Boodle

A boodle is a very large collection of food that comes on banana leaves. The bottom layer is usually white rice on top of which can be fish, shrimp, crab, squid, clam, eggplant, bagoong, salted duck eggs, lato (seaweed), and slices of green mangoes, etc. In a boodle arrangement, diners eat with their fingers. It is strictly hands only — no spoons, forks, or knives.

This type of meal has its roots in the Philippine military’s style of eating in which soldiers, regardless of rank or position, dine together on food spread out on banana leaves. For soldiers, as well as groups of friends, families and office mates, the boodle fight symbolizes camaraderie and equality in the enjoyment of lots and lots of food.

Boodle Fight on Father’s Day

The members of the Holy Family Crusaders of USA celebrated Father’s Day 2016 aka Boodle Fight. We enjoyed Filipino dishes prepared by each family such as pork barbecue, pancit, grilled shrimp, squid and pork, kinilaw (ceviche- raw seafood with vinegar), fried eggplant, salted egg with tomatoes and a lot more. It was such a memorable and fun day to get together as a family.
