- Description:
- The synonym for grape wine was ALAC. He adds that coconut wine was distilled. It is likely that coconut and nipa were used to make vinegar. But other sources would be needed to verify the conjecture. Perplexing is that the Pampanga words for ADOBO (“marinade” in this context) are buro (brining) and taguilao (salting). No mention of vinegar used as a pickling solution (adobo) is made. Could preserving with salt have been more common than preserving with vinegar? This set of words is intended to exemplify how dictionary entries can be useful in dating culinary ingredients, processes, and products. They often lead to new questions with answers in period reports and registers.
