Pampanga
Pampanga, officially the Province of Pampanga ( pam, Lalawigan ning Pampanga; tl, Lalawigan ng Pampanga ), is a province in the Central Luzon region of the Philippines. Lying on the northern shore of Manila Bay, Pampanga is bordered by Tarlac to the north, Nueva Ecija to the northeast, Bulacan to the east, the Manila Bay to the central-south, Bataan to the southwest and Zambales to the west. Its capital is the City of San Fernando. Angeles City is the largest LGU but while geographically within Pampanga, it is classified as a first-class, highly urbanized city and has been governed independently of the province since it received its charter in 1964.

Its creation in 1571 makes it the first Spanish province on Luzon Island (Cebu in Visayas is older as it was founded by the Spaniards in 1565). The town of Villa de Bacolor in the province bri ...

Filipino Cuisine
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.

Dinakdakan
Dinakdakan, also known as warek-warek, is a Filipino dish consisting of various pork head parts, red onions, siling haba or siling labuyo chilis, ginger, black peppercorns, calamansi juice, and bay leaves. The pork parts are first boiled in the aromatics for an hour or so until tender, and then further grilled until lightly charred. They are chopped into small pieces and served in a creamy sauce traditionally made from mashed cooked pig's brain, though this is commonly substituted with mayonnaise. The pork parts used commonly include pork jowls (''maskara''), pork collar, and ears. Sometimes pork tongue, liver, stomach, and intestines are also included. Dinakdakan is most commonly served as ''pulutan'', appetizers that are eaten with beer or other alcoholic drinks. But it can also be eaten with rice. Dinakdakan is very similar to the sisig of Kapampangan cuisine, except that it is not as finely chopped and is always served with in a sauce made from mashed brain or mayonnaise. ...

Kapampangan Cuisine
Kapampangan cuisine ( pam, Lútûng Kapampángan) differed noticeably from that of other groups in the Philippines. The Kapampangan kitchen is the biggest and widely used room in the traditional Kapampangan household. When the Philippines was under Spanish rule, Spanish friars and sailors taught Kapampangans the basics of Spanish cooking. The Kapampangans were able to produce a unique blend that surprised the Spanish palate. Soon Spanish friars and government officials were entertaining foreign guests at the expense of Kapampangan households. In the late 18th century, the Arnedo clan of Apalit were commissioned by the colonial government to entertain foreign dignitaries that included a Cambodian prince and a Russian archduke. Kapampangans were given the task of creating the meal and menu that was served in the proclamation of the First Philippine Republic in Malolos, Bulacan. Some popular Kapampangan dishes that have won over the Filipino palate across the country include its ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kilawin
''Kinilaw'' ( or , literally "eaten raw") is a raw seafood dish and preparation method native to the Philippines. It is also referred to as Philippine ceviche due to its similarity to the Latin American dish ceviche. It is more accurately a cooking process that relies on vinegar and acidic fruit juices (usually citrus) to denature the ingredients, rather than a dish, as it can also be used to prepare meat and vegetables. ''Kinilaw'' dishes are usually eaten as appetizers before a meal, or as finger food ( tl, pulutan) with alcoholic drinks. ''Kilawin'' is a meat-based preparation method quite similar but not the same as ''kinilaw'', though the names can sometimes be used interchangeably. It is more common in the northern Philippines and uses blanched and lightly grilled meat (not raw). Description The most common ''kinilaw'' dish is ''kinilaw na isda'' ("fish ''kinilaw''") prepared using raw cubed fish mixed with vinegar (usually coconut vinegar or cane vinegar) as t ...

Mushroom Sisig
A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil, or on its food source. ''Toadstool'' generally denotes one poisonous to humans. The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, ''Agaricus bisporus''; hence the word "mushroom" is most often applied to those fungi ( Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem ( stipe), a cap ( pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap. "Mushroom" also describes a variety of other gilled fungi, with or without stems, therefore the term is used to describe the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota. These gills produce microscopic spores that help the fungus spread across the ground or its occupant surface. Forms deviating from the standard morphology usually have more specific names, such as "bolete", "puffball", "stinkhorn", and " morel", and gilled mushrooms themselves are often called "agarics" in refer ...

Augustinians
Augustinians are members of Christian religious orders that follow the Rule of Saint Augustine, written in about 400 AD by Augustine of Hippo. There are two distinct types of Augustinians in Catholic religious orders dating back to the 12th–13th centuries: * Various congregations of Canons Regular also follow the Rule of Saint Augustine, embrace the evangelical counsels and lead a semi-monastic life, while remaining committed to pastoral care appropriate to their primary vocation as priests.
