Laying off the sweet stuff

I was at an MCLE (mandatory continuing legal education) class a few months ago and the woman next to me, a friend of a friend, offered me some candy.

I politely said no.

The next day, she offered me chocolate. Same response from my end.

On the third day, for merienda, she handed me an ensaymada. I declined yet again.

At this point I could sense she was getting frustrated with me, so I explained, "I'm not a big fan of sweets." (Which you wouldn't guess if you took one look at me.)

My seatmate obviously thought the same thing and then asked, so what are you a big fan of?

"Sinigang."
