Half my old workforce was Filipino and going to family parties with them I swear has taken 7-10 years off my life.

Enjoying good food is worth losing the last 10 or so over, in my opinion.

You're losing them from the middle though. People say this about a lot of vices, but its not like being a heavy smoker or an uncontrolled diabetic changes a date in the Reaper's day-planner. You just become unhealthy earlier in life.

Live your life how you want, just accept that you're going to spend the same amount of time at the nursing home unless you take up cliff-jumping or something.

The Philippines was colonized by both Spain and America. Haha, sure, the unhealthy food must have come from Spain, I can't imagine any other influences that could have led to that.

Not necessarily. Plenty of ‘bad habits’ impact you in the form of a sudden and massive heart attack or other acute issue. Even something like lung cancer is acute compared to the general decline in health you’re talking about.

That's usually not the only health problem you get though. Even if your vice is jumping a motorcycle over the Grand Canyon you might die suddenly, but you might end up in a wheelchair in chronic pain.

They’re both flippant remarks conveying the same thing. “You lose the ones at the end” is not meant to be taken literally. At least I’ve never meant it to be.

I'm sure most people don't use it literally. But it used to just be that friend-of-a-friend you aren't surprised died in their 30s that would mean it and it annoys me because it feels like its reaching that joke/serious tipping point flat-earthers and jet fuel vs steel beams people already crossed. This is probably also region specific.

I want something that makes you lose the years at the start, cos I wasn't using them for anything anyway, so if I could just be dead for a while retroactively and swap the time later in life that would probably be an improvement.

Lumpia: think of the crunchiest most flavorful eggroll you've ever gotten from an americanized chinese place, then make it 1/4 to 1/3 the diameter so all of everything gets cooked at the same time in hot oil, no sogginess and the outer wrap becomes like a fresh-fried Mexican tortilla chip.

Pancit: think of really good americanized chow mein, but add more garlic, more cabbage, and a add a Filipino take on chorizo or slow-marinade chicken.

The size of lumpia is perfect for just machine gunning them into your face. Luckily you usually get a big pile of them.

Lumpia is a pain to make at home, but pancit is pretty easy. The right noodles, calamansi juice, and msg are crucial imo.

Lumpia is like tamales & empanadas where you just dedicate a day making a gigantic batch, then freeze stuff that isn't being immediately used.

I also learned to cook lumpia in an air fryer, you want to lightly brush the outside with oil.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

If you know someone with a Costco membership, you can often get a huge batch of the pre-frozen lumpia in their freezer section. Air-fryering them as mentioned above provides a delicious but decidedly unhealthy snack.

After looking up Lumpia, this is pretty much what the standard "egg roll" style appetizer in Asian restaurants in Australia is, usually called a spring roll.

Thin pastry, combination of vegetables and meat (pork, chicken, prawn are common), deep fried. Egg rolls are unknown here although I did have them when I visited the US and have to agree a good egg roll is a delicious thing.

I like lumpia sariwa, but I do make it a point to verify which version a restaurant has before ordering. Luckily 9/10 times it's lumpia shanghai as it's the more popular one.


Mods please change the thread title to You have to ASK for lumpia sariwa

If you feel lumpia in your balls immediately consult a physician, as it may be a sign of testicular cancer.

I had the nickname "breadstick" in high school because they were the only good food the cafeteria could produce and so they were all I bought. It's possible they were only good thanks to the free cheese or marinara dip each one came with.
