Food I feel like eating at the moment

So. I had a massive food baby yesterday after eating an inordinate amount of Indian food at an Indian lunch buffet (the naan was so warm and good and chewy, and everything else was good). This post seems really odd given that in mind, but whatever.

Filipino Breakfast

normally consists of fried egg, rice (or garlic rice), a side of tomatoes and one of the following:

-tapa (pictured on the left): marinated sweet/salty beef

-Spanish sardines: sardines in oil with chilis

-longganisa: sweet/salty pork sausage

(variation on this is Vigan longganisa which is smaller and salty instead of big and sweet)

-bangus: milkfish which is sometimes marinated and deep-fried

Spanish Chocolate

Does this even need an explanation? Yes, I guess. Well I like this a LOT better than other hot chocolate because it's creamier, thicker and not as sweet. Perfect for eating with the Filipino breakfast (above) or for dipping pandesal and churros in. I prefer mine slightly bitter and not extremely thick and I end up making my hot chocolate in the microwave for convenience's sake.

I probably desecrate the whole thing by adding soy milk instead of regular milk or cream, now that I think about it...but it works (especially since soy milk is thicker and sweeter than regular milk).

Prosciutto and Fig pizza

I first had this in a restaurant near my house in Manila called Trio, which had a lot of oval-shaped pizza with different toppings. This was probably my favorite out of all of them, because the combination of sweet figs with the saltiness of prosciutto was pretty amazing. Because of this pizza, I love figs and buy them (as dried figs) from the bulk section of the supermarket every so often. Trader Joe's has them as well (buy the black California ones, not the whitish-yellow Kalmyrna figs).

Ok. The elliptical beckons me. Will maybe continue this list later.
