Here is some background....My wife is a filipina...so therefore all food must be laid out and dispalyed on every countertop...I can’t explain this cultural madness but i am trying to tidy it up...call me insensitive but i like things to have their place....it is a running joke between us...Love her so! She did come from true poverty so i get the tick that she has.....If any freepers are married to a filipina please tell me that she is not crazy and it is just what it is.

Having glass fronts may be helpful then...so she can SEE everything?

Yes, got a Filipina too. They have their quirks, but I just accept it. Hopefully, they don’t get too Americanized.

I too am married to a Filipina. In my case, it was more of a necessity than to just display the food items - our house in Manila did not have any cabinets to store food, so everything was stacked on the counter. There is also a cultural aspect of wishing to “display” the food as somewhat of a status symbol (as explained by my wife).
