I grew up in an era when Haagen Daz hadn't yet been invented by some enterprising American who made up some glitzy Scandinavian sounding name, so my ice cream options were limited to Magnolia Drumsticks that inevitably leaked through their soggy bottoms before you ate halfway down the cone, or, better yet, Pinipig Crunch. Pinipig Crunch was a vanilla ice cream core covered in chocolate with pinipig imbedded beneath. For the longest time, this was my vision of pinipig. Turns out that this was a bad representation of a truly wonderful local delicacy -- more puffed rice than real pinipig.]]> http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/pinipig-immature-rice-pounded-into-flakes/feed 8
