Yum

Brazo de Mercedes?

Yuck is too strong a reaction (I mean, they don't taste bad), but they're toward the bottom of the list of desserts I'd choose at a bakery.

Brazo de Mercedes looks and sounds delicious if it isn't too sweet, never a sure thing with Philippine desserts. (Note how I avoided even the question of using "Filipinx".)

Gulab jamun?

Never tried it , I've looked it up , it looks tasty . YUM

Octopus and Fish Fried Rice ?
 
Probably yum. I've probably had calamansi juice as part of some Philippine recipe, but I still haven't had a chance to try the fruit or the straight juice or calamansi-ade.

John, do you grow them?

And, to keep thing Filipino for the moment ...

... Ube (purple sweet potato)?
 
Calamondin (Citrofortunella mitis) is a small orange fruit, about the size of or slightly larger than a kumquat. It is very juicy, but very sour, like a lemon or lime. You probably don't want to drink the juice fresh unless you have a high tolerance for it. The most authoritative sources say it is probably a cross between a tangerine and a kumquat. That makes sense, since it has the shape of a tangerine, and is easily sectioned like one, but the inside is sour like a kumquat, and the rind is somewhat sweet, but not nearly as sweet as a kumquat rind. It is also more cold hardy than most citrus, which is like the kumquat especially.

You can do anything with a calamondin that you'd do with a lemon or lime. You can make a delicious ade out of it, or make it like a Key lime pie. We used it use it to flavor tea, like you would do with lemon or lime. You can also marinate with the juice. I have also seen them planted as ornamentals on Worth Avenue In Palm Beach. It was tempting to pick the fruit, since it was just for show, but I'm sure they wouldn't like that.

I don't have a calamondin tree right now, but we had one for many years, and my grandparents also had one. The trees would be loaded with small orange fruit, which would stay on the tree for months, so there was no rush to pick them. They also explode with fragrant blossoms that the bees like. I remember one year when the tree came into full blossom while still loaded with fruit, and all the bees buzzing around it. I remember it being ridiculously easy to grow, and it needed little care. Unfortunately, I wouldn't plant one now, because citrus greening would most likely wipe it out.

I don't believe that I've ever had an ube, or purple sweet potato.

Boniato (Cuban sweet potato)?
