Survival Food: 'Lugaw'

It is indeed an essential one.

No, it's not essential. I've never eaten it and I'm still alive.

@Shavkat true

We do have instant noodles and some cans, too. They are good for extra food in the house.

@Shavkat you got that right. I think her issues are quite mistaken. Although her being vigilant is commendable but shes trying to point out something which is quite erronoius if you ask me :)

I did not include the issue that you had mentioned. For the reason that it is nonsense claimed by her.

@setsuna26 I do think that all of us are free to say things from within. Personally, it should be with sense and valid reasons.

I agree.

I am hoping that it will not happen, too. If we all cooperate, then we can stop this pandemic.

I am sure that you can do a lot of good meals with these ingredients.

@LadyDuck That's nice. At least, it can last for 8 months.

@Shavkat I can do a lot with the ingredients I have in the pantry, I think we can live 8 months if something bad could happen.

Why not try to eat rice. I cannot blame you since Asian people's staple food is rice. It is totally different at your place.

@Shavkat When I was little one of my brothers told me mom made rice from boiling maggots. I can eat rice as long as nothing reminds me of that memory. I don't eat it often, though.

@Shavkat Yeah, my brother got into a lot of trouble over telling me that. But he got into more trouble after telling me that mom made chocolate cake from pig's blood. My dad and mom were butchering a pig in our back yard. I saw mom catching the blood in a big pan and ask my brother why she was doing that. He told me to use in chocolate cake. When I wouldn't eat the cake mom made for dessert that night she asked who told me something about chocolate cake.... When my brother finally told her what he said she told him he couldn't have chocolate cake anymore until I ate it, too. He didn't get more chocolate cake until he moved away from home.

I have not watched any news lately. I prefer not to because it makes me feel frustrated.

@Shavkat It depends on. Sometimes it can be only vegetables

@youless I am sure it does look like a Chinese congee.

What do you put in it? I am sure you put some meat.

I am glad that my whole family members love it, especially during the wet season.

I haven't heard any except the country you had said. I hope it will not happen.

I agree that it is the quickest way to have food on the table. Although, it is not healthy food.

I read the news about it. It boiled down when a person violated the curfew for buying it. I will recheck the real story of this.

It is a good option. At least, we do not need to worry about fresh ingredients being rotten if not being cooked.
