I wish I liked it simply for financial and availability reasons alone but just can't train myself to eat it even after a period of fasting. Just tastes utterly vile and wrong to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-71845032404632446412018-02-20T19:52:08.312-08:002018-02-20T19:52:08.312-08:00Long ago in Olongapo City, I used to love the arom...Long ago in Olongapo City, I used to love the aroma of the street BBQ-stands. I only ate the one thing that I could positively identify; smoked-squid-on-a-stick. Hot and crispy right off the grill, and I could be sure it wasn't dog, monkey, or rat. The only place in the Philippines that gave me food-poisoning was the Navy Exchange restaurant on base.Dinochrome Onenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-49774963571500695712018-02-20T19:02:01.168-08:002018-02-20T19:02:01.168-08:00To this day, my children refer to ANY type of skew...To this day, my children refer to ANY type of skewered meat as "Monkey-on-a-stick".

Make sure the yaki mando was crisp and came straight out of the boiling oil vat and too hot to handle without several layers of paper wrapped around it.<br /><br />Of course quantities of OB, Oscar and Soju prior to consumption probably helped kill any bacteria once it hit the stomach.<br /><br />Once consumed, dump the paper wrapping into the trash without looking at it in a good light. If you don't see the classified markings on the "recycled" T.O. page used as food wrapping, you don't have to spend time at OSI writing up a security report.<br /><br />Only times I ever got sick eating downtown was drinking the local Coke (with an acidity level higher than some stuff I used in college chem class) and at the "real" Wendy's restaurant salad bar.RandyGChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758726126424011542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-77881325194344882432018-02-20T11:44:19.025-08:002018-02-20T11:44:19.025-08:00Ah man ...

Yaknow for the sights. Would be gone for a month+ at a time. Biggest problem were the Federale shakedowns as there were just your run of the mill Mexican thieves and no cartels. Really interesting times. <br /><br />Anyways went with a friend once and took a gal. I'd love going through a central marketa and eating. I swear one time there was one of those hanging meat things that you usually see in Greek restaurants that had an eyeball hanging off of it. That one I skipped but I did avail myself quite liberally of numerous other offerings, sometimes even from street carts! If the food was hot, WTH huh?<br /><br />My friends were aghast, telling me I was in for some bad times while they stuck to canned food and bottles of water. Wouldn't even eat at sit downs in small cafes.<br /><br />On the drive back to Denver, I had to pull over every 20-30 minutes for them to evacuate themselves.<br /><br />I was fine.MMinWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791810228821770464noreply@blogger.com
