AMERICANS TRY BOODLE FIGHT (Hands Only): Lechon Kawali, Shanghai, Adobo, and More! | Ella Fajardo

[@byronco4917]

Boodle fight is a military tradition in the philippines where soldiers would eat their meals standing or sitting with one hand behind their backs and using the other to eat the meal as fast as possible, every man for himself. Originally this was practiced so soldiers can eat fast and be on the go in times of hightened alerts.

Mabubudol tayo nyan.

[@EllaPatriceFajardo]

thank you for the information I really appreciate your time! God bless!

[@francisballecer9432]

Budol pight forda ferson🤣

[@ecilatnecniv]

you mean boodle, ayt!?

[@romusicofficialph7951]

@Elmhart buti na lang hindi puddle 🤣

[@Ilaya593]

This is one of the few types of communal eating activities in the world that makes you think twice about reaching for your smartphone. That's actually a good thing! This means that since your fingers are covered in sauce, you dare not put that all over your smartphone's screen, right? But more importantly, this enables everyone at the table to actually spend more time bonding together and truly enjoying the food with no aftertaste of metal cutlery or splinters from wooden chopsticks (or the awkwardness for those not used holding a pair of chopsticks!) instead of looking at their smartphones (as you would normally see in other restaurants). Feeling the different textures and smelling the food gives one a truly 3D gastronomical experience. Well done, Ella! More power to your team and thanks to the Tita and her cooking staff for a wonderful meal!!!

[@pauldela3767]

How i wished every filipino abroad do this to their foreign friends! Its a great bond and also to introduce the filipino cuisine in the world! Our food is so underated!

[@Moss_piglets]

My grandma has since she left the Philippines in the 1960s. She's in her 90s now and did it until 2020. No more boodle fights at her home because it's just too risky.

[@EllaPatriceFajardo]

they love filipino food. it will forever be underrated!

[@bernardoastorga6548]

I look art txt🎉a

[@frisc0pn0ib0i]

What makes you think they don’t. This is why people in the Philippines need to stop making assumptions as if they live out here.

[@yheaguirre5119]

Nice ❤️❤️❤️

[@Lifeisbeautiful67]

We love you. Thank you for promoting our Filipino foods. You’re special and a true Filipina eventhough your away from our native land.

[@EllaPatriceFajardo]

that means so much :)) thank you for watching my videos and I hope to hear from you more! God bless!

[@noahlopez9547]

U r all voracios nd mn lng nagtira pra sa aso

[@bravehearth2618]

Boodle fight symbolizes unity and brotherhood!

[@chongke4026]

Good comment

[@pusakuching]

Also worth mentioning this isn't a regular thing for Filipinos. We only get to try this at fiestas or in the province. It's romanticized a lot abroad. For regular get togethers, family-style on platters and individual plates is it.

[@EllaPatriceFajardo]

correct! thank you for your feedback!

[@anthonysalonga690]

I like how these girls love filipino food..

[@EllaPatriceFajardo]

They love it!!

[@atongrocha5360]

i love it when i saw Filipino restaurants with a Tita Auntie Lola Serving , it really feels like home

[@EllaPatriceFajardo]

[@lolomagno3726]

I really enjoyed looking at your black friend enjoying eating the filipino foods. I love her.

[@jofer1455]

I like the friendship their. Its the most beautiful thing in the world, no racist

[@chiplopez520]

Boodle fight is one of the best ways to eat with a group. It's very much prevalent in the military in the Philippines, especially when they have events in camps.

[@EllaPatriceFajardo]

Thank you for sharing that!! We had such a great time 🥹🙈

[@garryblanco3629]

I remember those days

[@exalkalibor924]

Girls left some red eggs and tomatoes. I'll give you all in the table barbecue, shrimp, lechon, lumpia etc. Gimme that red egg, tomato and rice..all good... lol. That tomato is slice are for fish and red egg.

[@jirviebasnig7984]

[@sweetgurl1040]

I just remembered our COCC Training for Citizens Army Training in high school. We did a boodle fight.

[@janeacusar]

That tilapia is so tempting. It is making me hungry, along with the sawsawan which is soy sauce with spiced vinegar with chopped garlic, onion, and chili peppers. Ummm yummy

[@TuneMoto]

[@cherylcarter9198]

Fun! I’m glad they all enjoyed the experience and food 😊 Ang bait mga workers sa restaurant

[@EllaPatriceFajardo]

thank you so much for your feedback! hope you enjoy the rest of my content! God bless!

[@acerezo7787]

Kamayan style dining is also known as a "Boodle Fight", named after the Filipino"army style" of eating. After a long day of marching, soldiers would eat off of banana leaves in the native tradition since they couldn't carry plates and utensils with them easily. This is the origin according to Google.

[@hipolitofajardo8304]

I'm proud of you in promoting our Filipino food.

[@grassrootsflshp]

This is REAL team food! Fun, family, food, fellowship. #FoodForChamps

[@venthusiast9244]

The way they are eating the porks and shanghaisss without rice huhuhu Im crying for them 😭😭😂 we filipinos can't enjoy a full meal without rice

[@cristinasumadchat605]

Life has been so hard these days and food prices have gone up. I hope that it won't be wasted. A lot of people get hungry and Filipino farmers work so hard and get so little. I hope leftovers just be given to dogs so as not to be wasted.

[@EllaPatriceFajardo]

leftovers were devoured!! Don;t worry!

[@takethisl7469]

i miss you my dear... finally, and im early too...❤️

[@albertorante1956]

[@ademal1401]

boodle fight. Kamayan, also known as kinamot or kinamut in Visayan languages,or kinamay in Tagalog is the traditional Filipino method of eating with the bare hands. It is also used to describe the Filipino communal feast where food is served on banana leaves and eaten without utensils.

[@adizongamer]

Yor team are all pretty! Be safe always kabayan!

[@EricksonFranco]

Not necessarily applicable nowadays, but you’re only “supposed” to eat with your eating hand, and not your “washing” hand. That’s why in some places, they used to cut off the right hand if you were caught stealing, so when you eat, you’re using your washing hand - the hand that cleans everything…even your behind after going #2!

[@SirChefsVlogs01]

Boodle fight is a military tradition, to eat foods together regardless of ranks especially the officers and the enlisted personnels.. Just to enjoy and have good rapport and camaraderie among all troops.

[@marvzadventure6015]

Great vlog! So glad they like filipino dishes. There's more to try. Amazing and Beautiful ladies especially you Ella :)
