I took up MA in Linguistics at UP, and my professor said that when languages are being mapped out, the linguist can pinpoint the exact house where the language changes.

Dialects understand each other; languages don’t.

Ariel, you can get frozen ubod (heart of palm) from either Seafood City or Island Pacific if you are in the SF bay area. I think they may also be available at 99Ranch. They are in the freezer section and the brand name is by “Tropics” or “Tropical Islands”. They are julienned and frozen with water. You have to really thaw and drain them before cooking. You would probably need 4 to 5 packs of these to make lumpia for a family of 4.

Thanks bettyq!! I will find time to pass by Nepa Q. That is more acessible to me than Commonwealth which is at the end of the world for me. Hope to find some good ubod there too. Will look for those wrappers….I don’t want to make them…yikes…too tedious….Thanks so much….Wow…hope I can replicate your recipe Manang!

Tried the recipe using canned ubod, although not exactly the lumpia of my childhood, it is good to satisfy my craving. Had to eat it without the wrapper though….Thanks MM and Manangs, you made me one happy camper:)

At last “The Lumpia” we’ve all been waiting for. Thank you for being generous to all your readers. Thank you to Manang Laida and Manang Lilia. I still have to look for a fresh ubod in my part of the states. So for the meantime I would be using the canned version because I have a can in my cupboard. Thanks a lot.

MM, even though Cebuano and Ilonggo are very different, I’m sure that your knowledge of Bisaya, and even Tagalog, helped you tremendously. My bro-in-law is Ilonggo, and he was able to pick up pretty well when we were in Davao; whereas I was nearly completely clueless!
