Let's start another food thread...:-)

I need your advice. Hubby will have a little birthday party and wants to
serve some Filipino dishes (hehe).
We got a glass of bagoong, and now we are not sure about how to serve it. I
think it can be eaten cold, like mustard, as a dip. Hubby says it should be
heated.
You guys enlighten us before we do something wrong? :-)

Serving bagoong will increase alcohol consumption but I'm sure you won't
mind.

If you get raw shrimp fry bagoong, saute in chopped onions and little
chunks of pork. But you can get pre-sauteed bagoong. Raw shrimp fry
bagoong is too salty, but still ok to eat raw.

Fish bagoong is ok to eat raw but I prefer to temper the saltiness with
lime, lemon, and a few drops of dry wine. The rest of the wine should
be gulped at once to fully appreciate its fine qualities.

> You guys enlighten us before we do something wrong? :-)

In the U.S. we dial 9-1-1 for food poisoning. I don't know what you
guys are supposed to do. First aid is Russkie Vodkie. Lots of it.

At any rate, bagoong is not eaten with baked goodies like caviar. It's
a dip for veggies, fruits and "animal byproducts." For men's birthday
parties, it is served at room temperature in the bellybuttons of nekkid
furlines tied spreadeagle on the horse-doves table.

Mostly I prefer it hot. But room temperature for mangoes work.

I don't touch the stuff myself so I just have to go with what I've
observed - besides I can never remember what the difference is between
bagoong and alamang:

1. Pinakbet - cooked with the vegtables, so hot (I like my pinakbet with no
bagoong and I use patis instead)
2. Kare-kare- used an enhancer, so not heated (I use patis instead)
3. with green mangoes - used as a dip - not heated.- (I use salt)

Hi mein Schatz,

Bagoong tastes best in ambient body temperature.

cold usually, wifey likes it with chopped tomatoes and diced boiled
eggs over (what else) rice!
also added to noodles for flavor... use sparingly it has a strong
flavor. !/2 tea spoon per tomato (med.)and 2 boiled eggs is about
right... think of it as a salt type of additive- like soy sauce only
thicker...
it's great to add inside of egg rolls !

Wrong. It's hubby who won't mind. :-)

Good old "Klosterfrau Melissengeist" (a herbs liquor invented by nuns) will
work for us.

Hm, although hubby is enthusiastic about this serving suggestion, I'm still
reluctant. A fishbelly-colored bellybutton doesn't seem appropriate to me.

Hi JT mein Schatz, that would mean - DSP's bellybutton serving suggestion
isn't too bad? ;-)
BTW - glad to see your posts again! :-)

Thanks also to Cheeze, Pong, and Joekerr for your input. You guys never let
me down when I need advice. :-*

Stay longer in SCF without spamming and you will know the difference (if
any).

Pinakbet is cooked with bagoong isda (fish).

> 2. Kare-kare- used an enhancer, so not heated (I use patis instead)

Bagoong alamang (shrimp fry) is used with kare-kare.

> 3. with green mangoes - used as a dip - not heated.- (I use salt)

Any of the two types (isda or alamang) will do with fruit. Actually, I
have seen bagoong alamang added to coarse salt to really enjoy green
mangoes.

I try all Pinoy foods. Unlike you, I don't have any hangups with the
cuisine of my parent's old country.

This concludes Pong's partial lesson in bagoong appreciation.

I bet you don't have a Philippine Passport; or pay taxes to the

That's an anti-spam measure, as I'm sure you know.

Start or buy a business. Make it earn money. Be the top honcho. Then
you can play whenever you want because YOU ARE THE BOSS and YOU OWN all
the computers. Until you get there, grit your teeth with envy at those
of us who can. Bwahahahahahahahahawr!

Increasing Philippinization. Pinoy food does the trick. Or music does it.

What are you guys doing? A "Pinoyness contest"? :-))
You can put hubby on the list of contestants. Reading your advices and
recipes made him hot to try the bagoong now, he put it on his rice and what
can I say? It was love on first taste! :-D
He declared he will put it on his toast instead of strawberry jam from now
on. After eating several spoonfuls of bagoong he also declared (in a
somewhat euphoric mode) that next time he will try balut.
I'm worried. Does bagoong have any psychedelic side effects if you take it
in higher dosis?
