In this episode, we get to know more about Tausug cuisine through Nina, one of my closest grad school friends. Nina dishes out informative insights on the  dynamics of labelling and naming of food and cuisine, and how it is one way to achieve peace in the most literal sense. As a Tausug and an active NGO worker who works in youth and women's initiatives to advance the peace process, Nina is our resource in our quest to learn what represents the food of the People of the Current. A distinct, discrete and unique Tausug food identity is central to keeping the community strong despite having a large part of its population forming part of a diaspora due to ongoing conflicts in the Sulu archipelago. And expect a special guest appearance by Baby Samara, who interjects here and there to give us her piece on protecting food heritage for the future generations... or at least that's what I think she was saying.
