Filipino Food: Keeping Captives Alive Everywhere

I'm looking for a link, but this morning I was awakened by the dulcet tones of BBC World Service, analyzing the recent capture of a Saudi oil tanker by Somali pirates. While interesting in and of itself, the analyst noted that these pirates employ (in the "use" sense, since I can't clearly remember if they were captured or paid) Filipino cooks to make food for captives. One would assume that they feed them Filipino food, meaning that if anything, if you're a-hankerin' for some adobo, just get yourself on a tanker heading past Eyl.

In other news, while I've caught up with grading, I've also caught the wrath of my diss adviser who pressed me for "actual chapters". And with that, we're really writing the dissertation.
