The missing post on Filipino food
Our occasional guest-blogger, Noel Maurer, has been a little busy lately, but through the magic of the Internet we have a replacement for his post on the glamorous food of the Philippines! The great cartoonist Lynda Barry was once asked:
pork versus chicken adobo, which camp do you belong to? and will you share your adobo recipe with us? also bryan wants to know your opinion on the other filipino debate, "long grain vs. calrose"?
Her answers begin here. Remember: chicken adobo will sterilize the problem.
(Shameless name-dropping: Lynda Barry did the cover art for my friends Joe and Anita's wedding album. Eleventeen remixed renditions of the Chicken Dance on CD. It's terrifying. I say this with admiration. Like Ms. Barry, Joe is a product of Richland Center, Wisconsin.)
Also, the Wily Filipino (narrow it down) has blogged about the mystery of adobo here and here, among other places.
PS I'm sending a copy of Cruddy in the next box to Yerevan, so probably in July. C and D, you'll like.
Update: there are also more of Belle Waring's thoughts on the Philippines here. (I should warn our gentle readers that there are some unpleasant and disturbed people in the comments which follow Belle's remarks. And Doug!)
