EN: soft food for babies; mush
Baby food, basically. Before there was Cerelac, there was 'pap'. It's that mushy, bland-looking stuff you feed to someone who can't handle a steak just yet—either a baby or your lolo without his pustiso (dentures).
From Spanish 'papa' (potato), which was generalized to mean any soft, mashed food.
This word is becoming less common in urban areas, often replaced by brand names or more specific terms like 'lugaw' or 'baby food'.
