Tocino

[lastlid]

We were in our local Asian shop today and we found they had Tocino in the freezer compartment. So it will be Tosilog for breakfast tomorrow. First time I have seen it here in the Britain.

The other week we found they had Tender Juicy red hotdogs.

So we came away with Tocino, White King Pancake Waffle mix, Ligo sardines and Pancit Canton Kalamansi, to keep the Mrs happy. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Now you're becoming pinoy :rolleyes:

I'm lucky in that my wife loves Japanese foods and knows how to prepare them. :xxgrinning--00xx3:
She also loves roast beef with yorkshire pudding and gravy.

Unfortunately Mrs Lastlid is a very fussy eater :icon_lol:. But she does seem to like yorkshire pudding.

ditto. Had sushi onboard last night actually. The lads have been catching tuna off the side of the ship, very nice!!

My wife did some homemade Tocino last time I was home thinking about it, sure you could get the receipe off the net.

Saying that she had some dried fish the other day and told me it tasted like plastic. How long have you had it I asked her? TWO YEARS was the answer!!!!!! I ask you. She thought it would be alright as it was dried and kept in the fridge!!!! In the bin

There's so much more to Japanese food than raw fish :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I wonder if it improves with age?

Yes. Probably ignorance on my part.

Just had the Tocino. It is labelled up as Tocino Pork then in brackets (Chasui Pork) and packaged in North West London. My wife says it isn't pampangas best. I noticed it was a lighter colour and not sweet like I had in the Philippines.

Just discovered a recipe for it, Pinoy style.

aww good for you Lastid..Tocino is Adam's favourite when he visited me in the Phils, like his day is not complete without eating one..lol.. but we couldn't find any Tocino or similar to tocino here in Ramsgate.. too bad...

Yes, it was a favourite of mine. I had some most days for breakfast when I was in the Philippines last year. I think Mrs Lastlid might end up making some as there are some recipes on the internet, Tocino chicken too.

The phone number on the packet for the UK Tocino is:

44 (0)20 8963 0405

But like I say, it wasnt sweet like I recall the Tocino was in the Philippines.

The tocino's on shop were full of food colouring with little quality. Unfortunately, many people have no alternative.

I did wonder about the food colouring.....

[Terpe]

I'm not a fan of Tocino. To the extent I will avoid it.
Despite my wife telling me how wonderful it is for breakfast :D

Now a good quality British Sausage or Black Pudding :hubbahubba::hubbahubba:
Luverly hehe :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I tried to introduce my wife to black pudding as I thought she might like it....but :NoNo:

[lastlid]

I did wonder about the food colouring.....

And the more I think about it, the more I think cochineal :omg:

Lastlid

This was Robinsons yes?

[lastlid]

Lastlid

This was Robinsons yes?

Yes. In the freezer compartment. I saw some there last week, also.

Makes me laugh, Robinsons....sounds like the Filipino malls.

[malditako]

love tocino but without this colouring. I like it with tomato ...yummy!!!

[gWaPito]

Tocino...gotta be the closest thing to eating human flesh.....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!.....I find it repulsive in the least.

Just my unbiased opinion :D

Happy weekend everybody :D

:D Why, exactly, do you say that?

[gWaPito]

:D Why, exactly, do you say that?

You gotta be having a laugh asking me that:icon_lol: The fact is its nearly all flesh..next to no lean meat...the only thing that makes it for most who eat the stuff is the stuff its soaked in....you could do that with anything....I bet you won't be seeing it in Marco P White's restaurant. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Haven't you just described the content of a good old British sausage? :D

The difference being ''the good old British sausage'' doesn't make me gag.

You wanna experience what mass killer Neilson went through munching his way through a raft of rent boys...sample some tocino ...you know it make sense :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Ah. But have you tried Pampangas Best?

[gWaPito]

Ah. But have you tried Pampangas Best?

The best huh :NoNo:...I didn't realize there were various degrees of flesh....or is it soaked in nectar fit for the Gods :rolleyes:

Honestly Lastlid, when my wife has cooked it in the past, and ive just got home my first reaction was to go check on the babies, the smell being that bad.

Interesting. I quite enjoyed it when I was in the Philippines. It came across as no different to some of the food we eat in the UK. But the cochineal puts me off. The Tocino we bought locally here wasn't so good, I admit....

By the way, with reference to your post above, if you eat any meat, then you eat flesh....
