ako ay pinanganak sa manila at dito rin laki…..ang aking mga magulang ay bisaya kaya di kaila sa akin ang lasa at lutong bisaya…. gusto ko ang tnuwang isda, adobong baboy na maputla sa toyo at halos nagmamantika (pero may lasa yung mantika nya)sinabawang gulay o isda na may tanglad… mahilig din ako sa ginamos na may siling labuyo, sibuyas bumbay at konting sukang tuba ( halo ang humay at bigas na mais ang pinaka kanin)… kung minsan boating/fishing kami tapos pag may nahuling isda ay isawsaw lang namin sa baon naming suka at sabay nguya at pagkatapos ay iinom ng kalahating baso ng tuba…hehehe sarap talaga

In leyte and samar i’ve noticed only this year that very few already cook and eat alugbate, and no red alugbate is seen in the markets. i am campaigning for green alugbate in samar. what are its uses? please email me your answers. thanks

Speaking of kamunggay, sa among bukid sa mindanao kay kalamunggay jud tawag ani, hahahaha! Lingawa nako oi, kay nangita sad ko sa english name ani kay naa ko dri San Jose CA and i want to buy this very nutritious green leafy vegetable… ako gi google bah, Moringa seems to be another “English” name for this. The use of the Moringa is popular also in India.. so mangyawat kos Indian store, basin naa pud ni….haay, i just remembered how when i a was little, used to crush the kamunggay leaves to dab the juice on cuts and bruises! Epektibo jud!

Alugbate:

As i mentioned in my earlier comments, Alugbate is spoken by hinterland folks in Cebu. Agabate is the urban word, it is spinach in english.

tinola: the correct word.

tino(w)a is spoken by urban folks (urban speaking mostly drops letter ‘l’ in a noun word)e.g kalayo (kayo) alugbate (agbate) kalamay (kamay) and it goes on and on. But, it tends to retain most of an adjective word, e.g ka-looy, kalisud, kaligdong. tinola is spoken from hinterland.

my own recipe: use either fish or chicken, luy-a, sibuyas (dahon), sili (espada), og kamunggay (alernative-dahon sili). If you prefer peppersih, saute more sili-sington hasta imong bugan!

By the way, kamunggay is a medicinal too. If you have small cut, warm a kamuggay leaves, squeeze and apply directly to the cut-it’s like tincture of iodine.

biboha ani uy. nangita ko uy malunggay sa google, ambot nganong pirmi ‘not found’. abi nako’g mas ilhan ang malunggay. kapila ko nag try wa man jud so i tried kamunggay. lo and behold, found several websites! lipaya nako uy. duha ra unta’y akong tuyo: iningglis ug scientific name sa kamunggay: i got the english name from this page. i may have to browse some more for the sn.

by the way, my reason for looking for the sn of kamunggay was that an australian friend of my husband was asking how he would find it in cambodia because my husband suggested to him to take raw malunggay juice (he speaks tagalog) for a million reasons: mainly blood detox. we in the family do the juice at least twice a week since 2000. no cardiovascular problems since then.

as we challenge especially male friends, “kung kainom ka’g tanduay, kainom kag kamunggay”.

ayo ayo natong tanan
