Most people across the globe were left perplexed by the Google Doodle today, March 15, which celebrated a famous Filipino dish, Adobo. While Google Doodle is an animation used to educate the world about a range of topics, it is also used as a way to mark global events, holidays, and personalities. In today’s Doodle, Google commemorated Philippine cuisine – Filipino adobo.

Why is Filipino adobo celebrated today?

This day holds significant importance as it marks the inclusion of the term 'adobo' in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) for the first time in December 2006. Later, it was added to the list of words in the next quarterly update of the OED, which was released on today's date in 2007.
Filipino Adobo is a delectable treat that is renowned for its savoury taste and hint of sweetness. It is commonly served alongside steamed rice or mashed potatoes. The components used in preparing this dish may vary based on the region, but typically involve marinating meat, seafood, or vegetables in soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic.
However, the dish comes in different styles and is not limited to a single recipe. For instance, there are several variations of the dish, such as "adobo sa gata" (adobo with coconut milk) which has a soupy or saucy consistency and contributes a creamy and slightly sweet flavour to the dish. Essentially, it employs the same ingredients, but with different culinary twists.
