Tuba



This is our local 'wine' called tuba that comes from the coconut tree. The Tagalogs have their white lambanog version which is not fully fermented like our version. What also makes ours red is the 'barok', a red bark which is added during the fermenting process. If you ever go to Leyte, you'll find the best tuba in Palo (12 km from Tacloban). Although that's open to debate.. What's not open to debate is that drinking tuba can make you drunk.

And I thought you were showing us bottles of Coca-Cola! Interesting information. Sounds like a good drink!

Cheers!

Is it any good? I didn't like lambanog that much, so much for being Tagalog. Is it very similar in taste?
