2021年12月2日 ブードルファイト

フィリピンには特別な食事スタイルがある、その名もブードルファイト。元々はフィリピン軍式の食事方法らしく、長方形に並べられたバナナの葉の周辺部にライス、 真ん中に様々な料理が並んでおり、これをカマヤン、即ち手掴みで食べるスタイルだ。
軍隊式なので椅子でなく地面に座っての食事なのであろう。実際にやってみるとコトの他、美味しく感じる。誰かが、食べるときは地面に近いほど美味い!! と言っていたが床に胡坐をかいて手で食べるのは気分的にも爽快であった。軍人の場合、ゆっくり食事を楽しむ気分ではないだろうが、 戦闘の恐怖や過酷な訓練の合間のちょっと気の抜けるのが食事であって、楽しみな時間に違いないと思った。


Boodle Fight, December 2nd, 2021

There is a special eating style in the Philippines, the name is Boodle Fight. Originally, it seems to be a Filipino military style meal method, rice is lined up around the banana leaves arranged in a rectangle, and various dishes are lined up in the middle, which is Kamayan, that is, a style of eating by hand.
Since it is an army type, it is probably a meal that sits on the ground instead of a chair. When I actually try it, it feels delicious as well as things. Someone said that when eating, the closer it is to the ground, the more delicious it is !! But it was refreshing to eat with crossed legs on the floor. If you're a military man, you probably don't feel like relaxing and enjoying a meal, but I think it must be a fun time because it's a meal that is a little distracting between the fear of fighting and the rigorous training.
