Who said that chefs are just plain restaurant eaters? Not me, I am a chef and I also like to taste new foods and even street foods. Here where I grow up, street foods are almost everywhere. From barbecue to betamax(a term used for blood barbecue), I already tasted it all. Some of my chef friends are wondering about my crazy appetite for street foods. I just love new taste and delicacies that are new to me.
Just the other year, me and my friend, who happens to be a chef, went to the mysterious land of Luzon. In this town that we visited, their specialty is their dog bagnet. Dog meat are highly prized in the town. It was a strange meal for me and my friend. We tasted the meat and it tasted like goat meat. But since we knew it was a meat from a dog, we just tasted it in respect for the local folks who accommodated us during our visit.
Speaking of strange meals and delicacies, Have you heard about the dish called Soup No. 5? It is a dish that I will never forget. The dish was sticky and colored white. It was a little spicy. But never mind the taste and the physical appearance. What is important is what meat in the dish. Well, the dish is made up of intestines and balls of the cow. According to the locals, it was also an aphrodisiac food for the males. Females are restricted in eating it. The town is really a good place to learn and cook new recipes. By next week, I will be going again in another province where anther local dish will be served to me. I am already excited about it.
