I understand your culture friend but here in my country and particularly in my place, we are used to this habit, giving some foods to our neighbors is already our practice.

@ida123 This is why I told that we have different habits. I understand that in your country this is common practice.

Nice friend, you are sharing your food to your neighbor. I can sense you are a very nice lady. At home, we just eat fish balls during rainy day.

Soups are really good during rainy season. It adds warmth to our body. We sometimes have chicken macaroni soup or the instant knorr soups. We also crave for champorado and dried fish.

I haven't experience eating champorado and dried fish. Eating champorado is good because it is sweet but I can't eat dried fish with champorado, a combination of sweet and salty foods. I'll try that someday.

@ida123 Champorado and "tuyo" are partners.

Yes, if we have some foods left from our meal, I'd rather give it to the needy neighbors.

During rainy days, I always crave for champorado. To those unfamiliar, it is basically cocoa-flavored sticky rice. It is usually served with powdered milk but others serve it with salted fish. They say that the two flavors contrast each other and create quite the experience.

Have you ever heard of Batchoy? I crave for that sometimes. When it's cold, I grab a cuppa. I'm not into food during cold days.

@ida123 the instant ones don't have those but they don't even taste close to the real La Paz Batchoy.

I like soup during rainy days,too. Mongo is so delicious especially if we add vegetables like spinatch,squash, and malunggay. Then a small cut of pork to bring its taste to the highest level.

Sharing our extras really makes our hearts light. So good you are giving your neighbors some food. I do it too, as I had seen from my late mother who even cared for beggars.

I'm giving some foods to my nearby neighbors when I have plenty or some leftover. Better share it rather than spoiled the foods.

That`s so lovely of you, l like the way you guys share there.But to be honest, if a neighbour brought me soup,l`d think she`d put poison in it because it`s a never done thing. l will accept whole cake or fruit and that`s about it.
