I think a photo or two would serve well. And I might just add them soon. Andrew Powell 22:08, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps "tomatoey" should be changed to something else, like "tomato-based" or "tomato-flavored"?72.58.115.177 (talk) 01:18, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

There is no such word as irregardless: "Indeed, adobo is eaten by virtually all Filipinos, irregardless of social standing" User:72.225.39.253 19:36, April 11, 2006

Fixed. If you see a typo you may go ahead and fix it. irregardless usually just means regardless in context. Andrew Powell 17:44, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Made a minor correction in the following statement: "Other ingredients such as squid, ... string beans, and water spinach (damo) are also made into adobo..." Water spinach in Filipino/Tagalog is kangkong. Antifornicator (talk) 20:58, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] References for "Popularity"

I've tagged the "Popularity" section with the "unreferenced" tag because some of the points raised there may be statements of opinions rather than statements of facts.

For example:

During the 1990s, a Philippine instant food company, Nissin-Monde, made an adobo-flavored instant stir-fry noodle. The product has met a limited commercial success, though, given its strong ties to Philippine culture.

There are as many versions of adobo as there are Filipino families...It is for all intents and purposes the national dish of the Philippines.

Curiously enough, [apl.de.ap]'s native northern Philippine province of Pampanga, is where adobo originated from, with the original recipe consisting of only vinegar and no soy sauce. The versatile Adobo has since evolved to please the palates and practical needs of many.

(Emphases added)

If you feel that the tagging was unjustified, please let me know and let's discuss how we can resolve this concern. --- Tito Pao 20:44, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
