hehehe...i never liked inards and all those stuff not normally eaten...like tongues, chicken feet, blood, and balut and so forth.
I only eat munggo if it is in hopia. But i do eat the sprouts. I don't eat halo-halo because i don't like beans. I don't eat fresh lumpia, but i do eat fried lumpia. I like bagoong on mangoes but not in kare-kare. I don't eat kare-kare. I don't like laing, diningding, ampalaya, kalabasa...
aaaccckkkk..bagoong! ansarap nun sa karekare tapos masarap din yun sa manggang hilaw....tsk...kaya lang ng pinalabas ung episode sa imbestigador about dun, parang medyo nandiri ako...huhuhu....
normally, i don't eat but once in a blue moon, i get the urge to devour food. i think they call that "hunger". fave filipino food ko is sizzling sisig ang crispy pata. beer na lang kulang, pwede nang magtoma! pero seriously, when they serve that, i eat. voluntarily. right now, i crave mangang hilaw with bagoong. parang buntis na naglilihi.

I remember when I was in 1st year college, me and my friend had this habit of buying a lot of food from 7-11 and consuming it all before our 6pm class. We called it the "Demonic feasting: a celebration of gluttony". And we ate like pigs.
Somehow... sick as it may seem... eating like a barbarian makes the food taste better.
hmmm... twisted hate, i should try that once. or should i?
try eating porven once and all i get is allergies. hayyy sarap pa naman. once in a while i crave for toknene, yung itlog ng pugo ha. di ko kayang kainin yung malaki, nakaka umay. hehehe
I went with my sister and her brit husband on a walking tour of Intramuros last December. During that tour, the tour guide, Carlos Celdran (God, he rocks!) started asking the foreigners if they've eaten Filipino food. Then he proceeded to translate the dishes into English. Quite funny. needless to say, it didn't sound too appetizing.
Here's a sampler:
Pork in cooked pig's blood
Semifermented shrimp paste (which, by the way, they also do in HK)
Steamed semifertilized duck embryo
Stomach of goat swimming in its vomit
Grilled pork cheeks on a sizzling plate
And so on and so forth.
It's interesting to note that our cuisine has similarities to Creole food found in New Orleans. Why? New Orleans was a slave country before and, similar to the Philippines back in the Spanish era, the powers that be got all the nice cuts of meat, and the slaves got the trash. But everybody needs to eat, so they made do with the crap. And that's how Pinoy food originated. Ambeth Ocampo, eat your heart out!

dinuguan, bagoong?, balut, what's stomach of goat swimming in its vomit?, and sisig. My Lola said they called dinuguan "Chocolate soup" in Virginia.
