My Filipino mother-in-law is in town this weekend and when she visits she always preps something new and interesting for us. Often the combos fall into this thread's purview, like the time she dusted some purple yams with coconut flakes and sugar.

Today it was jicama slices soaked in white rice vinegar. You can't eat just one.

Both of those sound divine

I can confirm

Was the jicama cooked or anything? Just raw?

Raw dog

I believe I’ll try it. Any idea how long they soaked?

Just dipped in. Cut the jicama, pool some vinegar at the bottom of the bowl. That way you get the crunch.

I’ve done almost the same thing with cucumber. Mix white vinegar with sugar then dip fresh cucumber slices in the mixture.

Oh nice. Speaking my language.

You gotta let that cucumber marinate/pickle in that, pal.

Nope. Not at all

Spike also calls Frito pies "walking tacos"

This was a staple side dish at my Grandma’s growing up. I want to say sour cream was also involved sometimes. Delicious.

I ain’t gonna simp for Frito Lay like a sucker.
