My Food Preferences

Hello dear friends! How was your Holy Week? Did you have some sacred recollections about your life and the choices you have made or will make ? Whatever it was, I hope that it was life changing. The Holy Week is celebrated by most Catholics around the world as a commemoration of the sacred sacrifice by Christ two millennia ago. I am not a Catholic but we also commemorate the sacred Atoning Sacrifice, but we do it every week on Sundays during our sacrament meeting and not just on a specific season. But we honor this season too as a respect to our brothers and sisters from the different sects.

Since this week we have no work due to the Lenten Season, I spent most of my time doing the laundry and cleaning the house aside from the personal recollections that I do too. The chores are just light because I just had a molar tooth extracted five days ago. Speaking of which, I actually wrote an article about my escapade on that day. You can check it out by clicking on it below.

Dentist Appointment Amidst the Storm

I have been browsing through some articles here in read.cash and I saw one that caught my attention, its the "This or That Food Edition". And since I love food, I have decided to jump in on that trend and write my own version of the This or That Food Edition. Come on in and let's get the ball rolling.

Rice

Or Bread

As a Filipino, rice is a staple here in our country and for that reason, I would choose rice over bread. Why because its cheaper and easier to make than bread. You can pair it with any viands because its taste is compatible with anything, may it be sweet, sour, bitter or just right. But I like bread too because its so tasty and it can also come in many different flavors and it can be paired with milk or hot chocolate. The thing is, you cannot just make it at home without an oven or without flavorings or additional ingredients unlike rice where you just add water and then that's it. When I was little I knew so liitle about rice and yhe many varietes of it because we depended largely on corn since my grandparents on bith sides had farms where they grew it abundantly. Also, corn was cheaper than rice too that time. I can still remember when I was young that we can only eat rice when my Father gets a good pay from his job. Now that I am an adult, and I usually do the groceries, I realized that there are many kinds of rice grains, like Sinandomeng, Jasmin and Denorado and many more. I never thought they could come in many names and kinds And the taste are different too. Hahaha. I didn't knew. But yeah, sorry for making it a bit long, it's rice over bread for me.

Pasta

Or Pizza

Oh my, of course its pizza!! Because I really love it! So when asked which one between the two, the first of course. I love thin pizza crust that are so crunchy and yummy but I also love those cheese-filled dough that are so fluffy and tasty. We had this pizza parlor near our place that sells some yummy Hawaiian flavored stuffs and it is a love at first bite kind of thing. Ever since we had a taste of it, we come back for more whenever we crave that Hawaiian flavored pizzas!

Sweet

Or Spicy

I choose sweet over spicy because I have low tolerance over spicy foods. I feel like I am hoing to die whenever I eat too much red hot peppery stuffs! My husband would always remind me of how I love sweets, which I think is the reason why I struggle with losing some pounds. I am fond of cakes, desserts and the like and it is often one of the things that I look forward to when there are parties and celebrations. Sometimes I even bring home some, especially if the host is a close friend. Hahaha.

Bitter

Or Sour

Sour for me is better over bitter foods but I do eat "ampalaya" or in English they call it bitter gourd still. That I think is the only bitter vegetable that I eat. Now, in terms of soury tastes, I have a ton of favourites in that flavor like, lemon, tomatoes, green mango, vinegars and many more. My face would go wacky whenever I eat fruits and foods in that flavor but I am fine with that because it is more tolerable than the bitter ones. I even heard there is this meat dish that is called "papaitan" , and its a bit bitter because the vile is cooked with it. When I heard that I cant imagine eating that with a happy face. Hahahaha. I cant even imagine how it taste like. Sounds weird to me. I forgot what meat is used in the "papaitan" dish, I think it is familiar in the Northern part of our country.

Fruits

Or Veggies

Fruits of course! Because most of them are already edible and delicious even though you haven't cooked them yet. With vegetables you have to cook most of its kind first, though there are still some that can be eaten raw like in a salad. Fruits are so convenient too. Some you can just hold when you are busy doing some other things. You can eat most of them readily, no cooking needed. Right?! I am sure you guys would agree with me on that.

There you have it dear folks! Its my very own version of the This or That Food Edition. You can hop in the fun to and make your own version of this one. Enjoy!!
