Comments on: History of Filipino Food, Prehistoric Filipinos http://www.myfilipinokitchen.com/history-of-filipino-food-prehistoric-filipinos/ Fiipino Food Overdose Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:33:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: lola http://www.myfilipinokitchen.com/history-of-filipino-food-prehistoric-filipinos/comment-page-1/#comment-13966 lola Wed, 10 Aug 2011 08:25:24 +0000 http://www.myfilipinokitchen.com/?p=666#comment-13966 Great story, wish more people would read it and live it...ie, be proud of their skin color whatever it may be. Not that it's your main subject here but this skin whitening thing is not just here, but all over asia, and just about anywhere else where it will sell. If the sun wasn't free, there would be products and ridiculous campaigns to advertise it too. All the lies about anti-ageing and cancer preventing I can stomach, but shamelessly tying whiteness to status and beauty is just heart-breaking. The other day I saw a truck load of young Olay sellers being dispatched in a fairly poor area of town. I asked them what are the benefits of their whitening cream..."because you will be like the foreigners, your nose will look bigger and you will more beautiful." Sigh.

Province. Where the rice originated from and why the sky is high now and many more. I have to go back to their shed and look for it. I think I need to read this book to my children....

I love Philippine History and I love food so there you go. @spicegasm I think so too. the thing is, we don't have any official records of what happened, so everything turns to theories. although i can say that there is truth to this because these stories were handed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. or so is said.

The soup there is brown because I used chicken stock which really didn’t work well with it. Just use plain tap water.
