- Description:
- We end the sampling of culinary words from the Sanlucar/Noceda dictionary of 1754 by reviewing words for Spanish “cocer,” to cook. Names for foods were often the word for how they were cooked. INIHAW and ASADO, for instance, both meant viands prepared by roasting. They still do. TAMBONG was to cook a whole fish; COLOB to cook in hot water fish or meat in a BAO, a coconut shell; LAGAT to cook fish. LAGA and ANBLAY were to cook anything in water only. QISA meant to mix rice and corn, beans, or sweet potato; it also meant to cook them. LABON was specific to cooking sweet potato. SAING was to cook rice; BONYOG to cook rice in bamboo. Bamboo culms and clay pots were in use side by side with metal pans during the second colonial century. Bamboo tubes and baskets with names specific for their tasks were still being used. Their names, preserved in colonial dictionaries and other records, need to be revived if they have fallen out of use. Same with cooking terms.
