This is a pot of fat called balbacoa: ox feet and fat simmered with peanuts. Balbacoa also means "this dish is off the hoof" in Bisaya. Another dish fat people like me might enjoy is another bisaya dish called humba: braised pork belly stew with brown sugar. Yea, fat and sugar. I often mistake this with Pumba, that pig from Lion King, because they're both brown and look good in a pot.
Unfortunately you can only afford to eat these kinds of dishes once a month because a human being can only consume about 50% of his own body fat. Anymore and you might as well perform reverse liposuction on yourself. With that said, enjoy as much fat as you can, because you're gonna die.
Inspired by another hot Giada de Laurentiis episode in which she makes Nutella-filled wontons, I decided to go and try making them myself, thinking that she would appear out of nowhere and congratulate me on my efforts to be just like her. After which point we'd make love and have Filipino-Italian babies who make really good Pansit and meatballs. I love you Gloria or Giada whatever your name is. Photo courtesy of a Giada stalker site.
