Philippine cuisine and food culture have several foreign influences that have successfully melded with local, indigenous cuisine.
This not only means that there are hundreds (if not thousands) of individually different dishes but also there are some Filipino dishes served throughout the country, but often have different preparations and even names. With the Philippines being one of the world’s largest archipelagos, Filipino cuisine and Philippine traditional food is highly local and regional. Most Filipino dishes and delicacies began with their creators making use of whatever ingredients they could find (usually within a 1-2 mile radius) and creating a dish from those ingredients. Some would like to call Filipino food, “one of the world’s earliest fusion cuisines,” and while that may be true up to a certain point, it may also be an oversimplification.
