Kamayan Feast/Budol Fight, 2024 41 inches x 20.5 inches acrylic on canvas Original Painting by Marianne Valdez This version of a kamayan feast is considered “healthier” than most because there is no barbecue or lechon. Still delicious in my mind’s eye, a fresh seafood spread with an array of fried bangus (milkfish), grilled/dried fish (tuyo), mussels, cooked shrimp, mangoes, salted egg, okra, and a soy sauce dip with a mixture of calamansi served on a bed of fluffy white rice. I can’t wait for the next time I’ll gather with my relatives and everyone down the block to enjoy a full meal.
