What do you like to eat on a Rainy Day?

mystic14

It's summer where I live. Well they say it is but it's not really until until this month around the 21st. It does rain during the summer. I love ice cream on hot days. I dunno if it's raining. I guess we eat chicken soup on cold days.

Wouldn't it be funny if we kept eating cold food during rainy days? I still have ice cream whether it's hot or cold. The only question is if you can afford to buy it frequently. That's the hot and cold season for my wallet.

Hahahaha You alone there mate. Personally I do not think that I can ever eat anything that cold when it is cold outside. Even when I need to drink water at such times I always boil it or atleast pass some warmth.

Batchoy is good for me in a rainy day. I like it very much. It was during the 80's that its a hit in our place. Almost all the restaurant aree selling that. But now only a few was left.

I think its good. It has not become common. Its good that you miss that food from time to time. Over eating of that food is not good also. During the rainy season that is my favorite food.

Taking time to enjoy pap with some bean cakes is one thing that I enjoy during the summer. It is the type of meal that you can't resist especially when milk and enough tea is added to the pap as well. We take it every morning and it is great for many of us.

I am from Philippines. Before when I still in the province, my mother always bring me to that specific food vendor with table whenever I accompanied her to market. She always take me there especially rainy days. What I have remember was she always order white puto (bikong puti ) in tagalog with hot chocolate or what we called tablia that's why when its rainy day, I always wanted to eat white puto with a sip of tablia during rainy days.

I love to eat rice cakes and other glutinous rice sweet snacks like "Suman" which is sweet glutinous rice wrapped in coconut leaves and boiled in coconut milk, partner this snack with some hot chocolate made from "Tablea" or Pure ground chocolate made into Tablets the size of a dollar coin and then mix with hot milk and some water and you've got a perfect early morning or late afternoon snack. My late grandmother used to prepare this when I was a little boy and it was so tasty.

Sometimes its good to live in a province because they prepare those kinds of delicious food that's different from the city. People living in the province are most probably use to prepare those kinds of food and that's what likely we missed when we live in the province before.

I can't explain the taste but you have to put sugar on it to become tasty because its taste bitter like coffee. It will be more tasty and delicious if you put cream or milk. Its more likely taste as cocoa but its way more delicious for me.

My tongue doesn't recover quickly. It takes me 1 week before it heals completely. It was very uncomfortable especially when eating. Yes me too, there is one brand that I really like, like when you mix it with chocolate, cocoa or coffee it really taste good.

That's sad. I guess yours was much hotter than mine. If mine had been boiling hot, I would have taken longer to heal. The sensation of a burned tongue is weird and unpleasant.

Yes, that's true. After that incident happened, I always mix my hot water with a little bit cold water as I don't want to happen it again. Yeah, same here. I always look for an original flavor or regular flavor. I don't know why but maybe its just that its way more delicious when you mix it with milk than of those instant flavored coffee, cocoa or something. It's more tastier.

Yeah. Better to do it that way. So that we can avoid burning our mouths with hot drinks.

I think so too. My favorite flavor right now French Vanilla. It tastes and smells so good. Others seem to enjoy Coffee Mate's coconut flavor as well.

Yeah. I love vanilla flavor. Whenever we buy some shake or something hot to drink, It's either I choose chocolate or vanilla than any other flavor. I can't stand the taste of coconut.

That's funny. I wonder why others love coconut flavor. Maybe it's because of its sweet taste and scent.

Vanilla is like the first flavor to come to our minds when we think of desserts. Like vanilla ice cream. It's considered the basic flavor of sweet stuff.

I think so too. Well, vanilla is really the most basic flavor for sweets and desserts.

This is one of my favorite traditional food in the Philippines, the rice cake or puto, I remember when there was a "pa dasal" or need to pray the dead, something like that. LOL, my grandmother used to cook this with sotanghon, and this is the good combination for me.

It depends on the weather. When it is rainy and cool, I like soup..if it is a warm day, I don't really eat anything different than I eat any other day. For me, it really depends on the temperature outside what I will eat and enjoy.

Soups such as our local Okro soup is really nice to take whenever it is rainy since it is going to help one feel warm as enough spice is used for the soup. So, I agree with you that soup is really nice when we talk of cold weather as well.

Well, I live on a tropical country, so usually rainy days are not cool indeed. Based on that, the only issue with rainy days is to deal with staying indoors at your job, school, or home. But, you can see people like to eat sweet or salty snacks, specially if you have to share them with friends or colleagues. In case we have a cold day, you can see us having hot coffee, tea, or cocoa. And I would add some home made cookies or cake too.

Rainy days can be a bit depressing so it is usually good to have something to eat that might lift our spirits. I sometimes like to bake something if it is cool enough to do so. It can make the day go past faster.

True, that's why I always have snacks at home. Sometimes I just cook my own snacks, and that's even healthier. My sister and I, enjoy eating popcorn and watch a movie while the rain keep us at home, and if the electricity goes down we just play Jenga or Uno cards. We also eat crackers with a home made dip, like cream cheese/onion or sweet and sour pepper dip.

Agree. Honestly, once you're used to Internet, TV, video games, you can feel lost and bored when the power goes out. But, we grew in the 80's, when board games where the best option while raining, so we always have those that come in handy. A quick cheese/onion/mayo dip, some crackers, and board games, can fix boring for a while.

Me too. It's a struggle with people living in the modern age. Actually, a more effective means of passing time would be games like Dungeons and Dragons.

We also stay indoors when it is rainy and prefer to have the snacks delivered if possible. If there aren't any available fast food delivery, we go to the nearest convenience stores to buy the typical snack. Some chips and soda are what we usually buy and we have a movie marathon while eating.

Besides movie marathon, we can also do some laundry meanwhile, and we keep our clothes clean while the rain keep us in the house.

"...it doesn't matter if it is hot or cold, sunny or rainy..."

You know this is one thing that I never quite understood. A lot of people feel like they are obligated to eat certain foods at certain times, depending on the season or weather in general. I remember wanting to eat ice cream in the wintertime, and my parents would say, "Ice cream? When it's below freezing outside?! Why would you want ice cream?" Um, why not? Just because it's cold doesn't mean you can't eat ice cream. It's like saying you can't drink hot coffee/tea during the summer.

I think I eat less during the rainy season because it's colder and I get too lazy to go out (when I have nothing to do) so I just stay in bed, and because I'm using less energy, I also don't get hungry as much. Also, I love eating ice cream and I don't really feel like it during the rainy season.

“...I get too lazy to go out (when I have nothing to do) so I just stay in bed...”

Now that is a statement that I can relate to, all too well. I work from home, and I’m not a very social person, so I have basically no incentive to go outside unless it’s to buy food. Today it was raining, and while my appetite could’ve gone for some easy take-out today, my brain basically convinced myself “Eh, we’re not that hungry.” It’s been raining on and off every week for the past two months, so because I never know if I’ll want to go out for food, I’ve actually been eating healthier home cooking more often.

If it's cold and rainy outside I usually like soup - especially ramen! The noodles make it hearty and filling so it's the perfect cold weather dish. If it's warmer though and rainy outside, I tend to eat pretty normal stuff.

Soup's are my pick on rainy day's. Soup's are a very good in warming up during cold days. It is also delicious and nutritious at the same time so you will never go wrong with soups.

I personally prefer to eat something like say fried. Like fried fries, or chicken. Anything that gets me into spicy mood. So that's what I personally prefer. I do like to eat things that I make in this season. but not all the time I find the time. And rainy season has it's settings as well.

It's been raining quite a bit in my area, so I suppose this topic has been on my mind lately. I've found that on rainy days, I generally gravitate towards soups. Sometimes ramen soup, sometimes udon soup, sometimes egg drop or tomato soup. Just soups in general seem to be on my menu for those damp, rainy days.

Also, for some reason I feel more attracted to cakes and pies when it rains. Rainy weather feels cozy to me, so I find myself wanting to eat cozy, comfort food on those days.

I Just had dinner and it's Chicken Adobo with some Rice and Hot Instant Ramen Noodles, it was delicious, well I cooked it the way I was taught by my grandmother, the traditional way of cooking Adobo.

Here's my recipe, it's called Adobong Tagalog.

1 Chicken cut into 8-10 pieces.
2 Heads of garlic, crushed.
2 Pcs Bay Leaf or local Laurel.
1 teaspoon ground black pepper.
2 teaspoons salt.
2 chillies chopped.
1/2 Cup White Vinegar or any vinegar would do.
1/3 Cup Soy Sauce
1 Cup Oil
1 Cup Water

I love to make this dish because you just mix everything in a saucepan in medium low heat and let it simmer until water evaporates. It has lots of oil because it's best eaten after a day or two. It is a common dish made in olden days when there were no refrigerators yet and dishes were made to last several days.

It's super delicious with plain or fried rice or bread.

The foods I always crave during the Rainy season are Chicken, Beef, and Pork soup (Tinola) and some Noodle Dishes like Ramen and that Noodle Dish from Chowking which I forgot the name but it's really yummy. I actually love anything sour and hot during the rainy season and any soup is good except for Fish soup because I'm not fond of eating Fish soup. However, soups are never complete without rice so I always accompany my soup cravings with rice.

Exactly. Chicken tinola tastes different on the rainy season maybe because of the old weather. As much as i want to eat tinola, I really hate papaya and so I don't want any of it on my chicken tinola. Btw, the chicken I like the most for tinola is the native chicken. Although it's a little bit thinner than the chickens from the market, it tastes better because it's organic.

I really like the papaya in tinola but just only half cooked when you bite it, it's a little crunchy. My grandmother in our province used to do that, she always use the native chicken, the taste is really different to the normal chicken, even the soup.

I see. Papaya is truly crunchy when it's half cooked and most people like to eat it that way. And yes, native chicken tastes different and the soup it makes is very rich and tasty especially that elders in the province loves to add herbs and other natural ingredients to the soup in order to eliminate the smell, to make the soup richer, and to also make it somewhat like a protection for colds during the rainy season.

Yeah, of course, they will also cut it into small pieces or enough size, but the way they cooked it is really brutal, some of my friends call it, killing me softly. Using the stick, they will beat the live chicken all over the body until it's almost die or looks paralyzed.

It really makes me wanna lay down and sleep all day when the rain is pourin' outside. I'm thinking of a spicy chicken soup to make the evening hotter.

I tend to eat beef, lamb, chicken and fish. I keep away from the carbs because they are so tempting.When its cold you feel like having bread and butter. Just looking at it adds the pounds on!

I am from the Philippines. In a tropical country like mine, rainy season is not as cool as other countries. The temperature ranges from 20-29 degrees Celsius when it is raining.

Though it is not cool enough to feel comfortable, we Filipinos love eating hot and a bit spicy with the touch of sourness and sweetness. A bit weird isn't it? We have different soups that give a flavorful taste from, sour, sweet, salty and even bitter. Some of them are Bulalo, Papaitan, Sinigang, Nilaga. All of them can be added with fish sauce with cayenne pepper. Also, they are good with steaming hot rice!

I’m not really into Chinese food, but most probably I would go for Ramen. Other names are unknown for me or most probably I have tried them but not remember the names. My friends usually ask me to go to a Chinese restaurant, the thing which I would never do alone. They also tend to make Chinese dinners and invite me over. Some of the meals which they prepare are really spicy and salty. Once I ate something and on my skin started to appear red spots. I got so scared, but thanks God in 2 hours these spots disappeared. Probably, I should go for a food intolerance test and check on what ingredients I have allergy.
