Post #4 - January 24th, 2011, 7:44 pmI'd love to go. Some of my favorite Filiipino dishes include:
* Crispy pata - skin of pork leg. Simply to die for!
* Dinuguan - intestines in blood sauce. I love intestines but there is something about the blood sauce that makes them supple and minimizes their toughness.
* Mechado - not quite as exotic, but beef cooked in, according to what I'm told. pork fat-back, in what is a beef stew. According to Wikipedia, apparently the trend is to make it less fatty (too bad! Fat = Flavor)
* Spinach in coconut milk - I don't know the name of it but it was fantastic.
While we're on the topic, it's worth pointing out that Filipinos are thin, despite the perception of a "fatty" diet.

Ummm...pretty sure there are plenty of "non-thin" Filipinos, whether you're talking the Philippines, stateside or elsewhere. Plenty of all sizes. And in some cases, the diet is actually very high in fat. I'm not saying that's a bad thing at all, but I ate pork belly more than any other cut of meat as a kid (and lots of fried fish, fatty cuts of beef, etc.).

Post #6 - February 12th, 2011, 9:01 pmSince the original date for this event was during the recent blizzard aftermath (Feb 4th), we have rescheduled it for Friday, February 18th. Hope to see some fellow LTH'ers!
Please see the original post which has been updated with the new date.
