JOSE RIZAL ATE TUYO FOR BREAKFAST

Rizals breakfast menu would often include: Hot chocolate

A cup of rice

Sardinas Secas

FOR LUNCH..
Rizal had rice and ayungin.

As Rizal travelled to Europe, he was usally broke necause his allowance would take a long time to arrive from the Philippines.

Jose Alejandro, who travelled with him in Belgium, stated that Rizal was thrifty; Rizal would always ask the hotel for the cost of room rental with and without breakfat.

Rizal would often choose the room without breakfast, to save money for alcohol, tea, and a box of biscuits.

Often, Rizal would divide the box of biscuits equally between himself and his roommate. Alejandro could not stick to the system and ate his 30-day ration in only 15 days, while Rizal kept to his 30-day ration.

In gambling and gossip sessions, they often had pancit.

WHILE IN EXILE IN DAPITAN

Rizal wrote to Trinidad, telling the family about Josephine Bracken who cooks, washes, sews, and takes care of the chickens in the house In the absence of miki for making pancit, she made a kind of long macaroni noodles out of flour and eggs. If you could send me a little angkak, she could make me bagoong; she also makes chili miso but it seems to me that what we have will last us for ten years

RIZALS STINGINESS
Rizal was kuripot and he was proud of it. Rizal kept a log of his expenses In Germany, Rizal would often leave his apartment during lunch and dinner time and walk around the city, peeking and salivating while watching people in restaurants and bars. When he had walked for an hour or two, he would return to his apartment to give the impression to his landlady that he had gone out and eat. Once in a party in New York, he was asked to buy champagne. Before the party was over, he tried to ask everyone to pay for what he had spent.

RIZALS CLINIC
Valenzuelas description of Rizals Clinic: The doctor invited me to visit the hospital, where we stayed for an hour. In the hospital I found boric acid solution, solution of bichloride of mercury, tincture of iodine, silver nitrate solution, alcohol, and other drugs I do not remember, a low table and a high one made of wood, two beds and some chairs all made of bamboo. The doctor told me that he used boiling water and alcohol to disinfect his instruments in surgical cases. He also told me that the biggest and most intelligent pupils assisted him in the operation; that he had successfully operated on two Moros, one for inguinal hernia and other for hydrocele

THE GREAT DAPITAN STOCKING MARKET
