My wife likes to cook Filipino food, and will often have a big pot of rice available and noodles every day. Sometimes we have Filipino parties when all sorts of wierd dishes get prepared by armies of chattering girls! However she also has enjoyed learning how to prepare British dishes and enjoys them too. She loves a "sunday roast" and pies. She is a good cook and has obtained her food hygiene certificate so can now work in catering, if she chose to. In fact she deputises for the cook in my business when she goes off on holiday and then obviously only prepares very traditional British dishes, although she has been known to vary it a little. Onions in an apple pie once if I recall! For myself I don't really enjoy many of the Filipino dishes. Too little "real" meat, too much fat, too many bones, not enough salt or pepper. I enjoy the ginger in some dishes. Don't get me on dried fish though. That's the devils food for sure, only someone really evil could find that smell attractive.
