For GT topic of food, I have two weird names to share. One is Laswa (pronounced as Las-wah, may lambot sa dulo wahh). Yeah, it's weird right? It's actually an Ilonggo dish that's like a stew of vegetable like alokbati, talong, okra (the slimier the better) and kalabasa. Instead of salt, we put danggit or bagoong (shrimp paste) to season the dish. I'm personally not fond of this dish growing up but my mom says it's nutritious so we have to eat up :(

Laswa, what a funny food name, but I love that vegetable stew. I can eat that with lots of rice. LOL!
ay! ang Las-wah!..LOL!
kidding aside, it looks delicious!
sorry sis, here's my link
Kami namn ang tawag namin e "patsam" sa mga nilutong experiment na masarap.
I think laswa is the visayan version of the ilocano dish which is pinakbet. Both of them are delicious.
LASWAH... weird indeed, lol!
by the way, do you mind checking out on The Dishonest Applicant?
big hug!
