Ang Pagbabalik ng mga Orihinal na Bagay sa Pakil

Ano nga ba ang ibig kong sabihin an ibalik ang mga orihinal na bagay sa Pakil? Kung itatanong ninyo sa mga matatandang taga-Pakil marami silang maikukwento sa inyo. Katulad na lang ng "PINAIS". ito ay giniling na hipon at ginawang parang bibingka. E kung pangangalagaan natin ang resiping ito, maaaring magamit ito ng mga taga-pakil bilang isang imahe ng bayan. Ang inig kong sabihin ay maraming turista sa Pilipinas na ang hanap ay pagkain. Katulad sa Antipolo ay "suman" gayon din sa "Bohol".

Kung tutuusin ang iba ay pumupunta at dumarayo sa Los Banos para sa Buko Pie. halimbawang sabihin nating malayo. Alam nyo ba na kung nasa Bagiuo kayo, ang iba ay pumupunta pa sa Benguet para bumili ng strawberry. E kung ang turista ay nasa Pagsanjan e di ilang minuto lang nasa Pakil na para dayuhin ang mga orhinal na pagkain dito.
