Cuisine Of The Philippines
Filipino cuisine ( fil, lutong Pilipino/pagkaing Pilipino) is composed of the cuisines of more than a hundred distinct ethnolinguistic groups found throughout the Philippine archipelago. A majority of mainstream Filipino dishes that compose Filipino cuisine are from the food traditions of various ethnolinguistic groups and tribes of the archipelago, including the Ilocano, Pangasinan, Kapampangan, Tagalog, Bicolano, Visayan, Chavacano and Maranao ethnolinguistic groups. The styles of preparation and dishes associated with them have evolved over many centuries from a largely indigenous (largely Austronesian) base shared with maritime Southeast Asia with varied influences from Chinese, Spanish and American cuisines, in line with the major waves of influence that had enriched the cultures of the archipelago, as well as others adapted to indigenous ingredients and the local palate.

Christmas In The Philippines

The Philippines, one of the two predominantly Catholic countries in Asia (the other one being East Timor), celebrates the world's longest Christmas season ( fil, Kapaskuhan, link=no).

Chocolate Liquor
Chocolate liquor (cocoa liquor) is pure cocoa mass (cocoa paste) in solid or semi-solid form. Like the cocoa beans (nibs) from which it is produced, it contains both cocoa solids and cocoa butter in roughly equal proportion. It is produced from cocoa beans that have been fermented, dried, roasted, and separated from their skins. The beans are ground into cocoa mass (cocoa paste). The mass is melted to become the liquor, and the liquor is either separated into cocoa solids and cocoa butter, or cooled and molded into blocks of raw chocolate. Its main use (often with additional cocoa butter) is in making chocolate. The name ''liquor'' is used not in the sense of a distilled, alcoholic substance, but rather the older meaning of the word, meaning 'liquid' or 'fluid'. Chocolate liquor contains roughly 53 percent cocoa butter (fat), about 17 percent carbohydrates, 11 percent protein, 6 percent tannins, and 1.5 percent theobromine.Wolke, Robert L. (2005).

Tablilla
Tablillas was a Medieval Spanish technique of torture for slowly squeezing and crushing the toes and fingers by means of pillories and wedges. Description and procedure The tablillas was an auxiliary torture used to increase the effectiveness of other tortures that could be applied while the prisoner was bound to the rack and stretched to the point where his fingers and toes were tense. The tabllilas per se were a set of four small pillories, one for each foot and hand, each equipped with five narrow holes. The prisoner's toes and fingers were forced into the holes, after which thin wedges were introduced into the holes from the opposite direction. Slowly hammering each wedge into its hole bit by bit cruelly squeezed the entrapped toe or finger with increasing pressure until its tiny bones were shattered. The ponderous style of the only writer to comment in detail on the torture of the tablillas may be paraphrased as follows: "The torture of the tablillas is rarely given, the su ...
