- Description:
- Tagalog meals were MAGAGA, the morning meal and HAPONAN, the late meal. BAHAO was something guarded at night for tomorrow’s breakfast. In 1624 PAMAHAO was defined as both breakfast and “merender”. [In 1852, the Spanish word merender meant to take a meal or refreshment between dinner and supper, or in some places to eat the principal meal at noon.]The dead were fed, too. LAMAC were small plates on which treats to put at mortuaries were placed; also to distribute food in plates for the dead. Noceda and Sanlucar offer evidence of a custom and words related to it. Is LAMAC still used?
