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

[Jun aka Pekto]

I believe it is. We mostly cook mussels that way. It's like Tinola but with shellfish instead of chicken.

I actually like mussel soup too. My wife cooks it more because PH (or Manila) clams aren't easy too find while mussels are in every supermarket.

Ah. Mussel. What does that remind you of?
