- Description:
- Pampanga’s PIULAM means a food like “banana and mango that accompany a meal’s staple”(rice). The word proves eating a fruit on the side was done. ULAM is a viand and MANULAM is one who eats many viands with rice. ALAYAN described a plate atop which were different foods, a practice done when serving “lords and elderly”. MANALAYAN was to put different foods on a plate. DULUT according to Bergaño was food at table given to children and relations; food put on a plate without approval of the recipient by a servant, a slave, or a “younger boarder” in charge of serving. On Holy Thursday, CABA, food on a plate or in a basket was taken to feed the poor. On regular days CABA could be donated to a convent. TAGAN meant leftovers from a meal (also remnants when cutting fabric for clothing). ABAO also meant leftover food such as from a banquet or a dinner and that was being kept to serve at the next meal. MICABOCABAN not only meant keeping leftovers for tomorrow, or tomorrow’s leftovers for some other day, but leaving today’s work for some other time. The word selection hints at how life proceeded in the 1700s.
