@chamorrito.....i'm here in the states and unfortunately unable to research Guam food at the research center on Guam or at the main library. I have a few history books where I found Guam was the only Pacific island to grow rice before the Spanish era.....thanks for sharing and as with kuraku3, you are helping us to learn more about our history!

I've never had champulado w/ cream of rice, masa, cinnamon or vanilla. I share what I grew up with....central and northern Guam, keeping it as simple as possible. Families use what they have at hand.....

How much of each measurement did you use?

[CHAM0RRITO]

Many dont realize how much Chamorro food changed after the war. The processed foods brought in by americans didnt allow chamorros to prepare the traditional ways. So we adapted and standardized the methods in order to make them easier to make with the newly imported food products My mother always tells me that prewar &post war Chamorro food is very different. Tamales made in aluminum foil. Chalakilis with cream of rice. Finadene with soysauce. All post war Guam foods that didnt exist before.

@ACxD2011 Champalado is a mispronunciation of the word CHAMPURRADO. Many mexican foods arrived in Guam during the Spanish colonial times. Many mexicans arrived aboard spanish ships that sailed across the pacific during that time. They introduced new foods to the islanders and those foods have become traditional foods in Guam. Other examples of mexican foods that are common in Guam include: tortillas, tamales, atole, and chilaquiles.

yummm! this is a filipino favorite too!

[CHAM0RRITO]

cream of rice is actually better to use than rice. Champaladu should be more of a drink than a porridge. consistency should be more like a thickened hot chocolate. it tastes good with cinnamon also. or vanilla flavored with cinnamon. even coconut milk added can be another variety. but cream of rice or corn masa actually is much better consistency and easier to drink because of its creaminess.

[kuraku3]

based on the mexican drink, champurrado, which is one type on atole drink. in guam corn masa was also used and was actually more common than the use of rice. after the war, the corn culture disappeared and Imported) rice became the main staple in most chamorro homes.
