Food, Food, and More Food Thread

I can't stand that beer snack food they have. Fried pig ears are not on my tops to have with a heine or a sam adams.

So in the Philippines there's all these pigs imitating Van Gogh? :beaten:

Ouch, haha. They have those unborn egg thingys too. I don't think I want to try that. Too crunchy.

Chocolate meat????

From wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinuguan
Dinuguan (also called dinardaraan in Ilocano, or pork blood stew in English) is a Filipino savory stew of blood and meat simmered in a rich, spicy gravy of pig blood, garlic, chili and vinegar. The term dinuguan comes from the word dugo meaning "blood". It is recognizably thick and dark, hence the Westernized euphemism "chocolate meat."

Tasty. :bleh:

Haha, I once went to a friend's house and there was a pig's head in a bucket. It was so damn grotesque and disturbing. I wish there were digital cameras back then because that would've curled a lot of Jdorama members' toes. :rofl:

Ew, that's sick. They also have feathers in them. Or so I heard. :bleh:

I think you're talking about balut (sp?)...

Iii---tai... :bleh:

Well, let's not go overboard with the Filipino food bashing or people will misunderstand and take it personally... cori-chan knows this all too well. :sweat:

Yeah, that's true. Although the Filipinos I work with take things I say with a grain of salt. It's hard to get them mad.

Yeah, that's true. I just hope no one gets the wrong idea. I love my Filipino friends and their families. They are, imo, much nicer people than my own kind.

And to get back on topic, I think I'll go and eat some leftover prime rib and edamame rice. :victory:

Exactly! But unfortunately with the internet, it's hard to tell when people are joking and the sensitivity level is sky high. :(

I had leftover Honeybaked spiral-sliced ham, but that was over four hours ago. :beaten:

No midnight snack?

Nope.

It's just about Sleepytime Time (that's a Cream song :beaten: ).

I'm not too familiar with them, except for a song or two. :sweat:

And you're going to sleep already? :puppydog:

Pretty soon.

Oddly, I go to sleep later and get up earlier when I actually have to go to work. :crazy: :nut:

Oh, I totally forgot that you're on vacation! But is the reason why you're sleeping early because you're still sick? :(

And on topic: cornflakes! :beaten:

Nah, pretty much over it aside from some slight congestion... :)

Pro or con?

I gave them up over wheat/bran flakes. :)

bmwracer wrote:Nah, pretty much over it aside from some slight congestion...

I'm glad it was just a short cold then. :) And the congestion doesn't seem too bad, right?

Neither. I haven't eaten cornflakes for a while. I just felt the need to say something food-related and that was the first thing that popped in my mind. ;) I think I prefer bran flakes anyway. :)

I eat oatmeal but prefer coco-puffs...

cori wrote:I'm glad it was just a short cold then.

I wouldn't even call it a cold... Just a short upper respiratory infection.

I think a real cold would mess me up for at least a week.

Nope... Been drinking o-cha incessantly and the hot liquids seem to dispel the congestion rather quickly... :victory:

LOL!! HEHEHE :hehe: :rofl:

It's ok, I'm Filipino and I totally understand. Actually, I don't eat balut and dinuguan now because I found out exactly what it was. I used to when I was little. Actually, it is pretty tasty but after learning where it comes from, I can't stomach it anymore.
