FFTG - I totally heart you
Jun 30th, 2009 by ella
Wait, I should rephrase that. FFTG - my tummy totally hearts you hehe. Once a month, I get my fix of this goody from Mary Grace Cafe. Minsan sa Icings. O kung saan-saang bake shop na lang, basta masayaran lang ang bibig ko ng sweet treat na ito which I think is the most heavenly (in my taste buds’ humble opinion lang po).
We foodies are like that. We crave like crazy for a particular food every so often. Akshuli, palusot po ito, masiba lang talaga ako hehe 
Wrong name
Medyo mali pa nga ang tawag nating mga Pinoy sa scrumptious dessert na ‘to. It’s only a date-nut bar, you see. Even the prep is pretty straightforward-no frills-baking. You mix the flour with the chopped dates and walnuts, add the eggs, sugar and honey, plop the resulting goo in a pan, pop in a preheated oven. Voila! Food For the effin’ Gods! Ambrosia worthy of its name.
Food For The Gods
Fyi, the original name-carrier of “Food For The Gods” is not this date-nut bar, guys, pero peyborit ko rin siya. Ito po ang makatulo-laway na CHEESECAKE.
In Roman history, cheesecake was offered to their gods Jupiter, Saturn, Ceres et al to appease them and ask for their blessings. Ang pangalan niya dati ay “placenta” ( major eeeew). But because “placenta” was so decadently delish, the cake was elevated to the level of food offering, thus the name “food for the gods”. Pagkaing pang-lagay sa mga jos, ika nga.
Food Of The Gods
Another food rumored to have connections with the “gods” is chocolate. Pero ang tawag naman sa kanya ay “Food Of The Gods”. The lowly mortal cannot offer this dark brown delight as bribe to the gods. Hindi na kailangan. Consuming this other decadent food is the natural birthright of all gods and goddesses. Pang-dugong bughaw ang dating niya, ika nga.
FFTG sa atin
Eniweys, balik tayo sa topic, sa Food For The Gods, Pinoy version. Yes, iba ‘to, guys. Feeling josah talaga ang byuti ko sa pagkaing ito. Para bagang walang karapatan ang mere mortals sa pamutat na ito ng mga jos. Bakit kamo? Hindi lang dahil saksakan siya ng sarap. Saksakan siya ng mahaaaal!
Isang maliit na pirasong slice (individually wrapped) will cost anywhere from P60 to P100. I mean maliit as in isang subo sa lalaki, dalawang kagat naman sa babae. Mabibitin ka lang kaya bibili ka tuloy ng isang kahon (na maliit din pero P400 and up).
Dahil ako’y nagtatangkang magtipid, I tried baking my own batch of FFTG.
Dates, sa Rustan ko nabili (ang hirap maghanap) P250+
Walnuts Rustan din P150 isang malit na lata
Honey P275 isang bote. Hindi ka naman makakabili ng 1/4 cup no
Nagtagumpay naman ako. Mas masarap siya sa mga commercially produced
O di vah? Now we know why we called it food for the gods and goddesses. Ginto ang ingredients niya
