Planting rice and eating in a banana leaf with family - BOODLE FIGHT FEAST

We plant rice two times a year. When the rainy season comes during June, it's a sign for us to plant rice in the rice fields. We harvest rice in the months of October and November . We plant rice again in the month of December and harvest it next year on the months of March and April when the dry season begins.
Today, let's work on the rice fields together with the hardworking locals. Let's uproot and transplant the young rice plants in the rice field.
To feed my family, we made a feast for dinner-a boodle fight feast!

What is a Boodle Fight?
Essentially, this is a Filipino tradition that involves various foods splayed out on a table. Now this would often be placed on banana leaves so you know that you have a nice and clean surface for your dishes. But you absolutely cannot forget one of the most important parts of the boodle fight- absolutely no utensils should be used. That means your spoon and fork, and even chopsticks, should be out of the way. That is the fun of eating the boodle fight way!
But where does the “fight” part come in? Well, this actually began as a Philippine military tradition during the period of American colonization in the Philippines. And the word “boodle” was army slang for certain treats. And so the beauty of the boodle fight is also in multiple people coming together to eat a great feast! Since Filipinos truly value the idea of sharing when it comes to food, the idea of the boodle fight came to life.
In a nutshell, if you ever were to host a boodle fight, don’t forget to prepare various dishes- mostly grilled ones- on banana leaves. And with a group of people, get ready to chow down using your hands! All the fun is in the way we get to eat our favorite dishes together. But I have a few more recommendations if you want to do your first or next boodle fight in the best way.

Wow sarap Ng mga ulam ..Ganda Ng pgkagawa Ng boddle fight

[@nicolesdiaryyy]

By watching your video, na-realize ko na ang arte arte ko na pala talaga. As a woman living in the city, kahit na pangarap kong mamuhay ng simple gaya ng ginagawa niyo, ang hirap pala ma-achieve dahil ang daming tukso dito sa syudad. Mga materyal na bagay, obssesing over social status, endless work para kumita ng pera... i dream of living a life like yours kapag stable na ako at may sariling pamilya - simple lang pero masaya at sama sama. Thank you for always reminding me of this dream i have inside of me 🤍 i've been a subscriber for a year now 😊 God bless you, Gayyem Ben 🤍

[@gayyembenph]

I wish you the best po. Sana matupad mo lahat ng pinapangarap mo. Hindi ko rin masisi ang mga taong pumupunta ng lungsod para maghanap-buhay o doon na tumira. Mahirap din talaga kasi ang buhay dito Lalo kung wala kang lupa/bukid. It's okay to look for a greener pasture, ika nga. Ingat ka po palagi.

[@nicolesdiaryyy]

@@gayyembenph thank you, gayyem ben!! i'm a huge fan and sana 'wag ka mapapagod mag-upload!! hehe 🤗🤍

Traditional Filipino family life indeed still exists. Missed yesteryears so much. Beautiful ❤

[@thelthellie492]

Planting rice is hard work, even harvesting involves manual hard work too. Thank you to our hard working farmers, without them there will never be rice. Rice is life ❤
I don’t know how they do here in Australia I haven’t seen a rice field here? Their no 1 staple here is potato & cattle (meat). Their diet here consists mostly either meat, vegetables, salads, bread, seafoods etc…

[@neffjancab]

Galing nyo naman, natutuwa yung papa nyo sa inyo habang naga arrange ng pagkain

[@peaceonmotherearth1728]

You are 💯 correct we need a farmer everyday of our lives. Without farmers in the world the majority of the people would be sick due to lack of fresh produce, I'd rather eat fresh food than canned food. Thank you and your family for your kindness and hard work. Very very good video.

[@leabantican4892]

priceless moment 😊❤.i missed my family they all gone we're just only 2left ,alive .my brother & i.and I'm soo far away fr.my one and only brother 😢.so live free & intact family always coz you'll nevercknow until when it will be last. stay together always & stay happy that is the secret of long life 😊.God bless ur family!

Oh yes, plowing the fields and planting rice it brings me a lot of my Lolo's memory whenever we go to his farmlands❤. And definitely here in our country, is the season of wet again ,w/c means every farmers in their own farmlands gathered to cultivate the staples of our nation esp. rice. Thank you for such vlog ,my memories just got refreshed again when my grandparents are still alive. Keep planting my friend and let the hunger problems in our country be no more. Salute to you and your family. And definitely its my pleasure, and honor to be very proud that I, myself is also a countryside young- man born and raised by a family of farmers. 😊😊😊
