Do you like to eat mongo on Friday?

Today is Friday and almost every household cooks mongo today. I really don't know where it started but my theory is that it came from the idea that Friday is a sacrifice day, that is why you only have to eat vegetable meal. (but how can it be a sacrifice day?mongo was a very delicious meal!) Well, we cook mongo meal every Friday, paired with fish in vinegar and ginger. My mom cooks it. She would first boil the beans then when it is soft, she would saute it in garlic, onion tomato and shrimp paste. Then add the mongo beans and let it simmer, add some water in it and let it boil then add some malunggay leaves. We don't like to use bitter gourd leaves as we don't like bitter taste. Sometimes I used kamias fruit to add some sourness on the meal. My sister and her family loves mongo on Friday too, well the way she cooked it was different on my mother's way. She used real shrimp to add some taste. She would saute it in garlic, onion tomato, fish sauce and then add big shrimp ( well in her case, where did the sacrifice thing go LOL) then she uses bitter gourd leaves (her hubby likes it that way, she always do what her hubby says LOL very different from mine LOL) Well today is Friday and almost lunch time. have you had you monggo today?Oh I remember again, my brother in law, in his office canteen mongo is always present too when Friday come. So have you had your monggo today? Does your office canteen serves monngo on Friday? Or Do you eat it too on any other day?
