The “boodle fight” will take on a gigantic proportion with a new bid in Dubai to create a world record for the popular Filipino food spread. The new bid for world’s biggest seafood boodle fight is part of the Seafood Fest UAE at Waterfront Market in Deira on December 1. The boodle fight was popularized by the military and refers to a style of eating where heaps of rice and viands are spread on top of banana leaves or in the middle of the table for diners to grab and eat with their bare hands. In the military, this style of eating symbolizes camaraderie and equality. The culinary experience has gained popularity among Filipino diners, with Filipino restaurants, including those in the UAE, featuring it in their menus. GAD/Expat Media
