Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Spanish and Americans
You think the Japanese could've prolonged their occupation?. Heck they got nuked twice. no country in their right mind would do so. They pulled out asap once they surrendered. Though the Philippines wouldn't be under the Marshall plan I would say wed end up communist. Bet the Soviet Union would make its move like on North Korea. But remember the US had existing interests in the PI and they didn't want communism to spread around Asia.

What are the most popular "Aguas frescas" flavors.
Our chorizo is quite different from the Spanish chorizo, ours are way smaller. We use Spanish chorizo, we call it " Chorizo de Bilbao" in Filipino in Calderetas and some Spanish influenced foods.
How does Mexican chorizo look like and do they really taste the same as the Spanish chorizo ?

Mexican Chorizo is fresh, but needs to cocked before you eat it.
Since we have all of the chili peppers the combination of them on the chorizo and longaniza are different from the ones in Spain or Europe(they never got into chili eating).
For some reason Europeans like their sausages old and with a funny white looks on the out side.


Our most popular aguas frescas on this side are: Tamarindo, Jamaica and Orchata(Rice).
I love anything with tamarindo, specially agua fresca!

Then you don't know about Philippine history then. I am Filipino. But I don't remember the Japanese occupation being taught in history classes in my country.

It just came to my attention how badly actually barbaric is more apt term those Hapons maltreated my countrymen. I am talking sex slavery, even men. Because some Filipino movies were made about it.

So no. I don't agree with your comment.

Chorizo is delicious!


Agua de Jamaica is also awesome. I am not a big fan of Orchada. But it is indeed refreshing.

I like our similarities. I like the boxing culture that both nations share. I respect the filipinos ans the Philippines.

I think its great to have a ally in the East . The filipinos that i have encountered have been great.

How about this ones? we call the Cirguelas.
We have Cirguelas but not yellow. When they are ripe, they are reddish orange. I like eating them with a little salt.

I like our similarities as well. Yup, most of the time when Filipinos have a boxing fight, it's always againts Mexicans or sometimes Cubans.

I also think it would be nice if the Philippines would restore long lost friendship and sisterhood with Mexico and also with other Latin American cousins. It would be cool for an Asian country to have kinship with Latin America, just like how it was 100 years ago.

Filipino chorizos are also fresh and need to be cooked as well. We usually have them for breakfast with estrellado. We do not use it in stews. For stews like Caldereta and Callos, we use the Spanish chorizo " Chorizo de Bilbao ".
I would love to try Mexican chorizo someday. I love spicy food.

I am surprised you do tamarind drink. We love tamarindo too but mostly for soups. We love sour soup.
I wonder why no one has thought of doing tamarind drink in the Philippines.

I love arroz con leche, I always have that before in Portugal but we do not have that in the Philippines, don't know why when it is present in all hispanic countries.
What we have is arroz con chocolate we call it Champorado. I know in Mexico it's with corn but they say the Filipinos had to use what was more abundant in the Philippines and it is rice.
