辛加洛和比科拉诺 Sinigang and Bicolano: Sourness as Identity

Sinigang — the sour tamarind soup that is arguably the most emblematic Filipino dish after adobo — exemplifies the Filipino prioritisation of sourness as the primary flavour dimension. The sourness of sinigang (from tamarind, calamansi, green mango, or kamias — any of a variety of souring agents) is not background flavour but the defining characteristic.
