The Tuba harvested in the morning will eventually get sour and sometimes bitter during late afternoon, old folks branded this Tuba as Bahal. A few days later it will turned very sour and acidic and old folks referred to it as Bahalina, Siete Palabras, and etc. … then a few more days it will become Suka or Vinegar.
Bahal as it is called is no longer pleasing to the taste, especially to the first timer. Folks who were curious enough tried to explore by mixing the Bahal with Eggs, Tableya (Local Chocolate made of pure Cacao Seeds), Milk, and Sugar to taste. In other words, Bahal plus Sikwate plus Eggs, now we have Kinutil in the making.
There are many versions of Kinutil, and folks in the provinces like in the Municipality of Catmon just don’t have the nerve to refuse any of these Kinutils. It was actually our favorite drink with my friends whenever I stayed in Catmon way back then, and in fact, there are many memories, good memories with my friends and the kinutil.
