I've eaten chicken feet, haggis, blood pudding, sisig, century egg, durian, dinuguan, tripe and tongue tacos, frog legs, snails, alligator, whole softshell crab, and probably a few more delights that I ought to remember. The only one I absolutely cannot stomach is the century egg.
How was the century egg prepared? I knew some guys in high school that decided to buy random stuff at the asian grocery store and they ate the century egg as if it was a regular boiled egg then threw up. I've had it in small pieces with congee and that was pretty good though.
I'd used it in a recipe to try and make congee, inspired by a pop-up in Seattle called Secret Congee. Theirs is good as hell, but my first try deterred me entirely from that questline.
Sisig mentioned rahhh 🇵🇭🔥💯
We're a "barrel man on the mantle" type of family, you know?
I dunno what that means but I'm guessing it's not good. You also did mention Dinuguan which I like also.
Matter of taste I guess - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_man_(novelty)
I like dinuguan and sisig, but I've definitely had plates of sisig I've regretted.
Oh, that 😂 I'm so ashamed I didn't get it straight away even though I'm Filipino 😅
What type of sisig did you have? It's traditionally made with pig's head but if you don't want that, you can't go wrong with pork belly or chicken cut into small chunks 👍🏽
It was pig's ear and other head stuff, but the real problem was that it was about half as fresh as it should have been. I only mentioned sisig in this post as a way of listing all the gnarly stuff I've liked over the years to compare it to the one thing I just can't handle (except as an ingredient in one dish ever apparently). Little quiet karaoke place with no customers that used to be in Seattle, back when I lived stateside. Not surprised to find out that it's gone, they needed a different crowd.
I had a hunch it's the way it's cooked, should always be fresh.
I've learned my lesson. Only going to order it at places that are bumping
