go figure that all my threads would be in the food section

what are some of the off-the-wall foods that you really love? it can be something widely considered kind of gnarly or just something normal that you eat in a weird way… share!

some of my favorite foods are scary to some of my white coworkers: chicken feet, chicken butt, grilled intestines, beef tongue, snails in black bean sauce, tripe soup, pate, grilled liver.... i like all the nasty bits.

hey ryan!

mine would be fried (pork or beef??) intestines aka chicharon bulaklak...whenever my mom goes to a filipino restaurant, i make sure she gets some to go. then i dip it in vinegar with chili flakes...hmm hmm good. but it’s so friggin bad for your coronaries :D

^ gah, mich, now i want some.

^damn it! me too

i shouldn’t read this thread when i’m hungry.  gah!

i forgot sisig (pig’s cheek) and san miguel beer.

^depends on who makes it. i’ve had bad sisig...but i’ve had some really good ones too.

i like korean blood sausage… but i like the stuff it comes with better: pig’s ear and liver. my friends usually toss that stuff and only eat the sausage. oh man that stuff is good.

“San Miguel WOW! Ito ang beer!”

Wow, you guys like some really weird meats. Is that mostly Filipino food mentioned above?

I had some crunchy pork rinds dipped in vinegar and garlic at a Filipino friends’ house a while back.  It was so good, I ate way too much of it.

my mom makes this great dish with pig feet. yum!

I love lechon, but i really really love Crispy Pata. From Wikipedia: pork knuckles (pata) marinated then deep fried until crispy golden brown. However, the knuckles are a small portion, thus it is the whole leg of pork that is usually served.  If you think lechon is bad for the arteries, it’s nothing compared to crispy pata! but soooo damn good

^ yeah, that’s good stuff.

so i go home this weekend to find that my mom made beef tongue kaldereta...i couldn’t stop eating it and basically killed the whole pot.  it was real tasty.

have you guys ever tried chicharron with rice? so sick, but so good.
