Scrumptious Seafood Boodle Fight Dinner

Yummylicious seafood overload prepared by my family. A boodle fight meal is "a military practice of eating" where you share several types of food in a row that is served and spread on top of the banana leaves.

My family cooked seafood meal, crab, shrimps, tuna, octopus, grilled fish, oysters, it is really a food heaven for me hahah because I do love seafood.

In the Filipino history, military cadets use their hands without any utensils or plates, they have to remain quiet and unseen from their enemy. The term Boodle Fight represents "brotherhood" whatever rank you have, you may eat together equally when signalled, they have to eat as much as they can and fast as possible. No wonder the term means "fight for food".

Nowadays, Boodle Fight is becoming quite popular for some special occasions, gatherings or celebrations. We use the word "kamayan" to eat food using our hands, from the Filipino term "kamay" meaning "hand". They believe that if you eat the food with your hand whether using a plate without any utensils, it makes the food tastes better.
