yeah , when my lola was still around we usually have guinisang munggo and fried fish on Fridays.And when I asked why, she said it was following the tradition of fasting on Good Friday—fasting one day(Fridays) a week for the whole year! But with MM’s version, surely we will be committing the sin of Gluttony instead! :)

hungrycurious,
your post made me laugh! :-) Matagal na akong naghahanap ng ice munggo. Yung condensed milk/Ricoa version mo ba ay frozen din?

@I Love Sta. Rosa, eating munggo on Friday has something to do with Holy Friday since we are not supposed to eat meat on that day and it is rich in protein—it makes sense! Thanks for the info.

Reading this post, bigla akong naghalungkat sa aming larder kung meron akong munggo; ubos na!!!! Kidney beans at chick peas na lang ang meron. Have to buy—MUST BUY—dahil mayroon akong maisasahog na chicharon dito. Madalas akong bumili ng ampalaya sa oriental store na malapit. Pero kung wala akong mabili ay spinach ang pang-substitute ko. Hindi kumpleto kapag walang green talaga.

MM,

This means I can use the ham bone in the freezer instead of the pork hocks. I can’t wait to try this with the kids again. I love this Filipino comfort food especially on rainy days like today.

Thanks again,

Jr.

Good Lawd MM!!! I love balatung!!! I have made it with pork, ham, spam, shrimp, salt pork, chicharon and even thick bacon, but never with lechon! Living in Texas limits my access to Lechon, but from here on out when I do get some in the future the leftovers won’t automatically become paksiw.
