V is for Venes! In Batanes gabi leaves and stalks are cooked with pork and/or patola (but you can make it meatless too). Laing, a more well-known dish from Bicol, is similar and cooked with sili and coconut milk. Venes and laing are two of many dahon ng gabi dishes in the country. In fact, gabi or taro was already enjoyed in the Philippines and across the Pacific long before the Spanish arrived. In Hawaii they call gabi leaves luau, and in Tahiti they are called fafa.
