FIL: Tumutukoy sa paraan ng paghahanda ng pagkain, lalo na ang isda o karne, na hindi niluluto sa apoy kundi pinapahinog sa asim ng suka, kalamansi, o katulad na sangkap.
EN: raw (referring to food, especially seafood or meat)
This is the OG Filipino ceviche. It’s food that's "cooked" not by heat, but by the acid trip you give it with vinegar or calamansi juice. It's the state of being raw but getting ready to be delicious. Think of it as the 'in a relationship' status of fish before it becomes 'married' to the vinegar as 'kilawin'.
Often used as an adjective-like noun, as in "pagkaing kilaw" (raw food prepared in vinegar). Can be used interchangeably with "kilawin" to refer to the dish, but "kilaw" more accurately refers to the method or state.
🇵🇭 Ang isdang tanigue ay masarap gawing kilaw.
🇺🇸 Tanigue fish is delicious when prepared raw in vinegar.
🇵🇭 Hindi lahat ay sanay kumain ng pagkaing kilaw.
