Tuyo in the Philippines

It's one of the first meals that I had with Hive account@awesomenyl: rice, tuyo, and vinegar.

Now, as a Cuban-American dude from Miami, FL, I'm used to having rice daily - normally with black beans, red beans, or some sort of beans. In the Philippines, though, we tend to have rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (no beans).

Tuyo is a dried, salted fish, and we usually fry it until it's crispy. Hive account@awesomenyl says it's known as a poor person's food, but hey: we like it. Each packet below goes for 10 pesos (about $0.21) at the sari-sari store down the block.

A poor person's food...a rich person's food...who cares? It's good stuff.

I like it.
