Your Favourite Native food

pandooh

I am from the Philippines and I love different kinds of foods. May it be from street foods to native foods.
TInola
Adobo
Sinigang
Embutido
Nilagang baka with mais
Giniling
Snacks:
Chicharon
Suman
Sapin-sapin
All kinds of "kakanin"

I would love to put photos in here but I don't know how to. LOL. However you may search on it on google if you have the time to look for those "yummy" foods. If one those listed are in the table, I can't help myself but have 3 or more refills of my plate for rice. It's as if I am not full enough. Those listed are just the major native foods that I can enumerate but I know to myself that there are more and I can't put them all here. If you visit here in the Philippines you may look for more different variety of foods in here. And lastly, my favorite drink is fresh buko. It's really cheap and healthy. You can look for a vendor anywhere just make sure to bring a bottle if you don't want to drink in a plastic bag, though.

Chicaron and balot is the best snack I would prefer to eat that you can see in parks and streets. I really love dipping them to Sukang Ilocos with lots of pepper. This native food is actually delicious, easy to find, and most of all it is very cheap that anyone can afford it. Tinola manok is best for people with fevers delicious food. Sapin- sapin is one of the best dessert i have tasted and it is more delicious when you put lots of latik or toasted desiccated coconut flakes. While doing this post makes me hungry

hope to taste more of native foods in other country.

I love chicharon, too! Especially when they are dipped in a chili-vinegar sauced. However I am not a fan of Balot. LOL. I don't really like to see the bones and feathers while eating. But I hope to eat other provincial foods, too.

Yes, balot are kind of scary to eat but once you start eating it you will not think of the appearance of it. Speaking of balot I also loved the one day old it very delicious and my friends and I actually love it and use it as our "pulutan" when we drink. Hope you like it to.

They said it's better to eat balot at night so that you won't be able to see the distorted appearance. LOL. Maybe I'll try it someday and learn from the professional balut eaters.

I do also like those foods, especially sinigang and adobo. When we have a feast, within our place. We usually celebrate mass, after the mass, we prepare more foods, for our guest and visitors. I don't usually help for cooking the food, after the preparations. I always greet our guest and invite them to eat with us. It's part of our culture to let our visitors, as especial guest to eat in feast seasons.

It is part of our culture to have food, as to serve, for our guest. We feel more happy, when they accept our invitations, and attend into our house. But eating special dishes, doesn't necessarily to prepare those foods, sometimes it serves in regular occasion.

Well, my favorite native foods are going to be a bit boring compared to the exotic cuisine mentioned above me. I was born in the American South, and raised there, so I grew up mainly eating the soul food of my grandmothers. Here's a list:

fresh buttermilk biscuits
country ham
fried green tomatoes
home-made pickles and peppers
squash casserole
green apple pies
sweet potato pie
collard green flavored with pork
mustard greens
black-eyed peas
gravy

And the list goes on and on. I miss my grandmothers' cooking so badly. They have both passed on, and it is hard to find good soul food places these days, even in the south.

JoeMilford,
I was really curious about "fried green tomatoes" that you mentioned. Its new to my ear and how does it taste by the way?. I think it's not a bit boring but interesting.

I was born in the Philippines and we have a lot of native food although "pork or chicken adobo" is the national food of the Philippines but my all time favorite native food is "tinolang native na manok" or in English it's called "native chicken soup". The native chicken is tasty especially if you will cooked it with lemon grass and tomato. Every time I ate "native chicken soup", it brings back memories of my mother because it is her specialty.

Hello there! Well, the green tomatoes are very tart, and a bit bitter; they almost have a bit of a sour citrus-like note to them. So, you dredge them in cornmeal and deep fry them, in peanut oil, if you have it. You can either season your cornmeal, or season the tomatoes with salt and pepper out of the fryer. Once thy cool and are ready to eat, you bite into the crunchy coating with the salt, and then you taste the warm sour center, it is quite delicious!

Yes I guess it is delicious I like the taste of sour citrus anyway. I will try that but instead of cornmeal I'm going to use oatmeal I think it's the only available downtown.

That Afang soup must be really delicious. I hope I can visit Nigeria and have some.

I am from the Philippines and my favorite local food is Kansi. It is a beef stew with Anato and Batuan seeds which makes it sour. It is a delicacy from the southern part of the Philippines. It is best eaten with rice and of course, a lot of chillies.

I am Pinoy and my favorite native food is adobo. Philippine adobo is a popular dish and cooking process in Philippine cuisine that involves meat, seafood, or vegetables marinated in vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic, which is browned in oil, and simmered in the marinade. Adobo is very popular in the philippines and a lot of Filipino loves this food. Maybe almost all Filipino know's how to cook this food. My mom teaches me to cook this food and I love cooking this food. This food is best serve when lunch and best eat when it is hot.

It is pretty good! A national favorite. The only problem is that is it deep fried and it does not agree well with some people's stomachs. Nevertheless, everyone should at least try before discarding it. I'm sure they wouldn't regret it.

My favorite native food would be roasted chicken it is very delicious that i cannot resist to eat if it is serve in front of me. since when i am still a kid i always love to it roasted chicken with my family during vacation or holidays. also i try to eat roasted chicken with gravy tasted more delicious. the technique in making the roasted chicken more yummy is to put more seasoning inside the chicken before cook for 2 days and then cook it.

My favorite one is a snack, is a cheese stick inside a very smooth dough and its called Tequenos, there is no party of family reunion where u can't eat these delicious snacks, and no these are not mozzarella sticks, these are different. Another one is the typical and traditional Arepa, there is no way you come here, or you meet a Venezuelan that don't cook an Arepa for you, is kind of a round sandwich, made with corn flour, and you can fill it with any kind of food, from ham and cheese to potato-chicken salad, the options are endless. Venezuelan food is amazing, ask around and you will see.

I actually don't like soup but, if I go to Nigeria I Would it that soup, for what you saying is delicious. My favorite native food is The Cachapa with cheese and I Also like Arepa. Those dishes are delicious, The Cachapa is made from fresh corn and is traditionally eaten with queso de mano, in some cases with fried pork on the side. I seriously recommend it.
Arepa is a traditional Venezuelan dish too. It is flat, round, and can be grilled, baked, fried, etc. They are delicious when you fried them. If you come to Venezuela you should try it you won't regret it.

I would love to go to Nigeria just to taste that! Anyway, if you have a chance to go to the Philippines, you should taste our Halo Halo especially if you have a sweet tooth! Everybody loves this cheeky dessert and I bet you're gonna like it as well. It's very refreshing since it's a mixture of shaved ice and evaporated milk to various fruits and other ingredients like sweet beans, coconut, etc. This is the perfect comfort food for me!

I'm from Mindanao phiippines. I like to eat vegetable, and I always love to eat it. Many people tend to refer to eat vegetable foods.

This is what I eat and my favorite food:

1. Pakbet - a form of vegetable food, and it's very tasty

I'm from Brazil! We have many native foods here, but my favorite has to be feijoada. It's basically black beans and rice, but there are a lot of diferent seasonings that go with it, like pork, sausages, and many pig-related goodies! I might have not given the best explanation of it here, but it's definitely worth a try if you're ever in Brazil.

I'm not sure if there is anything from my native country that I like to be honest with you. There are actually quite a few sweet things from my native country that I love but I am not sure if it actually considered a native food or if it just one of those foods that the people like to eat. It's this sort of ring thing that is covered in honey or something. It's extremely sweet and sticky but it is so nice. Unfortunately, I am not sure what it is called so I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

I am from Poland and the answer is Pierogi! I think many people have heard of them, pierogi are Polish dumplings that can be filled with many different things. My favorite (the most classic version) are pierogi ruskie which are filled with white cheese and potatoes. They're delicious. Other types are pierogi with minced meat, with spinach and cheese or sweet version with fruits (like strawberries or blackberries) or sweet white cheese.

I am from eastern North Carolina. My favorite local dish is Eastern-style Barbecue. Our pulled pork is vinegar and pepper based without tomato. You will not find barbecue like this anywhere else. Even other parts of the state do their barbecue way differently. When I am away I miss this dish so much. Nothing can beat a barbecue sandwich topped with coleslaw. I love it.

You can never go wrong with some BBQ, we do things a bit differently in my country when it comes to Barbecue, because the meat is different and the ingredients we use, however the end result isn't too different, and is always very delicious.

It is nice to see a fellow Nigeria on this forum! well, I am from the South eastern part of Nigeria and I must confess that the favourite food that I can eat even for 3 times in a day is the ogbono soup and eba prepared with lots of meat and smoked fish in it. I must confess that ogbono soup is the first food I learnt how to cook and whenever I eat this food, it gives me a special kind of feeling that I can't get elsewhere.

It is an amazing native food liked by many in this Eastern part of Nigeria and one that I can't get tired of eating because of the likeness I've got for it. I prefer ogbono soup any time of the day that I want to take swallow food.

My favourite native food is Biriyani. I love biriyani. It is a popular native food in India. It is a spicy food prepared using a special rice, namely basmati rice.

Along with rice, they add onions, tomato and obviously so many spices. India is always famous for spices.

The aroma of the food itself is very tempting. It makes a perfect lunch for special days. And I'm sure to taste Afang soup, if I visit Nigeria.

Our native food is the Biryani too. I really love this dish and can eat it very often. My favorite is chicken Biryani. However as I have stomach problems I always put less spices in my Biryani so that I can enjoy eating it. I think no one can resist eating Biryani. Well that's the case in my country.

Well at the moment I'm trying out a vegan diet, so I actually can't even eat most of what I would consider my favorite food native to my country. I'm currently living where I was originally born, the Balkans, and we have a lot of unique food that is absolutely delicious. One of my favorites is called Burek, which is a type of pastry that is made with your choice of filling, ranging from ground meat to cheese, and even classic pizza toppings like cheese, tomato, and mushrooms. It is a common tradition here to go out on the weekends and party all night, and wait for the bakeries to open in the morning and order some Burek with yogurt to stave off the ensuing hangover.

Hi, Augusta I never ate the Afang soup and Eba, but since that's a traditional dish I'm sure it tastes well. My favorite native meal is "sarmale", this meal consists of minced meat mixed with rice, onion, pepper, and thyme wrapped in acres of cabbage. I do not know if you have ever heard of this, but you should try it, and when you find a Romanian restaurant you may ask for this meal, you will have no regrets!

It is a way of cooking native chickens with minimal use of condiments to make it tasty.

I must say "bibimbap" is definitely my favorite native food. It may sound strange to others because it only contains simple ingredients, however it doesn't really fails to capture my taste buds. Rice with beef, a few vegetables and red chili paste. Literally this should be called "mixed rice" delicacy. This simple dish makes me want to devour all of my vegetables. I love it when my mom serves it with a dollop of chili paste mixed into the dish before i eat it, and almost always with a sunny-side up egg. Yummy! By the way, i'm a half-korean.

Well well, I am from Nigeria and I have actually tasted afang soup with eba when I visited Akwa Ibom State. I actually did my national youth service (NYSC) in the state. Afang is a sweet delicacy which I enjoy eating so much especially when mixed with Edikaikor soup. I love fufu more than eba.

I am from the eastern part of Nigeria, Enugu precisely. Our native food I enjoy eating more than any other food is Fio-Fio which is basically called Agbugbu in our native talk. It's a heavy food that just one plate, you won't feel hungry again that day unless you are a glutton. It will only be making you thirsty and you will drink lots of water. I can never get tired of eating Agbugbu. We Nigerians have several sweet delicacies.

I'm John and I live in Philippines. The native food that I like is the "Adobo" . You can have pork or chicken adobo. Adobo is very easy to cook. It is mixture of some species with soy sauce and vinegar into a pork or chicken. You can also add some spoon of sugar and pineapple to make it more tasty. You can cook it within 30 minutes. You can add some chili if you want to be spicy but for me I don't like chili. Adobo is very famous in the Philippines and I has different variety.

My favorite native food is a seafood plate, made of all kind of seafood, you've guessed it, and also with fish and Chinese vermicelli, it's a luxurious and expensive plate which could be served in marriages and all kinds of happy occasions, we don't do it on funerals, cause we're afraid of people starting to enjoy the occasion.

I'm brazilian, and since I'm from northeast, I'll be going with "Tapioca". It's simple the powder of manioc. After that, you place a thin layer of tapioca at the frying pan, toast a little and throw whatever you want: cheese, bacon, beef, pork. It's a really fast recipe, very common to see at street, and very cheap too. If you're comming to Brazil, try it! You won't regret.

My favorite native food is sinigang! It is v very tasty and bit sour but it really taste good .

It is traditionally tamarind based. Other versions of the dish derive their sourness from ingredients such as guava, calamansi, bilimbi, or unripe mango among others. Powdered soup base or bouillon cubes for sinigang based on tamarind or calamondin are also used in place of natural fruits. Vinegar is not used for making sinigang sour. There are a lot of sinigang variations it could be meat fish, pork,or shrimp is often stewed with tamarinds, tomatoes, and onions. Other vegetables commonly used in the making of sinigang include okra, taro corms (gabi), daikon (labanos), water spinach (kangkong), yardlong beans (sitaw) and eggplant (talong). Most Filipinos like to cook sinigang with green finger pepper in order to enhance the taste while adding a little spice to the dish.

And my ultimate type of sinigang is PORK and SHRIMP!

My favorite native food is the Sinigang na baboy. It is a sour soup with pork and vegetables. The sourness commonly comes from tamarind or other people use different kinds of sour fruits/vegetables. It is paired with rice and some fish sauce. Voilà! That's my favorite native food here in the Philippines.

My favorite local food is "Tuwon Shinkafa" and "Miyan Kubewa" it is made of rice and okro. The food is mostly eaten by the northern people of Nigeria, which are mostly Hausa/Fulani. The test of the food is just wow.

Here in the Philippines every provinces have their own local food. One of my favorite is 'loming batangas. It has a thick and tasty sauce. Ingredients are pork, meatballs, kikiam, raw eggs. There are many 'lomi' that claims authentic 'loming batangas' but for me the real 'lomi' is only found in Batangas.

I am from the Philippines and my favorite native food is the Beef Stew or what we call Nilagang Baka. This is a main course dish that you can eat on its own without pairing it with cooked rice. It is rich in flavor because it has been cooked for a long time so that the meat is so tender and delicious to eat. Next in the dessert section is the Sapin-sapin, it is a layered glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk that is usually sprinkled with Latik (also from coconut milk) or sweetened dessicated coconut. For appetizers, I love the Crispy Kangkong leaves, it is the leaves of water spinach coated in an egg batter and deep friend to become crispy. It is served with ranch dressing. Wow, writing this comment up made me a little bit hungry.

I don't think I can choose dinuguan, bihon or siomai. Whenever they're served in a party, it feels like real heaven to me, especially when my grandma cooks it. Foreigners who visit in our country feels it icky to eat dinuguan since it does contain pig's blood and innards, but if cooked well, it's really tasty. I'm sorry if some readers would feel grossed out with my explanation. For bihon, we have different variations of it, but the one I love the most is from this restaurant that I frequent just because of their bihon. My favorite siomai is sold in this certain town and they use a spicy garlic paste that is really unique among others.

Probably my very own Tinola and Adobo and yeah that means my very own cooking. The way I cooked both of these yummy dishes at first is I saute first the chicken with ginger strips, crushed garlic and sliced onions, added some chili powders, salt and pepper. Yes I like them spicy. I always tend to tenderized the chicken and let it simmer until almost half of the water has evaporated making the broth more tastier.

My favorite native food is Adobo which were originated from Philippines. I really love the taste which would make you proud of your own country. Adobo is the favorite by most foreigners and everytime they are asked what is the favorite Filipino food they have tasted Adobo is always in their choice. Adobo also called Adobar (Spanish: marinade, sauce, or seasoning) is the immersion of raw food in a stock (or sauce) composed variously of paprika, oregano, salt, garlic, and vinegar to preserve and enhance its flavor. The Portuguese variant is known as Carne de vinha d'alhos. The practice is native to Iberia, namely Spanish cuisine and Portuguese cuisine. It was widely adopted in Latin America and other Spanish and Portuguese colonies, including the Azores and Madeira. In the Philippines, the name adobo was given by the Spanish colonists to an indigenous cooking method that also uses vinegar, which, although superficially similar, had developed independently of Spanish influence.]

My favorite native food would be " puto " here in the Philippines. It is made from a sticky rice. We usually eat this in the morning or breakfast. It is best served with "tsokolate" or chocolate milk.

My favorite native food is adobo. Its a Filipino dish. This can be chicken adobo or pork adobo. Both are simply delicious and tasty. During my childhood I always asked my mom to cook adobo specially if it is served with hard boiled eggs. This is also perfect along with garlic fried rice. And until now I really love this dish.

I am from Nepal and rice is a staple food in my home country. We make different kinds of rice dishes and the most popular rice dish is boiled rice. Boiled rice is usually eaten with lentil soup and vegetable curry. Boiled rice taste good when eaten with gravy meat. Another popular food in my home country is dumplings. Dumplings are small steamed/fried dough balls with meat or vegetable fillings. Chicken dumpling is my favorite food.

Here in my country my favorite native food would probably be sisig, this dish so delicious and what makes it more tastier is when you put it in sizzling plate and add an egg, It will be cooked directly when you put it in top of the dish. This food is what makes our holiday or occasions perfect. You can even eat this whenever you drink beers, it will be perfect.

I'm from Philippines and I have two favorite local foods here. One is called, kare-kare. It's my favorite dish. Kare-kare is one of our famous dishes here. It is made of pork and peanut sauce. Green leafy vegetables are put as toppings in this dish. This dish goes well with shrimp paste. Another local food I want to share is taho. It's my favorite local snack. Taho is a healthy street food made of tofu topped with syrup and our so called sago (the one you see in pearl shakes). It is usually for breakfast. Don't miss these foods when you visit our country one of these days. Enjoy!

My favorite native food is Mutton Biriyani, also commonly known in my culture as 'Kachi Biriyani'. If you don't know what Biriyani is, it is basically rice mixed with pieces of meat. Various types of spices are given to add color and flavor to the Biriyani. It is just delicious!

I also am from the Philippines. My favorite native food is Caldereta. There are three types of meat that can be used in a Caldereta. That would be beef, chicken, and pork. But I am more into chicken Caldereta.

I like sinigang na baboy so much. In Bisaya, we don't have sinigang but we only have nilagang baboy(pork meat), baka(beef meat) or manok(chicken meat). When I tasted the sinigang for the first time, It was weird for me since we don't cook sinigang in our province but as soon as I get to know the taste of sinigang, I'm loving it more. I also like to cook adobo na manok and baboy.

We live in a multicultural society. We have many local foods that I'm spoilt for choice. My favorite local meal though is chapati and liver stew. Many people don't get this, but I absolutely love this meal. I can eat this meal all day, everyday. However the irony is that I try to avoid it at all costs because of its high wheat content. Wheat has is the worst type of carbohydrate which I try to avoid at all costs. I indulge in it occasionally on my cheat day and I have it for all three meals.

I'm from America, bI was born my grandparents are from China. I like so much Chinese food, especially how my grandma prepares it. Some of my favorite dishes are chicken lo mein, dan dan noodles, mapo tofu, and the rice n all its forms, with vegetables, meat, pork, or chicken whatever. I try to steal some tips for cooking a perfect rice dish from my grandma. She cooks rice in a rice cooker. I bought it too, a small one because I live alone. I have read a lot of reviews from https://www.thewindupspace.com/best-small-rice-cooker/ to choose the best one. Without a good rice cooker, no way to get tasty rice.
