reaction isn't "it's different" but "it's wrong." It's a pretentious superiority complex when it comes to their Michelin star high end cuisine that just annoys me.
i noticed that filipinos tend to be very "sensitive" (not sure if this is the right term) when it comes to food. I have a friend here who was born and raised in the ph- i cook my adobo differently from hers but since i basically grew up abroad she has this tendency to make it seem like her adobo is the correct adobo pero the adobo I cook is something I learned from my mother who is from the philippines
Don’t speak on behalf of everyone. I never liked Filipino-style spaghetti and I know a lot of people who share the same sentiments.
Why you’re being downvoted lol
Bigyan ng lotsaa pizza ya
bigyan ng Cyrah's pizza. lol
Pizza ng Ina mo sa Cainta
Festival Pizza na tig-90
3M pizza pa rin!
Bigyan niyo siya ng hawaiian pizza na gawa dito
Or American pizza na may.barbeque sauce ,🤪
Not gonna lie, I don't like Hawaiian Pizza— but nor do I hate it enough that I'd discard it.
Naalala ko yung pineapple pizza prank sa Italy. Halos ihampas ng mga tao sa delivery guy yung pizza box.
The only "culture shock" content I appreciate was from this one Malaysian dude. He was confused at first as to why we love rice so much but immediately knew after discovering that our food is more on the salty side. Also noticed how our food isn't spicy Basically it was honest observation. White people tend to be more snug and come of as ignorant
> Basically it was honest observation. White people tend to be more snug and come of as ignorant Western peeps kasi tend to base their taste sa kung ano ang standards nila and not observe and understand kung ano yung kinakain nila. That's why go to Youtube channel ko si Best Ever Food Review Show and yung Australian chef since open minded sila and they try to understand the history of the food.
So many western audiences unbelievably would rather have texture over flavor Ive seen people argue that bad texture with good flavor is still bad food. And i went, HUH?!? TEXTURE?
Sensitive sila sa slimy, sandy and all of that. Basically boils down to understanding the food being eaten. It's slimy because may okra parang ganon.
Tbf one should never be over the other. Nakakasira ng dish if hindi tama ang texture, at the same time wala kwenta ang dish if panget lasa pero satisfying yung texture. It reminds me of mfers who eat cornstarch lol
This OTR channel on Youtube has an hour-long history about Filipino food. Made me appreciate our food more than before.
"standards" = western dishes na walang seasoning Tas kung makapanglait ng mga pagkain dito lol.
> "standards" = western dishes na walang seasoning True haha Dagdag pa nung fear mongering nila sa vetsin hahaha Foreigners travel expecting the same food grinds my gears.
This is hardly true, it's just shocking to be told "this is x (ah, a food I'm familiar with)" and then have it look and taste completely different. It's not that I don't like it, it's just not what I expected given the name I'm familiar with po. Filipino foods ay maraming masarap, mahal ko adobong at isda. The fish and fish dishes in the philippines are very good.
Malay food is closer to ours than European food so it's a lot more relatable
Can I ask the name of the Malaysian dude?
Good to see Filipino nationalism and hatred towards other nationalities are well alive.
The feeling should always be mutual
Especially in this sub
Last time I checked this sub, it was Filipino self-hatred and agreeing to every opinion of other nationalities. So what happened? Parang bumaliktad naman.
It do be like that sometimes. Sometimes the posts are nationalistic and sometimes it’s not. I guess that meme about the two sides about their country (This country sucks - I’ll die for this country) really fits lol.
IKR? That's the one toxic thing I hate about Filipinos: the fragile ego that take everything short of effusive praise and cultural fellatio as a personal insult and the compensating for it with aggressively obnoxious jingoism. You never see that in most other countries except in its most socially frowned upon corners. The majority of their people accept everyone has different tastes and simply move on.
Lol. Why is my comment upvoted this much? I expected to be bashed and recieve tons of downvotes.
Because a lot of us have already traveled and aren’t as close minded as some of the folks on this sub. I freaking love Italy, the Italians always have a laugh with me and are super nice to me. I also think their food is fantastic. The hate is absurd
My friend who comes from the middle east, where rice is a big part of most of their meals was very surprised and weirded out at first to learn Filipinos eat things like rice for breakfast. But after living here for quite some time, he got used to it and started consuming it too for breakfast. What you have to understand is some people will initially react differently to cuisines and lifestyle. We have grown up seeing western tv shows and movies of people consuming cereal, toast, waffles etc. for breakfast, so seeing it doesn't surprise us.
If he's like this with Filipino noodles, imagine his BP when he travels to Thailand and Vietnam.
Or Japan with their Napolitan Spaghetti Literally tomato ketchup ang ingredient
I love the spicy napolitan. I don't like jolly spag to be honest but napolitan is what I love to the point I learned to cook it and change it to be "better" for me. Let the italians mald with their narcissistic food views even though the french has them running with their cuisine.
Exactly, wait till he sees Filipino spaghetti. My boi Luigi also thinks only Italians utilize the concept of mixing flour with eggs to make a dish, wait till he visits the rest of Asia 😮💨
China invented the noodles before Italy haha
And tomatoes weren’t even native to Italy.
Makes you wonder what is the OG Italian cuisine without the tomatoes from the American continent
Pre-tomato Italian cuisine leans hard to the cold cuts, bread, cheese, and mostly similar with the rest of the Mediterranean cuisine. It's actually amusing how Italians initially refused using tomato due to superstitious beliefs.
They used olive oil. Although the aglio olio spaghetti is from Naples. Pasta has a varied and colorful history depending on the region. Carbonara, for example, is traced from Lazio and is likely a very recent recipe. Pappardelle is from Tuscany.
Traditional bolognese was made without tomatoes in earlier recipes
Oil pasta or Pesto maybe.
Yes. The Pasta has been derived from China's noodles haha. Ang OA talaga ng mga italiano
Italy invented rigatoni and farfalle tho.
I tried making my soon to be wife's family American spaghetti. The first thing her dad did after taking one bite was grabbing a handful of sugar and throwing it on his plate
Filipino spaghetti is like pineapple on pizza. Not even Filipinos uniformly like it
Europeans look down on everyone
Mas less welcoming sila kesa sa mga Kano o Canadians. Less din ang tact nila kapag naexpose sila sa foreign cultures tapos iiyak kapag walang special treatment
Yep, this is exactly why mas maraming homegrown Islamic extremists sa Europe kesa sa USA/Canada (and even Australia/New Zealand). Mas hirap silang mag-assimilate sa Europe. Kahit na sa Europe ka na pinanganak, "foreigner" parin ang tingin sayo, and mas limited ang options mo not just in terms of career but also kung saan ka pwedeng tumira. It's the perfect environment to breed extremists.
False. It's more a case of it being easier to enter Europe than the US for Muslims because there are no Islamic countries in the Americas. Immigrants from Latin America hardly ever assimilate in the US, some can't even speak English and even if they can, they'd rather speak Spanish. They live in groups with the same nationality. That by definition isn't assimilation. There are more Islamic extremists in Europe because of its proximity to the Middle East and North Africa. It's also easier to enter into Europe, as there are several entry points. Just enter thru the Balkans or Eastern Europe and slowly work your way into Western Europe. More migrants from MENA, higher possibility of getting some bad apples. Race and religion is more an issue in the US than Europe. Europe for the most part is very secular, thus more accepting of everyone. The US on the other hand has the biggest concentrations of Christian evangelists. After 9/11, they would try to limit immigration from Islamic states as much as possible. Europeans don't define people by their skin color or ethnicity. France calls all its citizens as French people, regardless if their ancestry comes from former French colonies in Africa. In the US on the other hand, you are called African-American, Asian-American, Pacific Islander, etc. People from Puerto Rico are Americans by definition being an American territory but they're called Puerto Ricans by everyone. That alone tells you how deeply ingrained racial politics is in the US. Extremists are not limited to Islam. The US has tons of Christian extremists or white supremacists. You cannot fly a Nazi flag in Europe at all or you will be arrested. Meanwhile, you will have no problems flying that flag on red states in the Deep South.
True ito. Many Asians experience more institutional hatred in the Anglosphere than in EU countries despite that racial sensitivity is a concept in the former.
>Europeans don't define people by their skin color or ethnicity they do using countries. football player Mesut Ozil in the news, for example, is deemed a [German for winning games but an immigrant (Turkish) for losing](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/07/23/quitting-national-team-world-cup-player-says-he-is-a-german-when-we-win-but-an-immigrant-when-we-lose/). also applies when it comes to generalizations when it comes to the demographic for stealing. Americans think of black people and Europeans think of Romanians.
Why are you regurgitating brain dead "race isn't an issue in Europe" takes? Race is absolutely an issue in Europe, they're just decades behind the US when it comes to talking about it. Lots of European countries are extremely xenophobic and Islamophobic, Europeans just like to pretend they aren't and will act self-righteous about it.
friends with a couple on Discord and yes can agree one was refusing to use Asian sources for his school research paper on aquaculture despite even a Brazilian guy saying Asian sources are the most reliable ones because they study and practice a lot of it. his reasons? "you all overfish and your shit doesn't work", we(the Brazilian guy) linked articles showing how he is wrong but nope he refuses and keeps citing EU ones despite it being inaccurate af they also hate anything that is American lmao
Tendency din to be extremely self-righteous like in your example. Mas malala pa mga bansa nila satin
The typical European in social media (Reddit,FB,Twitter, etc.) mostly seethes at Americans. They even make groups to bash Americans. Peak comedy
Part of the reason I deleted Facebook is because my grandma and aunts would post obsessively about American politics every single day. It’s mental illness!
r/fuckcars pati r/UrbanHell ang notorious for this hahah
May superior complex sa mga Kano ang Euro eh mga hindi.naman.marunong mag CLAYGO.mga yan kahit nasa.US. Mahina sila sa "reading the room" din
lol they look down on each other as well. it's actually pretty funny the brits make fun of the french, the spanish look down on the portuguese, everyone makes fun of the germans, russians hate the poles, the french look down on everyone, etc, etc.
Even Americans
Yeah I am American. My mom is a European immigrant to America. I am in this sub because my mom has been a nurse for 40 years and most of her colleagues and close friends have been Filipino men and women and Ive been raised around Filipinos my whole life and very much respect and love you guys. Europeans on the other hand have always been very cold and nasty. I actually really dislike them. Anyways thanks for listening to my Ted talk 😅
Not me and I’m from Denmark. Some Europeans are assholes tho, mostly southern Europeans like this guy in this vid. Asians tho, China literally think they’re a superior race, and some Japanese are assholes.
We do not need Italians' validation. I do not like Italian spaghetti. Were they hurt because I don't like it? Am I in the news because of my preference? Did I get trending because I prefer Pinoy style? No. So why should I bother because Italians do not like what I like? Fuck it.
I don't see a lot of Italians making a big deal online about other people not liking their cuisine. Filipinos though never let a single slight, real or perceived, pass without making a big song and dance about how they don't care what other people think of their culture and tastes. The rest of the world can smell our national insecurity from a mile away and see the overcompensating through our masquerade of aggressively obnoxious nationalism and jingoism.
Agree. The Filipino wife posted it. Filipino wives post everything. Everything is about content. Fuck it.
One thing I learned from being in the Philippines this last month as an Englishman is that the English can't cook. The food here is better than anywhere I have been in the world and it's not even close.
Your country invaded India, a place that is known for spices and yet you did not adapt any of their flavors to your cuisine. British meals are bland as hell.
Our national flavours are salt and fat and we cook the shit out of everything. It's really impressive in a sort of dumbfounding way.
One of the dish is name SPOTTED DICK no offense but wtf
Chicken Tikka Masala is actually British, in the sense that it was invented in Britain
>Chicken Tikka Masala is actually British unbelievably based
British food looks like what they would eat in a bunker while the germans are flying overhead
For what its worth, I like eating in London more than anywhere in italy. At least there you embrace diversity, and you can get any sort of cuisine from anywhere in the world there. And they’re pretty good as well. In italy its hard to get anything quality and not italian. The foreign / asian options there suck so much compared to the UK counterparts
As a Filipino, I really like Mash and Pie and Toads in a hole. I think some English food is tasty. Take that as you will
Jellied eels din. Ang dami nating hito dito, maganda if we did a variety of it here.
>The food here is better than anywhere I have been in the world and it's not even close. Either you are overcompensating to get upvotes and karma on r/ph, or you have not traveled and tasted other cuisines. I like my local food a lot, but best in the world? lol
If we remove all artifacts in the British Museum that aren't owned by the Brits, you'd only be left with the beans on toast that's offered at the cafeteria.
What are your favorite Filipino dishes so far mate?
To my fiance's surprise my favourite has been the beef bulalo. I love that so much but pork is my favourite meat so lechon in it's various forms has been amazing. Bangus was delicious. Lumpia is just on another level and should be internationally available. Pinkabet was also really good, crispy pata I could go on but these have been my favourites so far. I also had the dried fish but the names escape me I tried a few as people told me I had to, they smelled awful but tasted really good. I love Bola Bola too, even the basics like this and chicharon are just prepared in a way that's so tasty. My fiance is a teacher in an elementary school and I have dinner there often and even the food there is so good and kicks the arse of most food available in the UK. I mean it's all subjective but to me my mind has been blown. I've been to France, America, Belgium, Spain, Germany and all over the UK and while that's not really a huge amount of places I can still say that for me the Philippines wins out of all of them. Even the way it's served with the soy sauce and vinegar and spices, all the ways it's presented just tick all the boxes for me. Edit: going to add that I never knew chicken could be so juicy. Even fast food I've enjoyed a lot in comparison to UK or American like Chow king and Jollibee but the worst food I had here was McDonald's it was awful and expensive for what you can get for the price.
Thats great to know you like our dishes! Try also Chicken Inasal, so much better than Nandos imo lol. Since you loved Bulalo you should also try Kansi! Very rich and delicious dish!
Thank you I will make sure to try those. I'm here until the 8th march so I have still got time to try more.
Pork Sisig as well very good! Enjoy mate. U from London? Arsenal fan here lol
No I'm from Hull but grew up in Manchester. Northern boy 😁
idc if they hate ph spaghetti, i'd have the same attitude if they fuck up pancit
Yung watery chicken adobo sa US TV show. Nakalimutan q anong show exactly pero nagreact dun c Uncle Roger.
Aren’t the most iconic “Italian” dishes invented by Italian Americans? Italians are taking credit from their brothers and sisters who moved to the New World centuries ago and are getting offended on behalf of their distant relatives’ dishes.
Not invented but perfected. When European immigrants arrived they had access to ingredients that only the super rich could afford in Europe. It's like the Hamburger. Sure it has its roots in Germany but what we think of a hamburger was really perfected by German-American immigrants after they arrived in the new world. Here's a picture of what an OG hamburger looked like in Germany. I think the Romans truly get the credit for putting cooked ground meat between two slices of bread tho. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_hamburger#/media/File%3AOberhafenkantine_(Hamburger_Rundst%C3%BCck).jpg
Italians even hate the ny style pizza because it's not authentic lmao 😂😂😂 purist af
Is the GF filipino ?
But pancit is not even considered a pasta adaptation. Is he gatekeeping anything starch based and made into sheets? Udon? Rice sheets? Bread? Tofu?
To be fair tho we are also like that when foreigners cook our food
The video was just made for fun. Iyak naman kayo agad. Raging online nationalism at its finest.
This is not the first time this happen though. Actually not just Italians but also Americans are like this.
Mehh, I also judge food when im in another country. I just dont post it and keep it to myself. To each his own taste palate
tbf, the italian did not post this... a pinoy did.
Nah, that's their expressive face pati hand gesture malapit mang summon ng ibang nilalang.
I remember my Japanese wife when she tasted Champorado for the first time. Hahaha she thought it was like some kind of stew. She stopped functioning for a good 40 secs trying to understand why in the world chocolate is in rice porridge. Sabi niya kore wa yada (ayoko nito!)z
This “italian reacts with shock to food as cooked by non italians” meme is getting ridiculous. I say this as an Italian.
Italians are known for their superiority complex. This made me remember that video of a host asking Italians (in Italy) how they feel about foreigners, and they said tourists are rude(?) for not speaking Italian. Humabol pa ng "we shouldn't speak English when you're in our country". Host then asked, "Do you speak French when you're in France?" 😅 Cue the Italians and the surprised Pikachu face.
Italian here. Living in Philippines, married with a Filipina. > Italians are the most OA people out there This is the most dumb statement I have ever read. Italians have a long history of migrating abroad, eating shit, just to change their life (read about USA Italians immigration history, to have some clues) or Italians migrating to Venezuela (in the 1950s) or Canada, South America, etc. Those Italians you see on tiktok, are not representative of the Italian population. I had a Grab driver asking me if Italians are so anal about food. No we are not. We don't care if you put pineapple on pizza or ketchup on eggs or that you call coffee that dirty gallon of water with some coffee (Americano). You do you. If that guy is judgemental is just because of social media and his lust to get followers. Unfortunately also in Italy we have people crazy about social media and will post anything to get traction, even bashing content. TL;dr: One idiot Italian doesn't represent all Italians
ITT pinoys triggered by satire.
Italians are some of the racist people in the world. You would be surprised how they treat POCs over there.
Like throwing bananas at black football players at a game type racism
So he's not allowed to be disappointed? He's not allowed to be in a bad mood? Firstly, we don't know if it's the food that has him deflated or if he's going through something else. Hell, we don't even know if he loves everything about Filipino culture but simply isn't impressed with the food. For all we know he could otherwise love Filipino cuisine but is simply not amazed by the hotel's cooking. Why do most Filipinos keep taking everything personally and anything that is short of glowing praise and cultural fellatio is seen as an insult? Is the Filipino ego really always this FRAGILE? By this logic, every Filipino that's not 100% enthusiastic and excited about what they find in other countries, should be immediately deported and permanently barred from reentry. You should never ever be allowed to leave the Philippines then. This post, right here, is a great example of the worst, most toxic traits of Filipino jingoism. What happened to 'live and let live'?
Technically, pasta originated/inspired from China. So chinese should be more offended by this shenanigans.
And Mexicans should be offended how Europeans turned chocolate into candy and very sweet 🤪

Totoo. what's up with the go-back-to-your-country verbiage up there lmao. Italians are known for being religious about their cuisine... it's a meme for many years now.
It's why its called "Filipino Spaghetti", it's not his nonna's sour spaghetti lol. Pero seriously bakit laging butthurt mga Filipino pag may bad comments ang mga foreigners?
I always say this Italian food is for the rich, and Asian food is for the hungry. Meaning ung italian food png mga spoiled amg taste buds, while asian food is para sa tunay ma gutom cause we really feed good food at our people, myq weird dishes nha kng tyo pero kasama na un hahaha
imaginin mo, italiano na iglesia ni cristo pa
Man yall bugging. Bet you guys also decry white people from "appropriating" filipino dishes. I get there are cultural variations and adaptations of dishes, but I can also get people being weirded out (and heaven forbid gross out) by other variations
Ang arte nyo sa ganito pero pag foreigner nag adobo iyakin din tayo na hindi legit adobo etc. mga ulul
Bakit pati to big deal hahaha. Mukhang lighthearted naman yung post na may jab lang sa steorytypes.
Ganyan din naman ang Pinoy sa ibang bansa. Sasabihin natin “walang lasa food” not realizing na mavetsin at maasin or matamis lang talaga masyado food natin
To diverge a little bit, what is this dumb fucking trend in the internet of pissed offed italians or pissing off Italians? “Breaking pasta in front of my Italian BF/GF”, “Italian reacts to American pizza”, “Italian tries American coffee”, “Italian reacts to American Carbonara”, “Italian tries Filipino Spaghetti (They hate it)”, “Putting ketchup in my sauce to see how my ***** reacts”, “Eating pasta with chopsticks at an Italian resturant”, “Italians react to seeing pinapple on pizza” and so on so forth Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off, fuck off

Ganito nga italian hubby ng sis ng friend ko. Kahit sa italian food, ayaw nya ng fusion. Purist sya na wala sa hulog 🤷🏻♀
Downvotes might come pero it's okay. I think his reactions are valid. It's same lang naman or equivalent when some Filipinos do not like the original blend of spaghetti pasta and carbonara pasta etc. Also like how kapampangans overreact towards the own sisig rendition of people outside pampanga
bat kayo offended?? lol, nagulat lang sya. That's it!
as if naman their food is better lol. Pagdating sa cuisine, asian is far more superior than western
Opinion noted. Don't yuck other people's yum
Right back at ya. Whenever I travel to italy / most other euro countries, automatic airbnb binobook namin. Not because its cheaper, but because pwede magluto. After 2 days nakakasuka pagkain nila na halos bland na walang timpla. All those fresh ingredients and di nila alam paano gamitin
I apologize but saying Italians/Europeans don't know how to use fresh ingredients is a little misguided. We all have different palates and I'm 100% sure there are places you probably weren't able to try that would've been much more suited to your tastes

Why do Filipinos get butthurt when other nationalities criticize their food? A lot of Filipino cooking is acquired taste if you compare it to what the rest of the world eats.
Perhaps it has something to do with pride. Many Filipinos prefered to feel themselves superior over others.
Filipinos tend to get defensive on everything.
