They say it depends where you're from
as long as you don't miss the meat,
(sometimes I prefer pork)
soy sauce and vinegar,
garlic (as much as you can peel)
bay leaves (a couple, maybe) and
peppercorns.
They like to tell me where I'm from
as long as they smell the added sugar,
the occasional potatoes, the mix of
chicken and pork. And through my teeth,
I tell them that there is nothing that different
about me.

Prompt: Adobo. Depending where in the Philippines you're from, the taste and ingredients change, but it's still adobo. Kind of like people. I may not look it, I may not always sound it, but I am Filipino none the less. Through and through.
Sorry for the late upload! Was incredibly busy last week trying to adjust to a new part-time job. I also had a really hard time with this prompt, haha.
