My culinary 'gusto' is basically Mexican, and tropical Mexican at that. I
love a Mango de Manila, thrive on avocados and corn based anything. But I
also have great admiration for some 'Filipino' goodies.

Back when I had my own machine shop I let my secretary, a Filipina, lead the
company July 4 party. We got a pig, shoved a shaft up it's you know what,
put the shaft on uprights, built a good fire and while my foreman and I
sipped tuba and beer during the night, took turns turning the shaft (and the
pig) until dawn's early light. The ladies went to work making poi, rice,
other goodies too many to mention since a Filipino day of eating consists of
at least 20 dishes including the roast pig.

Now that I'm in Chula Vista, otherwise known as Chula Juana for our Siamese
joining with Tijuana, I still hanker for a good mango de Manila...
