Food in the Philippines

I don't know where to begin!  Food is a HUGE part of the Filipino culture along with hospitality.  Filipinos are very generous so at just about every gathering, whether it be with a principal, a family, or group of teachers, we were offered food.  Many of the foods were familiar from pork to chicken to delicious fruit.  In other cases the foods were exotic:  fertilized duck eggs, chicken feet, frogs, and parts of cow I would never have thought to cook.  Surprisingly, many of the fruits and vegetables are ones we have never tasted before.  My absolute favorite...MANGO and ofcourse pancit, a noodle dish that varies in toppings. 

Shoutout to Jacie O., Jacob M., Brady, Brandon, Hannah, Rachel T., Andral, Rachel L., Cassie, Ryan, Lucas:   Filipinos eat a wide variety of foods.  Pork and chicken are two of the most common meats.  Plantains are also very popular.
