natnateng, dinengdeng, inabraw: ilokano life is life is vegetable (1)

Most Ilokanos "can't live without" and therefore literally lives on vegetables or anything that's edible in the plant kingdom and exclusively cooked or served and eaten with bugguong. Though of course meat lovers, they still prefer their meat dishes paired with a vegetable dish or two especially when the meat is fatty (like pork). Veggies serve as an appetizer as well as a neutralizer of sort to "balance" intake of "sinful" food, i.e. fatty and red meat.

And here are various vegetables in various preparation and presentation in their dinengdeng/inabraw form:

Sarabat (large ferns) a napakbet iti salamagi ken kamatis.
