Eating Like A Horse


We dropped by some of my wife's relatives when we visited their village in the province. One of which we chanced upon having their dinner, and as customary to Filipinos, they invited us to join them. They were apologetic though about having nothing to offer than "ginataang gabi" or taro leaves in coconut cream and "tuyo" or dried salted fish. We dismissed the apologies and told them that in fact we missed eating such. We actually are too shy to admit that we do miss terribly having those for dinner. Or maybe it was bluntly evident afterwards when we realized we had each four serving of rice. I wouldn't think twice having them for lunch at work if they were available at McDonald's.
