Okay, I need help in putting more info, it seems that there is a lot of interest in regards to Philippines and Camiguin.  I would love to put more information here, but need feedback from all of you, one of the people that I connected with lived in Camiguin and she said I should write about the food! Well, that is a great idea, but I do not know the names and I can describe it, but am really bad… so if some of you would contribute some kind of description of the great food in Camiguin (i miss it sooooo) and the fruits… it would be gladly accepted and appreciated!

Thanks! and hope to hear from you….

    CHICKEN SUROL

    1 whole native chicken (it has to be native chicken) chopped into small pieces
    1 fresh coconut, grated or 1 pack of reconstituted coconut milk
    3 Lemon grass, including roots (leaves not necessary, cut into a pencil long sticks)
    some kalabo (Philippine salbei)
    piece of ginger
    chillis, small hot ones
    some red and green peppers cut into long strips
    unions (the local ones with leaves, chopped into small pieces)
    Patis (Fish sauce)

    Stir the pieces of chicken into a bit of oil, cover and let its natural juice simmer
    Add all other ingredients except the unions and stir, add Patis and pepper
    Pour the coconut milk (some do it in two portions, first the pure, then the second – mix with water)
    Boil and serve while hot.

    Does the chicken have to have a native-born mother and father too?

    I seem not to get it. I am a new member and sent the recipe above CHICKEN SUROL. I thought I have to put the e-mail address of kathy who wrote the original blog Nov. 13.

    The recipe came from me, marites rami, maritesrami@hotmail.com

    Thanks editors

    They can be born in the USA but carries the blood of the native Filipino chicken, otherwise we call them broiled chicken, soft, not very tasty meat in contrast to the tough, very tasty native chicken of the Philippines.

    So, if you live abroad, try bringing the local fertilized egg and try your luck hatching them on an incubator… would be a good experiment.

    I used to live in Kenya, Africa and they have exactly the same native chicken of the Philippines.

    In SWitzerland, where I also live, you can't find any.

    Good luck!
