- Title:
- Carabao Duties
- Description:
- Antonio Morga noted wild game in Filipinas: deer, wild boar, even porcupine, and “buffalos called carabaos which are raised in the fields; and there are fierce carabaos aside from the tame ones brought from China, of which there are a great number, and very beautiful ones only useful for dairy purposes, their milk being thicker and better tasting than cow’s milk.” One wonders if flan de leche was made in 16th century Manila. With fresh carabao or cow milk?
