Hey fellow adventures! Normally I would write a post about a full meal I’ve prepared and the rules of etiquette of dining in that country. However, a combination of being out of town and Thanksgiving taking place this week means that I’ve had no time to make said meal. I’m sorry about that. However, I still think it’s important to learn the dining etiquette of other cultures, so I’ll still talk about that this post as promised.
When arriving at someone’s house, as with all the other cultures I’ve written about, it’s rude to arrive early. Unlike most of the other cultures though, it’s rude to arrive late. Especially if it’s a small gathering. Most of the time, the silverware offered will be a fork and spoon. This might come as a surprise to us US Americans who are accustomed to using a fork and knife for most meals. Never use your left hand to eat or pass food with. Don’t even put your left hand on the table since it’s considered unclean. For some dishes (such as Chinese), they will use chopsticks. In some areas people will eat without any utensils. In the Philippines, there’s a tradition called boodle fight where people gather around a table filled with food spread out on banana leaves. It’s meant to be eaten with your hands without utensils or plates.
Never refer to a female as “hostess.” In the Philippines, a hostess is an explicit female entertainer. If the one hosting is older than you, you can call them “Kuya” (older brother) or “Ate” (older sister). If their younger, you can use their name. Burping is not discouraged but it’s rude to burp without covering your mouth. Seconds will most likely be pushed on you unless you still have food on your plate. When eating, pay attention to your neighbor’s cup. You’re not allowed to pour your own drink, so your neighbor must be attentive to whether you need more drink. This applies to both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Don’t leave the table until everyone has finished eating. To do so is considered very rude. The one hosting might offer you packed up leftovers to go. Never refuse this. Even if you know you’ll never eat it, you must accept it.
Lime juice is apparently a popular drink in the Philippines, and I can see why. It’s very tasty. Reminds me of the lime juice my family used to make from our lime tree in our backyard. I could see myself buying this again.
Very tasty! Tasted similar to American corn puff cereal. I know “sweet” is in the name but it was much sweeter than I expected.
I bought these cause they looked interesting but I hated them! I ended up tossing them after only eating a few chips. There was no way I was going to finish these.
Yummmmm! I was not disappointed in these. I’m not saying these are a good replacement for Cheetos but still good. I loved the consistency but they could use a bit more cheese flavor.
I have never had anything like these before. Very interesting. It tastes like milk powder covered chips. I was surprised it tasted like milk, and even more surprised that I really liked it. This was my husband’s favorite chip.
I did not like these. At fist they taste like snack mix as I know it but soon after they develop a bad after taste. I don’t know why that happens but I am never buying these again.
I was expecting these to taste like American vegetable straws but they’re unexpectedly sweet. They’re not bad but I don’t think I’ll buy them again.
Well that’s it for this post! Thanks so much for reading my blog! Hope you’re having a good week! Until our next adventure!
