When you are in a new place, foods are of course different and there are places that serve exotic foods? In Palawan, here in the Philippines, they have this certain food called “coco-ro-coco”, it’s crocodile meat cooked in coconut milk, I haven’t tried this but when I visited the place, I found out that many foreigners are enjoying the dish. In Angono, province of Rizal, there is this place called Balaw-balaw. The place serves snake meat, monitor lizard (bayawak), dog stew, etc.

Also when I was in the northern part of the Philippines which most people leave there are Ilocanos, I saw people carrying few giant bats coming from mountain, well you know what, it’s for food also. There are people also in northern part who are fund of eating Tinolang Palaka (frog), Pritong Salagubang (fried beatles deep in salt…don’t know exact english name for “salagubang”), also cat is being eaten here also…

My curiousity with foods is limited to normally eaten foods prepared differently but not to eating the unusual like camaru, a grasshopper like insect that usually infested rice fields, to get rid of them the farmers in some provinces here eat them.

How about you? Have you eaten exotic foods? or will you try them?
