For real foodies, not only I am in China, but people all over the world show great imagination in "eating", and the "big meal" practiced is also quite explosive.

In the Philippines, I'm tired of the same food, so I might as well try something heavy and add some "spice" to the "plain" life!

Balut boiled duck eggs

It is a famous dish in the Philippines, which is somewhat similar to the live beads that Nanjing people like to eat. It is a delicacy made by cooking duck eggs that are about to hatch.

When the eggshell is slightly cracked, first take a bite of the broth, and then make a strong noise, and the yolk and duckling in the eggshell will be sucked into the mouth. Manila people usually eat it with salt, pepper, ginger, garlic and other seasonings.

Fried Gryllotalpa

Gryllotalpa, Grylloidea. Many people may not have heard of this insect. Put a picture first, it should remind you of your childhood!

remove the legs and wings of the mole cricket, and then boil the trunk in vinegar and garlic. Then fry it with onion and sliced tomato in oil until it looks like chocolate brown, which is very delicious. Foodies who like to eat insects might as well eat them ~

Roast mice

Scald the captured voles with boiling water, clean up the mouse hair, and then take them directly to the cauldron for smoking and roasting. We may look uncomfortable, but in their eyes, this is the best delicious food.

Stewed pork and viscera with pig's blood

This classic Filipino dish is made by stewing pork, pig's ears, pig's nose and pig's viscera in fresh pig's blood, adding garlic, onion and so on, which is full of the foul smell of pig's blood and viscera.

you can't look past selling photos anyway. Now I see the picture, and my stomach is already turning over the river.

dried earthworm

?

In the Philippines, dried earthworm is a luxury snack, and the price is not low.

and the way to eat is very particular. They usually feed on the burrowing earthworm.

first of all, they should wash the earthworms in clean running water to remove the soil and other substances carried by their bodies. Then, put them on wet paper towels and wait for at least 12 hours to remove the contents of their intestines.

The appearance of dried earthworm is very similar to that of snakeskin. You need to chew hard when taking a bite, and the taste is particularly bitter, just like eating snake gall, which makes people tremble.

Philippine tree worm

Tree worm is a crustacean larva parasitic in the trunk of mangrove forest, which is white and soft and keeps crawling.

It is rich in nutrition and extremely expensive. It is the favorite food of local local tyrants.

Season with lemon, vinegar, salt and a few raw peppers.

Some locals even eat it directly after digging it, without any seasoning.

its taste is not far from its appearance, which is probably wet, soft, slippery and QQ-like, and its taste is similar to that of oysters. Besides, don't bite the head of tree worms when swallowing them, because they are as hard as pebbles.

promise not to watch it while eating, ok?
