Food in the Philippines

Many people have asked what we eat here so we decided to let everyone know some of things that we eat. First most Filipinos eat a lot of rice. It is like the American potato. They eat it every meal even breakfast. We have not grown accustomed to that practice yet but we definitely eat it a lot more than we every did in the states. They also eat a lot of fried chicken so we have been eating more of that than ever before. McDonald's even has fried chicken meals as value meals. Filipinos also eat a lot of spaghetti BUT it is very different than American spaghetti. It is much sweeter and then sometimes they put their type of hotdogs in it. McDonald's also has spaghetti meals and spaghetti and chicken meals.

One thing we also eat more of is a lot of vegetables. Good fresh vegetables are much cheaper here and make a very good meal with rice. We have been eating a lot of stir-fry or steamed vegetables. We eat tacos although it is a little different from home. We have to buy tortilla shells from someone who makes them because you can rarely buy them in the grocery and if you can they are expensive. The other thing is that hamburger is more expensive here too but we still eat pretty often because who wants chicken all the time. You can actually get a lot of things that are available in the states here it is just sometimes it is much more expensive. So please don't worry we or I guess I should say I eat just fine here.
