Summary
The love language of the Filipinos is food. “Kain tayo” - let’s eat - is almost always the follow up to hello. Food for us is kinship, and is always meant to be shared. After decades of being under the radar, Filipino cuisine - sweet, sour, saucy, spicy, tart, crunchy, slurpy and for some foreigners, perhaps mystifyingly exotic - is finally getting international recognition. Food historians and culinary book editor Ige Ramos and chef and founder of the Philippine Culinary Heritage Movement Jam Melchior flip the tables with us on the Philippine palate and talk about how halo-halo we are in food and identity, how our incredibly rich but little-known indigenous cuisine is also tickling discerning tastebuds, and how Pinoy sweet spaghetti with hotdogs is taking over the world.
