Let's Eat!
If you encounter a Filipino eating, that's the invitation you'll get:
"Let's eat!"
In the Filipino language, it's "kain tayo" (ka-in ta-yo,) and it's an invitation for
you to share the food in front of them, even if it's only good for one.
Visit a Filipino in their home and you'll immediately be asked, "have
you eaten?" The polite answer is 'yes,' because they will otherwise
prepare a meal for you. And insist that you eat it.
At the heart of these greetings is a deep culture of community, of looking
after each other. It's the reason Filipinos have a reputation for being
so friendly and hospitible, and so generous. They have a genuine concern for the
welfare of others and an unquestioning willingness to share.
That's why Turo-Turo Philippine Cafe uses the phrase "let's eat!" in
a lot of its advertising! An invitation for you to come and share in
that Filipino warmth,
hospitality, and food!
