Apparently, #Marikina has their own take on luncheon meat, they call "Everlasting," which I never heard of before.
If folktales are to be believed, they last "forever," or until they're finally consumed, without the need for refrigeration. Also said to be a popular dish during community feasts.
The folks who gave it to me, described them as similar to embutido, but the mouth feel is closer to home-made luncheon meat.

Haha. You need experience. I don't trust my smell when it comes to expired food… if it is not within my range of good taste/smell, it's “panis” in my mind. LOLs.
And whenever I'm eating a local food and it smells that way, I always had to apologise. “It's my nose, not your food.”

Wow.
That had been on my mind for a couple of days, and I finally found it - there's a lot of meanings for it, an etymologically diverse and robust word.
In the context given, it was pretty much precisely what I thought it meant

@tallship@social.sdf.org Oh yes, that one! I've been trying to remember the English translation of #panis in the context of food, but failed.
