hindi mo talaga alam kung ano ang nasa burger nila eh.

tandaan niyo hindi yan ground cow's meat. ang ibig sabihin ng beef nila ay bovine meat, ibig sabihin basta may hooves beef na iyon tulad ng kalabaw, kabayo, etc.... kaya magtataka rin kayo bakit ang mura ng burgers nila!

The first time I ate sashimi, I couldn't swallow! :sick: Got used to it after attending so many of my father's birthdays, which is usually held at Japanese restaurants. Does balut count? heheheh.

Adobong Bayawak sa Balaw-Balaw Angono, Rizal

 

they have nice place there

 

artists will appreciate it

 

[MentalQ]

IMHO, each culture has its "exotic" food; more often, it is only exotic to others, not to the people themselves.

 

China has more than its fair share:

- Cold dish of marinated donkey penis

- Braised Camel hump

- Deep-fried scorpions

 

Having gone through most of these (I can only thank my lucky stars that there was never a chance to be served Monkey brain), I did have my revenge by serving balut as an appetizer when I hosted dinner once.

 

One unforgettable in China is the deep-fried sheep tail. They use the tail of a fat-tailed sheep (remember the drawings of Mary Had a Little Lamb?), remove the fleece and dip it in batter. Then the whole tail is deep-fried to crisp, golden brown and then served wish dashes of sugar crystals. They look very much like fried camote (which made me eat it in the first place). The taste, of course, is something else again.

 

In Mongolia, they have a version of Bulalo which looked innocent enough, until I nearly finished it and discovered that it has a stone (golf-ball sized) which is supposed to be taken out, and held tightly to serve as heater during winter! Dinnertime conversation goes on with you moving the stone from hand to hand to avoid blistering.

[LB]
