It is a popular dish to be packed for lunches of picnics in the Philippines as this dish can last longer without spoiling compared to other Filipino dishes, plus it tastes good even if it’s not hot. I know offal is not for everyone as some dislike its texture, others dislike the taste and most of all they don’t like the looks and just the mere thought of eating them, trust me this is different you won’t even notice it’s made out of pork innards.

Would you even dare to try this?
