does anyone know "adobo?"?

Answer 1

Adobo, perhaps, is the most popular and most distinguished among all Filipino cuisines. It has been made reference to in the movie American Adobo and has been a name given to some Filipino sitcom performers. A number of successful local Philippine snack products usually mark their items "Adobo-flavored." This assortment includes, but is not limited to, nuts, chips, and corn crackers.

During the 1990s, a local instant food company, Nissin-Monde in particular, made an adobo-flavored instant stir-fry noodle. The product has met a limited commercial success, though, given its strong ties to Philippine culture.

Indeed, adobo is eaten by virtually all Filipinos, regardless of social standing, home province or region. There are as many versions of adobo as there are Filipino families. Because of its long shelf life (improving in flavour in the days after it is first cooked) and adapability to different usages (eg. with steamed rice for lunch or dinner, in sandwiches when you're on the go, crisp-fried and served for breakfast with eggs and garlic rice) adobo is often the first thing to go into the picnic hamper whenever Filipinos go to the beach or on holiday. It is for all intents and purposes the national dish of the Philippines.

As additional trivia, the Black Eyed Peas's apl.de.ap, a Filipino-American, has a song called Bebot that mentions his life in the barrio wherein his food is usually Chicken Adobo.

Answer 2

Adobo, a common dish in the Philippines, is typically made from pork or chicken, slow-cooked in soy sauce, vinegar, crushed garlic, bay leaf, and black peppercorns. This dish originates from the Northern region of the Philippines.

It is one of the first dishes Filipinos learn to cook as it is simple and requires just a handful of ingredients. In good tasting adobo, none of the spice flavors dominates but rather the taste is a delicate balance of all the ingredients. As with most dishes, there will be slight variations in the ratios of the ingredients or the cooking process, and the cook's unique touch is impressed upon the final outcome.

Adobo is a very common packed food for Filipino mountaineers and travellers because of its relatively longer shelf-life.
