I missed dried fish, kinilaw, inihaw oh my God i'm going crazy... last year i bought a dried fish in chinese store and i am very excited to cook and eat it, but my husband was really mad at me because the smell is really bad and he threw it away in the garbage. you know how sad am i? very super sad, and i cried he warned me not to cook again.

i miss most of filipino food too, ive been here in the US for almost 5 years and haven't been able to go back and visit, your husband is so mean how can he throw away the food that you like, my husband is totally supportive of me in buying filipino food and even he doesn't like it he doesn't throw it away, he actually takes me to asian market just to buy some food even its 3 hours drive away from our home, im 7 months on the way right now and cannot travel very long so im just drolling when ever i want some food back home.Lol!

he only threw dried fish and bagoong because he dont like the smell, he said its very horrible, ... he like some filipino foods like calderita and afritada that is his favorite as well as tocino. we always going to divisoria a filipino store her in montreal (canada ) 35 minutes drive from home. he is also a member of this store since this store is a cooperative supported by the government.

Oh that's very sad indeed. I think I know exactly how you feel because Filipino foods ar indeed irresistible, and having none of it is very awful. Maybe, you should make your husband understand that these sorts of food are what we consider delicious and I guess he should at the very least try to understand. Furthermore, not all Pinoy foods smell bad, in fact many smells great, like adobo, sinigang and many more..
Maybe you should make him try some of the 'better Pinoy foods'..
B-)

he tried a lot of filipino foods already because i always make calderita, afritada, kinilaw, inihaw, adobo, sinigang, etc. but sometimes i wanna eat dried fish and bagoong which i cant, becuase he will get mad at me.

hahaha, that's funny, and sad at the same time...hehe i really do feel bad for you. i probably would miss those too if ever i'd move away...they really have a distinct taste, and smell, that you can't find anywhere else. hehe i can't help laughing though bout your husband complaining bout it. isn't he a filipino too? that's too bad you can't eat them again while you're there.
you can try making kinilaw though, i don't think there'd be a smell he could complain with...
hmmm...talking bout food is really making my mouth water...hehe
goodluck!
