Why is Philippine cuisine so.... umm... primitive?

[Jun aka Pekto]

If we look at the what we're eating thread, most of what I've seen with what forumers eat are those in establishments. I don't see home-cooked PH meals being mentioned that often.

Here, it's the opposite. Most Fil-Ams crave home-cooked PH dishes. You know they fight over those stinky dried fish? They have access to all the steaks, seafood, and poultry dishes the world can offer. Yet, they fight over dried fish from the PH.

Every time a Filipina returns from the PH, my wife and her friends wait in great anticipation.....for dried fish.
