Ati 8!!!!!! Swallows use their spit to make their nests. And that's where the yummy bird's nest from the bird's nest soup comes from. Seryus!

 

I like balut but can't hack that hirsute feeling in my mouth so I content myself with the broth --- now that's truly yumyum! Oh and I have to eat penoy.

 

I luvvvvvv spam --- oh great pink meat! There's a resto in Canada that serves only Spam --- a million ways I think. Although I don't think I would ever enjoy spam cheesecake :sick:

 

Snails are yummy too. Ginataang kuhol!

I love snails and ginataang kuhol. The spicier the better!

 

I love lengua. It's meat that melts in your mouth if cooked properly.

Lengua .. yum! Unfortuately good lengua is hard to come by nowadays

I know. It's not the same anymore. My grandma makes the best lengua ever. Too bad she doesn't cook it as much as she used to. I always wanted to learn how to cook it. I tried the lengua dish at Dad's before and I was just so damn disappointed.

EXOTIC FOOD? I discovered this recipe from an old yedish manual in my friend's ancestral home

1 cup red snapper eye balls

1/4 kilo goat pancreas, thinly sliced

2 green pepper, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1/2 cup green peas

4 white onions, chopped

1/2 cup Cabarnet

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup oyster sauce

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp ground white pepper

 

DIRECTIONS

 

Saute the garlic and the onions together with the red and green pepper. Add the horse brain and goat pancreas. When the meat is golden brown, add the red snapper eye balls and the goat earwax. Proceed to add the sauce sauce. Simmer for ten mintes. Add the green peas, oegano and ground white pepper, then simmer for another five minutes. Remove the mixture from the fire then set aside for five mintes or until like warm in temperature. Add the 2 eggs then mix well.

Have anyone tried the saliva of the swallow? It is considered a health food. It tastes good but very expensive. Because you can only find it in a place (usually a cave) where the swallows spit them out before they die. You can buy them in Chinatown.

oh this is birds nest

 

you can get them here, in fact we export them (illegal from what i last heard) Dept of Ag is trying to find ways to do sustainable harvesting not sure if this is in place

 

el nido the famous resort is literally the place to get them hence the name

 

has some viagratic! (word of the day) effects supposed to be

 

otherwise quite expensive with suttle taste like no other, youcan get them in other expensive chinese restaurants not only downtown

[bustero]

when i was in HK, i was told by chinese boss that the fetus thingy is a hoax.... but they do eat lotsa weird stuff there... :sick:

 

i never knew the snakes had to be aggitated that way before u draw the blood... i was told to eat snake bile marinated in some chinese wine or something like that, to cleanse my system daw. well, it sure did... :sick: i threw up BIG TIME!

haha takes a strong stomach to keep that one down, keeps you warm in winter though, that's why you won't see much of it in summertime

 

actually if you go to HK soon, take the happy valley tram to it's last stop, there's a restaurant there called the 999, it's the only one around , end of the valley, big fish tanks outside, its a chinese place but bring some french bread and wine (preferable red me thinks) and order their chinese lobster thermidore, quite unbelievable, ( a HK friend of mine claims the secret is in the 5 sticks of butter used in the sauce), haven't made paltos with that recommendation yet, there'll be lots of sauce leftover so use your cut up bread to dip in the sauce, you'llneed to go in a group though bout 300hk pax(dunno can't read the menu but whenever we eat there whatever we order always comes out with the same price :upside: )

Another food that is exotic to me: chicken feet. I can't eat them! I remember when I was a kid, my grandma would cook her arroz caldo with chicken feet instead. She'd my sister, my cousins, and I a bowlfull each and I would just stare at mine looking at it in disgust. It looked raw to me! Whenever I see chicken feet, whatever kind of dish it's cooked to be, I always imagine them running around stepping at god-knows-what. Funny thing is, I love isaw, can't eat chicken feet. )

dunno if lengua is exotic nowadays but well done is surely yummy, remember mingoys was good, can't really think of another place though

 

maybe this thread should be merged with best food thread same people here and there who like food

This week I ate... "lugaw with mata ng baka".

 

tastes like.. ung tendon ng baka. Soft.

[fatso8]

spam with a bit of brown sugar and slowly cooked in the oven! yummm!

Yup! Sarap! Tastes like tocino.

[fatso8]

This is not exotic pero try nyo... Timpla kayo powdered orange juice ( preferably Tang).. then lagyan nyo ng kalamansi.

[pedro hilaga]

share ko lang: para sa maid namin, exotic food ang tilapia . di raw talaga sila kumakain nun kasi iyon ang fish na nakikita malapit sa sementeryo nila sa probinsiya. she'd rather starve than eat that fish.

 

basta ako kakain pa rin ng tilapia. tsalap-tsalap!

[Chi-Chi]

sabi nila ang tilapya daw sa kanal nakatira.. di tuloy ako kumain nun kahit kelan

It still is chicken feet disguised as food.

[fatso8]

No.. no.. sa fishpond talaga nagpapalaki ng tilapia d2 Pinas.

 

Ang sinasabi nila na galing sa canal are yung mga catfish or "hito"... Ito bakmas ayaw nyo kainin coz ang pinapakain sa hito ay mga innards ng hayop.

[fatso8]

Try mo... kahit na yung sa Hen Lin. Para ka lang kumain ng cartilage ng manok.

[Chi-Chi]

Ahh.... buti niliwanagan mo ako! pero kangkong sa madumi daw na lupa yan!

[silentrage]

Try some of these if you get the chance:

pritong salagubang

tortang langgam

adobong daga

kinilaw na pusa

sinampalukang ulo ng aso (with the brain still in)

YUMMY!!!

That's one of the things I hate about it.

I think its been posted before,

And I think I'll catch flak for this,

 

But try well roasted dog meat, with chili catsup garnish. along with cheap booze. and mind you, be there when they slaughter the screaming thing, and pretend to help in the preparation.

 

and do not even think of throwing up, not with your gang around you! Munch for the cameras!

 

The stuff I do in politics...
