Th MR> for sharing them with me. Most people pass on the pigs blood. Try it sometime though. If your palate is onto the more exotic forms of cuisine, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. MR> I have already formatted your recipes into Meal-Master format, but MR> before I post them onto the Cooking Echo, I would like to impose o MR> a little bit more for some clarification about ingredients and som MR> background on Filipino cuisine.

It’s not unusual for a typical Filipino meal to have several main dishes served together at one sitting. That’s much the same as a Chin table where a variety of courses help to spread the palate around.
