When I arrive in the Philippines, I am tired of eating the same food. I might as well try something heavy and add some "spice" to the "plain" life!
Balute 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 cracks slightly, first take a bite of the broth, and then make a fuss, 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 mole cricket
Gryphon, 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 limbs 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 may wish to eat it ~
Roasted mouse
Blanch the captured vole with boiling water, clean the mouse hair, and take it directly to the cauldron for smoking after pickling. We may look uncomfortable, but in their eyes, this is the best delicious food.
Stewed pork and viscera with pig blood
This classic Filipino dish is made by stewing pork, pig ears, pig nose and pig viscera in fresh pig blood, cooking with garlic, onion and so on, which is full of the foul smell of pig blood viscera.
Anyway, you can't look at it. 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 extremely 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 at least 12 hours to remove the contents of their intestines.
The appearance of dried earthworm is very similar to that of snakeskin. It needs to be chewed hard, and the taste is particularly bitter, just like eating snake gall, which makes people tremble.
Philippine tree worm
Tree worm, a crustacean larva parasitic in the trunk of mangrove forest, is white and soft and keeps crawling.
Rich in nutrition and extremely high in price, it is the favorite food of local tyrants.
Season with lemon, vinegar, salt and a few raw peppers.
Some locals even dig it and eat it directly without any seasoning.
Its taste is not far from its appearance, which is probably wet, soft, slippery and QQ, 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 me you won't watch it while eating, okay?
