Food for Lent

[badkuk]

Care to share any house specialities for Lent?

Usually we just whip up baked tuna carbonara or lumpia. Am planning to do a fish curry next week. For meryenda fried banana or guinataan.

No special food really. It's only on Good Friday that we refrain from eating meat.

Currently my obsession is tawilis, I have that almost daily for dinner. Just rub it with salt and fry it until it is super crispy. I eat it either with

- salted eggs + tomato
- monggo
- tomato + onion + cilantro
- gatang kalabasa at sitaw

It's just the veggie where I have variety

I really like Mesa's tinapa rolls. Don't know how to make em though. For snacks we make do with nuts and sinkamas. Although turon and ginataan are also staples.

I didnt know about this no meat days. I was served monggo with tinapa and fried bangus. I wouldve prefered a calamansi marinated fried pork chop though 😁

It's supposed to be no meat on Friday's starting Ash Wednesday. I only do Good Friday

Somehow these "specialties" for Lent seems to defeat the purpose of the season.

We usually skip a meal or two, but I get the point. If it were me I'd just let my uncle cook. Now that would be a sacrifice. 😆
