Natalie, you've been punked. Those "squid" in "diniguan" is not seafood. It's pig innards and intestines. LOL. Natalie, you’ve been punked. Those “squid” in “diniguan” is not seafood.

Try it for yourself and you might find out why." I'm not sure what you mean. Like other commenters have pointed out, dog meat is eaten in other countries as well. I've had it several times in Korea, and it can be really good and really bad. It depends on how it's prepared, just like any food. The reason "only the Chinese eat dog meat" is not something you would discover by trying it. Most Westerners cringe at the thought of dog meat because they love dogs. Many Koreans don't eat dog meat because of how they are sometimes killed, by beating beaten or tortured to death. “Have you ever thought about why only the Chinese eat dog meat?

Haha, be slightly wary when a Filipino offers you "chocolate meat" ;) There’s also a dish from the Philippines called “dinuguan” that consists of pork blood with pieces of squid.

Eating of dog meat or animal offering ritual is only legal if you are a member of one of the ethnic groups in the Cordillera region, who have been practicing the ritual for centuries. Balut and chicken intestines is not only native to the Philippines but other Asian countries as well. There are more exotic foods in the Philippines such as "Ibuk" (ant eggs) and "tamiloc" (woodworms from decaying mangrove trees). Every country has their own set of exotic food but there's abundance of unusual meat in Asian countries. We may even call it "taboo" but depending on the geographical areas where people live this is their only access to protein/meat thus this could also be a reason for "nothing should go to waste". Variety is the spice of life. Some still do eat dog meat in the Cordillera region of the Philippines however this is not usually done openly as it is already prohibited.

The arms are crunchy and the bodies are soft and mushy. Rat is eaten as well. During the rainy seasons people will gather around common rat dwelling areas to collect the scurrying creatures to take home and cook. Fried tarantulas are eaten in Cambodia.

Yes we consume BBQ Chicken Intestines but to go as far as saying its a national dish is just pushing it too far. "Barbecued chicken intestines are a national dish for the Filipinos" – So NOT True.

But I thought it was pretty nasty Some of the other odd foods in Indonesia I have tried: Guts Soup – It is exactly what it sounds lik, the guts chopped up and boiled Snake – About 3 blocks from my first apartment was a snake joint. The reason I noticed it was because I kept seeing these drop dead gorgeous women going in there – apparently Indo women believe that eating snake is good for skin problems. It does NOT taste like chicken (the snake, not the Indo babes) Deep Fried Chicken Skin – They sell this in the grocery stores, it tastes like the chicken skin at KFC, frigging delicious.

This list certainly shows that there are more parts to the animals we eat than just the meat. Similar to the The Filipino Balut , in Vietnam you can find semi-developed duck eggs to eat quite easily.
