Filipino Food
I've got a filipino relative who keeps saying, "Did you know that the Philippines has the number 1 culinary school in the world?"
So my first thought is, "Bullshit. If you had a top-ranked school, why would you put it in a country like the Philippines?"
So being doubtful, because I tend to find that many filipinos (especially adults) kind of CLING ON to any news that shows the Philippines in even the slightest light, I did just some quick research and found the International School for Culinary Arts and Hotel Management (ISCAHM) and the Center for Culinary Arts (CCS) in the Philippines. The ISCAHM was rated in some year, in the Philippines, to be the top culinary school... in the Philippines.
So I think this is what my relative heard and misinterpreted it to be THE NUMBER ONE CULINARY SCHOOL IN THE WOOOORLD.
Because every search I did for the top culinary schools in the world, did NOT even mention any school in the Philippines... it often mentioned New York or California or some place in France or someplace... someplace NOT in the Philippines.
So someone correct me if I'm wrong (with a source)... but there's no way the Philippines has the number 1, or even a HIGH RANKED culinary school in the world.
It's not even just my bias, but why would a school planning to be great, choose a place of corrupted and poor country?
Okay, but for my bias part, who here who ISN'T filipino, actually thinks filipino food is great? I don't mean just one or two things, but as a cuisine, who thinks it's good?
I don't know why I go on this filipino rants sometimes.... I guess it just bugs me sometimes when I hear a Filipino relative SO EASILY cling on to a misinterpretation without thinking about it and just accepting it to be the truth, because he/she is filipino and roots for ANYTHING filipino-related.
PS. If you're a proud filipino, this is meant to be at no offense, it's just my opinion. Feel free to start friendly debate. :3
