Culinary Advice 101



Acquaintances lucky enough to have tasted and stolen the recipe for The Nashman's Majestic Chicken Wings Adobo want to know what wine should be served to accompany such a superb dish.

Should it be a sweet and dry Gewürztraminer threshed between the hips of undulating virgins from the Alsace, or a bold Bardolino Classico Superiore squeezed by the bosoms of the amorous girls of Verona?

I say, the best tipple to make those soft slivers of soy and garlic infused chicken slide smoothly down the throat into the expectant tapeworms you harbour in your belly is Eight O'Clock Orange Juice....or if you are really posh, Ritchie's Orange Juice Concentrate diluted 10 times. It's sooooo Pinoy. Mmmmmm.


Confession: We can't find Ritchie's or Eight O'Clock in Middle Earth so we had to settle for the more inferior freshly squeezed Sevilla Oranges. Sigh. I want those E-numbers and artificial colourings! (Diba Ashley? Kahit pa-Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee pa ako pressed in a designer cafetiere every so often, paminsan-minsan I long for Blend 45 served in it's very own bottle. Mag-ipon ka lang ng anim na napag-ubusan na bote ng Blend 45, isang crystal set na.)
