San Nicolas cookies are soft and delicious. But they’re much more than a yummy treat to the people of the Philippines. These cookies-named after an Italian saint-are said to possess healing powers. Chef and food historian Atching Lillian Borromeo makes them using a recipe and intricate wooden moulds handed down by her ancestors. The main ingredient? Egg yolk. We’ll let Borromeo tell you the reason why.
This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.

My Kapampangan dad also cooks the same way (Atching Lilian is Kapampangan too). He doesn't use measuring tools and just tastes the mixture. If it doesn't taste right, he'll casually just throw in an ingredient or another just to achieve the right taste. There is no "precision" in cooking. It still ends up tasting amazing -- I swear, Kapampangans are naturally talented at cooking!

Back in my elementary years, on every feast day of St. Nicholas of Tolentino, in my Catholic uni in Cebu, Philippines, our teachers distributes one panecillo for each student. We would then say a prayer for the saint, moisten it with water (because it is very hard), and eat it while praying silently. Some of us would save the panecillo for our sick relatives at home. I really miss those days.

Like in the video for example it was shot in pampanga and they speak a different language. So they can't really speak it the same way people in my province/region speaks it (which is a Tagalog province). Although from what I've heard and seen Tagalog is more prevelant in the youth in some provinces(but don't take my word on that I just heard it from someone's)

I miss these. The Catholic parish where I was baptised is named after San Nicolas Tolentino. Devotion to the saint was brought to the country by the Augustinian Recollects and became popular especially with Chinese Filipinos. There's this story in the 17th century of a Chinese man attacked by a large crocodile while traversing the Pasig river, but San Nicolas saved him by turning the crocodile into stone. The Chinese thereafter converted to Catholicism. The place where it supposedly happened is now called Buayang Bato ('Stone Crocodile' in Tagalog), now a barrio of Mandaluyong City.

One time, she's about to fetch her grandchild in the nursery and I went to talk to her casually which involved about my love for food and the culture and the rich history of the place we both live in, Pampanga, I remembered too that passion you can feel coming from her. She's adorable!

She's speaking Filipino, a Philippine language (which is basically standardized tagalog language spoken by the tagalogs). English and Spanish words are included as well. However, Tagalog is not her mother tongue, she is from Pampanga and is a Capampañgan, hence her mother tongue is the Capampañgan language. The Capampañgan language itself has dialects like what I speak which is Capampañgan-Tarlaqueño which is subtly different from Capampañgan spoken in Floridablanca, San Simon or San Fernando, Pampanga. Same with subtle differences of different dialects of the tagalog language like Tagalog-Batangueño, and Tagalog-Caviteño. Moreover, there are hundreds of languages in the archipelago. It's like a Californian hearing english with a southern Texan accent. The 1987 Philippine Constitution includes English and Spanish as offical and optional language, respectively. Spanish was once spoken as lingua franca for centuries but it dwindeled during the US occupation and after the war in 1945. The Philippines or certain parts thereof were occupied by Spain from the 1500s to 1800s. US invaded and occupied the archipelago from 1902-1045. Most Filipinos are multilinguals, specifically trilinguals (except probably the tagalogs), speaking english, Filipino (standardized tagalog), and their owned respective language. There are minorities who still speak those aforementioned languages and Spanish.

It's not random though. It has its historical roots. English and Spanish are included as official and optional languages under the 1987 Philippine Constitution, respectively. The collective identity of Filipinos is fundamentally hispanic-asian. The culture is so non-homogenous that removing the colonial or indigenous aspect will be the cessation of the Filipino identity. Keep in mind that Atching Lilian is Capampañgan and speaks Tagalog in the video, therefore, she was not even speaking her mother tongue which is the Capampañgan language. The Philippines or certain parts thereof were occupied by Spain from the 1500s to 1800s. US invaded and occupied the archipelago from 1902-1045.

2:45 I am half Filipino and (i think, I could be wrong sorry if I am) but I think she is saying “so I/we don’t lose our home/(income)” The word bohai (I don’t know how to spell it) means home or income or lifestyle, at least that’s how it was used around me Edit: I listen to it again and it now sounds like “ so my bohai doesn’t die”

If it's income or lifestyle you'd say /hanap-buhay/ literally "find-life"

Hearing a completely foreign language with bits of English here and there is so weird.

Well that's how Filipinos are influenced by different cultures. We have borrowed words from chinese and spanish too, and we can communicate in English as well.

Under the 1987 Philippine Constitution, Filipino (which is basically standardized tagalog language) and English are national languages, Spanish and arabic are optional languages. Prior to 1987, Spanish was a lingua franca. Keep in my mind that The Philippines was under the American Commonwealth and was occupied from 1902 to 1945. If we did not gain independence, we would be like Puerto Rico today.

My "Great Big Question" is: when will a Filipino in this comment section post a recipe for these cookies? I want to try baking some now!

@FrizzleLamb 4 жыл бұрын

All I know is that it's an egg-yolk heavy recipe and unfortunately, it's an heirloom recipe so you can't really find it that easily online :(( Although there are dupes that you can copy and just adjust the recipe to your own liking. That is how Atching Lilian does it too, like any other Kapampangans: less measuring tools, more estimation and adjustment to your own taste! Just remember the rule that if it does not easily break when it falls, it's not a San Nicolas cookie.
