Bayanihan Adobo: A Very Tempting Filipino Dish
In a certain New York apartment, there were group of Filipino students gathered one evening to relieve their nostalgia for rice and adobo. As they sat down to begin supper, someone’s knocking at the door. The hostess opened the door and to everyone’s surprise, they saw a big Irish Policeman with the badge of authority written all over his six feet two. He came to investigate because the whole neighbor complained that a very strange smell was coming from the Filipinos’ apartment. The students explained that they were merely having a feast of rice and adobo, and invited the policeman to join them. Few minutes later, leaving the apartment to be on his beat again, the policeman came across those neighbors who had asked him to conduct an investigation. With a merry twinkling in his blue eyes, he addressed them, “My friends, the next time you smell that funny odor again, don’t forget to call me”.
