Typical American Food I Still Have to Love

http://www.viralnova.com/food-haters/

I have to agree with this list except for: 

  • bacon, just bacon, not the eggs, ha ha ha
  • meatloaf, not served in diners but my version.  Obviously, wrapped with bacon
  • rich chocolates
For #7, I have to include spray whipped cream as one of my hates too.

Longga-balls Pork Meatballs

Main or Appetizer

Longganiza is the Philippine's version of sausages.  Each region or province has its own version.  Salty spiced ones from Lucban, Baguio's sourish plump ones, slightly sweet ones from Central Luzon, etc etc etc.  Longganiza is not only served for breakfast but other times of the day too. I remember lots of classmates who brought longganiza for their packed lunch. Just as long as there's rice, fried garlicky rice even, longganiza is good to go.

I found the original recipe in page 89 of Food Magazine's Step-by-Step Cookbook (2002, first edition) given by my SIL, +Anne Bautista.  Actually, looking through my collection of recipe books, I have noticed that Anne and my mother-in-law, have given me quite a number since I got married.  I totally understand their concern :D  They were aware that their then new daughter-in-law wasn't really a kitchen mainstay.
