Chris brought this on, but I've seen a couple of "Filipino" foods that are used in Mexican cooking.

Yes, I know the history - Mexico & the Philippines were invaded about the same time by Spain.

Whatever. Bump that mess.

My BF made "Guisado" thinking he was being all Flip and junk, and he probably was. He probably doused the stuff in Soy Sauce with Calamansi or whatever. But.. IDK. I didn't watch.

And seriously, all I had to do was heat up some corn tortillas and it was totes Mexican.

I also found the "Adobo" seasoning in his pantry when I moved in.

It just rocks my socks that ish is so similar though in several instances.
