Some travelers savor every opportunity to try all manner of foreign cuisine on their adventures, no matter how unusual or outside their everyday experience the dish may be. Others cling to the universal choices of worldwide fast food chains like a lifeline to the familiar.

In my adulthood the tables have turned and it'll be a cold day in hell before either of my parents try any of the dishes I experienced on the 30 Postcards food tour of Manila.

In an 8,000-calorie all-you-can-eat extravaganza, I was exposed to all manor of Filipino cuisine and we captured the entire thing on film.
