The taste is unique to other barbecue ,its slightly bitter because of some fecal mater left inside the intestine. I think thats what makes it exotic. it is usually dipped in KURAT a </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Filipino term for especially made vinegar with onions and other flavour enhancers. its like a Filipino version of gravy. its sold on the street most of the Pinoy's buy isaw for pulutan. a beer or a gin and an isaw = a happy drinking session. </span></span></div>

Ginataang daga is not made from rats inside our house. its called DAGANG BUKID these are found in rice fields in the Philippines. I actually had an experience catching these rats and I find in more enjoying than actually eating it. The best time to catch this is during rainy season because the rat hole are filled water and they get out of their hole. thats the opportunity to strike them with a bat or a stick. cooking it is just like cooking a ginataang manok. but it takes a longer process because</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> you need to remove that skin, cut the heads and boil it times to remove the smell. but thee taste is similar to a chicken. yummy huh. beeing a bikolano i like it when its spicy, THE BEST. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"> I love eating that's the reason why I'm Big. Why? We probably have reasons why we eat . Some of us eat to be healthy or simply to live. But me, I eat a Lot specially when I'm stressed, when in a bad mood, when I'm happy and sometimes I just eat because I just like eating, specially EXOTIC foods. yeah those disgusting and dirty looking food sold by street vendors like <a href="http://paulianceazarpesimo.blogspot.com/2012/04/list-filipino-exoticweird-foods-you.html">ISAW</a>,BETAMAX,Ulo ng Manok, etc . It really doesn't look good but is taste so yummy specially the Filipino's most favorite <a href="http://paulianceazarpesimo.blogspot.com/2012/04/list-filipino-exoticweird-foods-you.html">BALUT</a>. Its a duck embryo that is boiled and eaten in the shell. Its also believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack. It really doesn't look good but its healthy. </span></div>
