FIL: Isang maliit na porsyon ng pagkain na inihahain bago ang pangunahing putahe upang pampagana.
EN: appetizer; side dish
The opening act before the main concert of your meal. Think of it as the 'pampagana'—the kropek, the cheese sticks, or the small bowl of peanuts you munch on while waiting for the sinigang. It's the food that tells your stomach, "Get ready, something bigger is coming!"
Origin is uncertain, but likely from 'pa-' + 'putat'. 'Putat' can mean to cut or pick, which fits the idea of small food portions.
Often used for small side dishes or starters. Can sometimes be interchanged with 'pampagana'.
