Episode Description
Hello!
An archipelago of more than 7000 islands. Tribes with more than 200 native languages and a population of 112 million people.
Philippines is a rich ground to discover some amazing ingredients, some delicious food and ancient indigenous recipes!
On this episode I'm relatively quickly touching some of the rarest and fast disappearing native ingredients. The losses are due to industrial products being cheaper and imports of cheap ingredients but also an uncertain climate.
Here's the ones I'm touching on this episode:
- Alingo, Besaang, Buttog aka The Cordillera Native Black pig
- Darag Chicken of Panay Island
- Gumamela leaves
- Inartem Balayang (Pickled Wild Banana)
- Kaong vinegar
- Asin tibuok sa Albur unbroken salt
- Budbud or Bamboo Salt
- Tultul Artisanal Sea Salt
How the unbroken salt is made:
