Bradley's Homestead

We have returned to an old favorite of international cooking in which we visit different countries at our dining table. In the past, we have cooked dishes from Brazil, Haiti, Ireland, Cuba, Turkey, Africa, Korea, France, Thailand, and the list goes on… 

This Filipino dish, Boodle Fight, came to mind after meeting with a client. It was an early Saturday morning when I had the pleasure of learning about Boodle Fight. They explained how it’s a meal that is assembled on a table eaten with your bare hands. Guests stand or sit around the table while eating. It includes rice and or noodles as the base, paired with an assortment of grilled meats, seafood, vegetables, boiled eggs, and sauces served on banana leaves.

Kamayan, is the traditional Filipino method of eating with bare hands.

I came home to share the information with hubby and we researched it, fell in love with the concept, and added it to Friday’s dinner menu! The variety of meats and vegetables that can be added to this dish is limitless. We reduced the serving size for just us but it was still overwhelming! We ate it for lunch and dinner, followed by an omelet skillet with the leftovers for breakfast on Saturday morning.
