INFOGRAPHIC: Pinoy food combinations

Filipinos have quite a few quirks when it comes to food. One is our habit of using our bare hands to eat. And somehow, there always has to be rice – or it’s not a meal at all.

Another Filipino eating habit is to put together food that are believed to complement each other, bringing dining experience to a whole new level.

But according to anthropologist Dr. Gonzalo Campoamor, combining food is not a unique Filipino habit. “Lahat ng bansa, saan ka man pumunta, mayroong weird [food] combinations ‘yan,” he said.

We may not be the only people in the world who combine food in a weird (and yummy!) way, but most of the food combinations we have will surely satisfy anybody’s taste buds!—CM, GMA News
