what is the most exotic or unique food you have eaten? I have eaten dog meat once. When I was still a child, I thought it was pig port but the cook told me that it was dog meat. However, the cook made a wonderful dish out of me and I eat a lot. have you eaten dog meat? have you eaten frogs or worms or insects? I have seen lots of weird foods in Ripleys Believe it or Not. and in news here in the Philippines, some pinoys eat cats, rats and frogs. Snakes are also a delicacy. have you tried eating exotic foods before? are you planning to eat exotic foods?

dog meat - dog meat is considered delicacy in some countries
hehe. It was our neighbor's pet. the next day our neighbor was looking for his lost dog. we did not told him we ate it up. these foods are considered delicacies in some countries. at least I could say that I have tried to eat dog meat though.

I think I have already tried lots of "exotic" foods available here..I have of course eaten frogs, mom cooks it so yummy,and rats...yes, you won't belived me,I tried it and it's good..That was when we are still in the province. A dog meat,that's a regular meal in my hometoen until the government banned it. Chicken intestines (isaw) one day old, all of them are considered exotic by other countries..I've tried them all.. What I cannot eat is a snake, although it smells delicious too, those in the family of bugs..and some insects..and I don't have any plans of eating them soon.

Like you I eaten dog meat when I was a child. Yes its true its look like pork part. But father told me dog meat is medicine for cough. I tried calderetang balut and sinigang na balut and others, but not the snake and worm.
