Which is why I said, "let's pass it under Glen's nose".

OK. I learned something today.  
 
 DD> 6 tb Apple cider vinegar

 GJ> Palm vinegar is usual.

As the dish was made in America - palm vinegar is fairly rare and cider vinegar
much more common. That is an understandable substitution.

The recipe was automatically suspect as it was from Cook's Illustrated - a
*VERY* pretentious effort published is support of the artsy-fartsy (and also
uber-pretentious) sort-of cooking show on National Public Radio -- "America's
Test Kitchen". The (ahem) person who runs both would have been a proctor's nark
in an English Public School - if you get my meaning.   Bv)=

Uuuuuhhhhh, approved by me, as well.
 
Searching through my listings of adobo - I find only one which has ginger as an
ingredient. And it has coconut milk as well. There is another with coconut milk
but no ginger titled as "Adobong Manok". This is the one I have made a couple
times and was enjoy by my guests both times ...
