Boodle fight is a military tradition in the philippines where soldiers would eat their meals standing or sitting with one hand behind their backs and using the other to eat the meal as fast as possible, every man for himself. Originally this was practiced so soldiers can eat fast and be on the go in times of hightened alerts.

How i wished every filipino abroad do this to their foreign friends! Its a great bond and also to introduce the filipino cuisine in the world! Our food is so underated!

We love you. Thank you for promoting our Filipino foods. You’re special and a true Filipina eventhough your away from our native land.

This is one of the few types of communal eating activities in the world that makes you think twice about reaching for your smartphone. That's actually a good thing! This means that since your fingers are covered in sauce, you dare not put that all over your smartphone's screen, right? But more importantly, this enables everyone at the table to actually spend more time bonding together and truly enjoying the food with no aftertaste of metal cutlery or splinters from wooden chopsticks (or the awkwardness for those not used holding a pair of chopsticks!) instead of looking at their smartphones (as you would normally see in other restaurants). Feeling the different textures and smelling the food gives one a truly 3D gastronomical experience. Well done, Ella! More power to your team and thanks to the Tita and her cooking staff for a wonderful meal!!!

Boodle fight symbolizes unity and brotherhood!

Also worth mentioning this isn't a regular thing for Filipinos. We only get to try this at fiestas or in the province. It's romanticized a lot abroad. For regular get togethers, family-style on platters and individual plates is it.

i love it when i saw Filipino restaurants with a Tita Auntie Lola Serving , it really feels like home

the one who ate the tilapia tail is epic. Filipinos love that part. crispy!!!🤤🤤🤤

Nice to be proud filipino ,glad to see how you share our traditional boodle fight to your friends.godbless always .

I like how these girls love filipino food..

Yeah Ella is like ambassadress of Pinoy food....

Those are just our staple foods, wait til you try what we prepare when we have special occassions,..its the bomb!

Everything on that table must be eaten with small amount of rice and bingo it taste heaven .Bravo Ella truly a pinay beauty with a kind heart.

Boodle fight will break the barrier, and make your team stronger during battles.

I salute you for promoting our wonderful cuisine that's been perfected by years..keep the good job and god bless you..I as a Filipino proud of you.✌️

That tilapia is so tempting. It is making me hungry, along with the sawsawan which is soy sauce with spiced vinegar with chopped garlic, onion, and chili peppers. Ummm yummy

Fun! I’m glad they all enjoyed the experience and food 😊 Ang bait mga workers sa restaurant

Kamayan style dining is also known as a "Boodle Fight", named after the Filipino"army style" of eating. After a long day of marching, soldiers would eat off of banana leaves in the native tradition since they couldn't carry plates and utensils with them easily. This is the origin according to Google.

I enjoyed your Filipino boodle fight vlog, Ella!!! 💖💖

I really enjoyed looking at your black friend enjoying eating the filipino foods. I love her.

Great vlog! So glad they like filipino dishes. There's more to try. Amazing and Beautiful ladies especially you Ella :)

Oh yeah, I remember you! Southeast Asian Games. No. 5 with good handles, better shooter, great defender. 👍👍

The way they are eating the porks and shanghaisss without rice huhuhu Im crying for them 😭😭😂 we filipinos can't enjoy a full meal without rice

Boodle fight is one of the best ways to eat with a group. It's very much prevalent in the military in the Philippines, especially when they have events in camps.

I like the friendship their. Its the most beautiful thing in the world, no racist

Hey Sis, thank you for repping pinoy food to your friends. :) !

Life has been so hard these days and food prices have gone up. I hope that it won't be wasted. A lot of people get hungry and Filipino farmers work so hard and get so little. I hope leftovers just be given to dogs so as not to be wasted.

Boodle fight is a military tradition, to eat foods together regardless of ranks especially the officers and the enlisted personnels.. Just to enjoy and have good rapport and camaraderie among all troops.

Not necessarily applicable nowadays, but you’re only “supposed” to eat with your eating hand, and not your “washing” hand. That’s why in some places, they used to cut off the right hand if you were caught stealing, so when you eat, you’re using your washing hand - the hand that cleans everything…even your behind after going #2!

boodle fight. Kamayan, also known as kinamot or kinamut in Visayan languages,or kinamay in Tagalog is the traditional Filipino method of eating with the bare hands. It is also used to describe the Filipino communal feast where food is served on banana leaves and eaten without utensils.

Thanks

Looking forward to an exhibition game between your two teams Ella, lezzzgo!😉
