na tikman nyo na ba yun pritong cobra at dugo ng cobra? sa pampanga may isang carinderia nag bebenta at dinadayo

[chefwannabe]

Sabi nila mainit daw sa katawan yung mga yan... Cobra? Ni sawa nga hindi pa ako nakakatikim. They should probably taste the same...

I've tried kangaroo, camel, emu and crocodile in australia. The crocodile actually tastes very good, parang chicken pero mas tender. I've also tried snake blood where they cut the snake open in front of you, drain the blood into a glass and give it to you to drink together with some medicine. Ugh. Wouldn't do that again.

I also like insects they call it "ar-arawan" in Ilocos. You could find them sa lakes. They burrow in the soil/sand. Once, my bro and I chanced upon some in Karayan lake in Pangasinan. However meager our catch, we brought them home and had our lolo cook it for us. Parang paksiw lang ang timpla.. Pero it's cooked till it absorbs all the seasonings tapos it is sauteed till it's crunchy!! Yumyum!!!

Di ko pa yan nasubukan ah!

 

The closest thing that I've tried would be earthworms (nauso sa Manila during the late 80s) which were ground then made into burger patties. Also silkworms. Pero insekto na galing sa lupa, hahanapin ko nga yan.

 

Cheers!

Pards! I didn't realize there are places that serve camel and emu in Australia? San ba yan pare? I only tried kangaroo meat. Medyo makunat yung karne diba? That's why they have to cook it rare.

 

You're right that crocodile meat tastes a bit like chicken. Pati yung texture.

 

Cheers!

um ive tried eel. unknowingly because it was served at a welcome dinner for our project team. twas wintertime in HK and they said it would keep me warm so i ate it. they told me what it was after.

 

iv also tried those fried insects they sell along the streets in bangkok... i have no idea what insects those are but they taste pretty good... theyre touted as "energy foods" (read : aphrodisiac)...

 

bayawak - it tastes like chicken especially when cooked as adobo with lotsa garlic

 

frog legs - also tastes like chicken...

 

camaru - cooked adobo style then refried to make it crunchy ...

 

yami!
