We do love to it right? Who doesn't like eating Italian food, Chinese food or Japanese food? They are all delicious. So how about the exotic or unusual food? Have you tried eating one? I once tried eating frog and a monitor lizard (bayawak here in our language). ^_^

Yes I've tried and I love it. I'm fond of eating "Isaw" - the barbeque term for the intestine of a chicken. "Balot" is also good. And not to mention "Apan" - it's a cooked grasshopper and its taste is really really addicting.

Rabbits - Two cuddly rabbits, so adorable.
I will think twice before eating rabbit meat!
Dear jenskye, I live in a small estate in a rural area. Most of the people stay there are rubber tapper and they are poor. When you are poor, you will be creative with your food too, especially end of the month before the next pay come in. Who will be the victim? The animals better hide themself by end month or else they will end up being serve on the dinner table... My fifth brother have many Indian friends who live in the estate. During weekend they will go hunting with their dogs. They will come back with 'biawak' (monitor lizard, it seems Bahasa Malaysia and Tagalog sound the same, bayawak= biawak...amazing, isn't it?) Sometimes they came back with monkeys, rabbit, tortoise, etc. At time they discovered huge snake, they will killed it and be divided among all the families there. Once all this exotic animals cooked with plenty of curry powder, curry leaves.. it is SOOO DELICIOUS, you will want more, forgetting what is it! So, I have personally eaten 'bayawak', monkeys, tortoise, turtle, rabbit, deer, birds, pigeons, and many more BUT NOT ANYMORE! I have stop eating all this meat except quail and deer which at times I did savour some. All the best and hope to hear from you on my latest topic of discussion 'Birthday Month!', See you there
