First, the deep fried Canary would have me throwing up whatever was ailing me. There would be no time to eat it. The deep frying odour would do it for me. Although none of what is listed above is found in a Philippines celebration food buffet, the list did remind me of every celebration my wife has dragged me to over the decades.
