PRESERVATION
Food processing evokes in most people’s minds memories of
their grandmothers or stories they have heard about other people’s
grandmothers or perhaps a neighbor. It is an old fashioned thing to
do – almost a lost of art. Something no one considers anymore nor
has time for. True for many peoples life styles. It is an opportunity
to control over the quality of food you nourish yourself with. Less
chemicals, less salt, less or no sugar and just the way you like it.
Some people preserve food to make up a few seasoning pastes,
good food, interesting and perhaps exotic, but quickly prepare
meals. You can avoid the boiling water of preserving by freezing the
food, for preserving vegetables or fresh fruits, the procedure are
much different and require a far longer processing time

CONTRIBUTION OF EXOTIC FOODS TO THE
PROVINCIAL TOURISM
There are local restaurants and carinderias who serve local
cuisine and the exotic foods of the province. All people of
Pangasinan are great cooks, there are lots of foods in Panagasinan
especially the goat meat dishes, kaldereta, ”kilawin” and igado
that’s why many people want to visit Pangasinan and also to see
the main pilgrimage centers of Pangasinan the shrine of Our Lady of
Manaoag, the shrine of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Divine Treasure
in Calasiao and Saint Dominic de Guzman Parish Church in San
Carlos City. Also the foreigners want to experience the Bangus
Festival, Pista’y Dayat (Festival of the Sea), and some others, and
11. 11
Pangasinan are also known for local dishes like Bagoong and
Bangus and others special delicacies. In Pangasinan lots of insects
were cooked in some festivals worms that were still movinf and raw
sea foods being served up and the foreigners was disgusted when
they see people eating worms. These events were very helpful in
the improvement of Provincial Tourism
(www.tumahgoogles.blogspot.com).
CONCLUSION
Tourists experience culture shock when they at last have
coverage to taste these food stuffs; they discover a new world of
food and realize that they are totally ignorant about tasty meals.
We are strongly accustomed to what we eat that when we see other
people eating unusual to us, we experience disgust in the majority
of cases. But when it goes about snakes and something else of this
kind, we lose appetite at once. Imagine a vegetarian watching our
eating meat. Try to imagine his/her feelings. It will look abominably
to this person. That is why when you make a tour to some Asian
country, be open-minded and don’t dash aside from exotic food.
Taste it and then make a conclusion how it taste. Maybe it is the
only time you can taste that the dish in your whole life.
