A thread to discuss what is eaten in different cultures over the various holidays.  And since we do not all celebrate the same holidays, a discussion of what the
holiday means would be worthwhile as well.

We ukse it to discribe food and customs and further our ability to make good sentences and communicate, besides making each other hungry.

In terms of culinary recognition, the Philippines is incomparably different from its neighboring countries. Its cooking techniques are combinations of European subtleness and Asian spices derived basically from how locals improvized their native dishes to blend with foreign concoctions. Filipinos’ favorite obsession is eating. They eat five times a day with rice as staple along with in-between sweet snacks. Gatherings and parties will not be completed without the presence of food. May it be dining at home or out in a party, Filipinos top the table with all the dishes they can provide. They socialize, but aim basically to satisfy their taste buds.

You can visit this site for some information about our dishes.

Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it, and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work—and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.

What is wrong with links? They are delicious with a short stack, maple syrup and over easy eggs. Turns any day into a holiday.
