For the first time in my life, I experienced in a "budol fight". This is foreign for most of the mylotters here. Well, I could not explain so well. I just wish there are filipinos here who can elaborate more on this.
Well, it's a filipino way of dining wherein we spread banana leaves on the table and put all the foods on it. Then we eat by hand emphasizing camaraderie and shared enjoyment.
We all enjoyed and I have eaten more than what I was supposed to eat.

I think I understand... A Boodle fight is a feast where no spoons, forks or knives are used. Everybody washes up first and then serves themselves from piles of cooked or prepared foods using their hands to serve themselves and eat.
It can be a family, friends or workmates sharing the feast.
You didn't eat more than you were supposed to eat, you ate too much food. Do you feel ready to pop from eating too much?

@pahak627 When I first came to myLot one of the Filipinos here invited me to a Boodle fight and explained it to me. I really wish I could have gone. It sounded like a lot of fun!
