lalot, apparently, Pigafetta’s chronicle of Magellan’s and crew meals on the island of Cebu included millet or a similar grain, so yes, I think it was an early ingredient. Well before corn. And rice was probably brought from elsewhere…

i heard (rather, did i rightly hear?) that millet was the staple of early cebuanos.the explanation is, cebu is a dry island. no vast wet, arable lands for rice. anyway, would you know where i could find these seeds or seedlings? maybe it would be the solution for rice shortages. i tasted bubdbod kabug in bogo, cebu because it is their delicacy. tastes good with milled corn.

Warning about lye water or lihiya.
This is a poison. Do not use it or eat it.
Please be informed about this ingredient before you consume it. I do not believe people really know what it is.
Find an alternative.
