National Food

Rama: Superhero ba si Jose Rizal?
Me: Hindi, di ba national hero?
Rama: Ano yung national hero?
Me: Siya yung pinakamagaling na hero. Yung, pag inisip mo ang mga hero ng Pilipinas, siya ang una mong maiisip.
Rama: Ah. Eh ano yung national ng mga celery, strawberries (stuff we were eating at the time of the exchange)
Me: Yung national fruit?
Rama: Oo!
Me: National fruit, mangga!
Rama: Gusto ko yun. Tapos, ang national food, sinigang?
Me: Pa'no mo alam?! (it's not adobo, right? Sinigang is THE indigenous dish?)

Let's revise our history books. Siningang is THE national dish; adobo flakes is second. Rama rules!

Hi leica! Yup, I thought so too myself. In fact, I have cooked adobo for a large audience and presented it as THE national dish. Until I worked on a sinigang mix account, and learned otherwise. :-)

Hi Marts! How's it going? True, Rama is a joy in These Trying Times.

Hey, Anonymous! Curious, did you just stumble upon this blog and find that you in fact knew the featured child?! Wow. I'm sure your little one will take to the water, eventually, as most kids do.
