Fiesta! / myLot

I was out early this evening. Me and some family members went to our relatives. It's their town fiesta today. For those from other countries, we Filipinos are fond of celebrating Fiestas. It's a feast honoring the town's Patron Saint. It's a tradition which we inherit from the Spaniards during their colonization. Most houses are preparing a lot of foods and invite their friends and relatives to come over and eat. We went from house to house since we have a lot of relatives there. We had to eat in each house that we visit. And of course there will always be the "pabaon" or take out.

They usually have recipes like Puchero, Menudo, Caldereta, (all are meat with red sauce) those were the common. Some would have roasted pigs (lechon). And of course a lot of desserts like fruit salad, jellies (gelatin), and leche flan.
