Roscas (Filipino Cuisine)
In Philippine cuisine, ''roscas'' or ''biscocho de roscas'' refers to a pastry cookie product from the province of Leyte, mainly from the towns of Barugo and Carigara, made from lard, anise, flour, sugar, butter and eggs. Roscas are initially shaped as crescents or penannular rings (hence the name—''roscas'' is Spanish for "rings"). Each of the roscas is then cut in half before baking, resulting in two separate elbow-shaped cookies. While some claim that this pasalubong pastry cookie traces its history to the Spanish era, others have indicated that roscas-making in Leyte was started in the town of Barugo by a returning migrant in the late 1960s whose success was replicated in the nearby town of Carigara and the far town of Calbayog in Samar province. What original dish the roscas derive from remains unspecified, however. See also * Half-moon cookie * Biscocho * Rosquillo * List of Philippine desserts This is a list of Filipino desserts.

History Of The Philippines (1521–1898)
Earliest hominin activity in the Philippine archipelago is dated back to at least 709,000 years ago. ''Homo luzonensis'', a species of archaic humans, was present on the island of Luzon at least 67,000 years ago. The earliest known anatomically modern human was from Tabon Caves in Palawan dating about 47,000 years. Negrito groups were the first inhabitants to settle in the prehistoric Philippines. By around 3000 BC, seafaring Austronesians, who form the majority of the current population, migrated southward from Taiwan. Scholars generally believe that these ethnic and social groups eventually developed into various settlements or polities with varying degrees of economic specialization, social stratification, and political organization. Some of these settlements (mostly those located on major river deltas) achieved such a scale of social complexity that some scholars believe they should be considered early states. This includes the predecessors of modern-day population centers ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Culture Of Samar (province)
Culture () is an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior, institutions, and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, and habits of the individuals in these groups.Tylor, Edward. (1871). Primitive Culture. Vol 1. New York: J.P. Putnam's Son Culture is often originated from or attributed to a specific region or location. Humans acquire culture through the learning processes of enculturation and socialization, which is shown by the diversity of cultures across societies. A cultural norm codifies acceptable conduct in society; it serves as a guideline for behavior, dress, language, and demeanor in a situation, which serves as a template for expectations in a social group. Accepting only a monoculture in a social group can bear risks, just as a single species can wither in the face of environmental change, for lack of functional responses to the change.

Bread Dishes
Bread is a staple food prepared from a dough of flour (usually wheat) and water, usually by baking. Throughout recorded history and around the world, it has been an important part of many cultures' diet. It is one of the oldest human-made foods, having been of significance since the dawn of agriculture, and plays an essential role in both religious rituals and secular culture. Bread may be leavened by naturally occurring microbes (e.g. sourdough), chemicals (e.g. baking soda), industrially produced yeast, or high-pressure aeration, which creates the gas bubbles that fluff up bread. In many countries, commercial bread often contains additives to improve flavor, texture, color, shelf life, nutrition, and ease of production. History Bread is one of the oldest prepared foods. Evidence from 30,000 years ago in Europe and Australia revealed starch residue on rocks used for pounding plants. It is possible that during this time, starch extract from the roots of plants, such as catt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rosquillo
''Rosquillos'' are Philippine cookies made from flour, eggs, shortening, sugar, and baking powder. They were originally created by Margarita “Titay” T. Frasco in 1907 in Liloan, Cebu. The name means "ringlet" in Spanish (from ''rosca'', "ring") and was reputedly coined by Philippine President Sergio Osmeña. Despite sharing the name, Philippine ''rosquillos'' are not related to the Spanish ''rosquillos'' (better known as ''rosquillas'', ''roscos'', or ''rosquillos de vino''), which are more akin to baked doughnuts. There are two notable variants of ''rosquillos'', differing in shape. The first is ''galletas del Carmen'', which is flower-shaped and does not have a hole in the center. The other is ''galletas de bato'' (lit. " stone illcracker"), which has a hole in the center but does not have a crenelated edge.

Biscocho
''Biscocho'', also spelled ''biskotso'' (from ), refers to various types of Filipino twice-baked breads, usually coated with butter and sugar, or garlic in some cases. ''Biscocho'' is most strongly associated with the versions from the province of Iloilo, although it actually exists nationwide in various forms. It is also known as ''biscocho duro'', ''machacao'', or ''matsakaw''. It is also historically known as ''pan de caña'' (literally " ugarane bread").
