Why Sinigang?
by Doreen G. Fernandez
The story Why Sinigang is all about the taste shaped of people.Why do we like the lightly boiled, the slightly soured, the dish that includes fish, a shrimp or meat even vegetables and broth.
The Filipino like the lightly boiled, slightly soured, the dish that includes fish or meat, vegetables and broth, no other than Sinigang. Sinigang is all adaptable to all tastes if you don't want shrimp then pork or fish and you can also save money in it's recipe.
But why we like Sinigang at all? It is because we can save money from the ingredients? or? because the taste shaped of people? So how is a people taste shaped?
For my own answer the taste shaped of a people cannot be identified because we have different taste. For example, I like sweet foods while my friend Princess like salty foods.
I learned that people tastes shaped cannot be identified because we have different shape in tasting foods. I also learned that Sinigang is the dish that most representative of Filipino taste.
Rice
The story Rice is all about the uses of it. Rice can be eaten with different dishes. We can use rice in making other food like puto, bibingka, suman and etc.
Rice to us is more than basic cereal, for as constant background, steady accompaniment, it is also the shaper of other foods, and of tastes. We not only sour, but also salt (daing, tuyo, bagoong) because the blandness of rice suggests the desirability of sharp contrast. Rice can be ground into flour and thus the proliferation of puto: the midly sweet putong Polo, the banana leaf-encased Manapla variety: puto filled with meat or flavored with ube: puto in cakes or wedges, white or brown, eaten with dinuguan or salabat.
But still, why soured? Aside from the fact that sour broths are cooling in the hot weather, could it be perhaps because the dish is meant to be eaten against the mild background of rice?
For me, Yes, beacause of it's sour taste. On the other hand I realized that most of us Filipino eat the Sinigang with rice. So it's definitely a big Yes for me.
I realized that Rice have many uses. It can be eaten with different taste. It can be made as puto, suman, bibingka and etc.

Why Sinigang?
Sinigang seems the dish most represent Filipino taste. It is easy to cook and other Filipino like lightly boiled and soured. A dish could includes fish or meat. It is healthy because we can add vegetables and affordable to buy the ingredients. Sinigang is also different in other Filipino food because of it's tasted shaped.

LITERARY LUMINARY (Annie Lyn Cabuga)
1. Sinigang seems to me the dish most representative of Filipino taste
Because it is one of the most excessive dish includes fish, meat, shrimp and it is also one of the best kind signature dish of Filipino. It's sour ia balanced when you try if it makes you giggle. So I choose this.
2. "The Southwest Pacific one dietary constant"
I choose this because it represent the coconut that we have in other Asian lands and areas around the Pacific and if without this land maybe our coconut can't see to other lands.
3. Second
Because the word "second" is the word next to the fiest and second word represent the type of coconut if the coconut is good or bad taste. It can also do a steps how coconut do in the other process. Second word is not also in the coconut but also to other things.
4. Death
The tagalog of death word is kamatayan. I also choose this word because it represebt the cocobut taste like if you drink a coconut juice you can feel death because it so very delicious. So I choose death word. But it's up to you if you kike it or not
5. But still, why soured?
I choose this because this question different from other question why sinigang, still soured? Sinigang is still soured beacause it have an ingredients that is sour like sampalok.
