It's true that there was a shortage of tomatoes in the Philippines during WWII. It was the Filipina food technologist, MARIA OROSA, who invented ketchup made from banana as an alternative to tomatoes. Years later after experimentation of the condiment, Filipinos discovered spaghetti using banana ketchup. The sweet spaghetti was a big hit that it became a common dish in birthday parties for children. It will definitely offend many Italians, but sweet spaghetti will always be a Filipino kids' childhood magic

I love pasta and am very particular about it. But as a Filipino, whenever I eat at Jollibee's or make my own Filipino spaghetti, it feels like a temporary escape from this unjust world, not caring what someone has to say. It's like our version of that final scene in Ratatouille. Not caring about what's right and what's wrong, just pure delectable experience.

This video brought back memories of when my mom and I would buy Filipino Spaghetti kits from the grocery store and have it as an afternoon snack in my teens. My maternal grandma's secret ingredient for her spaghetti was: Reno brand Liver spread! (liver spread is like a chicken-liver pâté). Liver spread added a rich, meaty taste to her spaghetti sauce and costs less than having to buy more meat for the same effect. My mother and I use liver spread when we make Filipino spaghetti and it gets lots of compliments at parties and gatherings (even from people who aren't fans of liver spread)!

I'm a 50 year old Filipino and My grandmother always made Filipino Spaghetti when i was a kid. She always used Banana Ketchup for her Filipino Spag for every ocassion. I remeber I'd taste the hot dogs first before mixing it with the sauce. The Filipino Spaghetti was originally made as kiddie meal for chiledren's birthday parties.

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, your reciepes and humour!!!!!! Would it be possible to show us some of the different types of noodles and cooking method (e.g. stir fry, soups, etc.). I don’t always find fresh noodles in Montreal/Canada and always in a dilemma when buying dried noodles. There are just so many out there 😅 thank you 🥰
