Spicy tuyo with sinangag is a dish that's truly Pinoy and conjures up happy tummy memories. How do I share this experience with foreign friends who may not be so open to the strong flavours of our beloved Filipino tuyo dish?

Agree with Jacq! When I just moved to Sweden and was invited to international pot luck dinners in university or at work, I often worry about the level of spices in my food and would dull down my food. After a while, I stopped serving the bland versions of sambal, curries and rendang --- and guess what, they commented that those meals tasted wayyyy better than the ones I previously brought over. From then onwards, I stopped thinking twice over such things. I mean, I don't expect the Swedes to make their meatballs with a side of sambal for my sake right haha. They will definitely appreciate your authentic Philippines dish in all its glory :)

I would say, just make an authentic version and serve it to them. Love it or hate it, it's up to them. At least they got to try the real deal. ;)

If your friend is American, I think you'll have a hard time. Their food in the US is so bland. Maybe just start it out as side dish.

I fillet the tuyo (or buy gourmet tuyo in a jar) then sautee with garlic and onion then mix with pasta. They will love it.

Nagcrave tuloy ako ng tuyo... yummm, try mo po sila patikman ng gourmet tuyo muna

Make spicy tuyo fried rice? That may help
