Still thinking abt that Filipino food tier list that put Lumpiang Shanghai, Bistek, and Pork BBQ in BANGER tier while putting Filipino Spaghetti as "not Filipino" because foreign food that had ingredients tweaked to local ingredients doesn't count apparently.
I'm sorry but a shit ton of Italians don't consider our spaghetti as real spaghetti. It's obvious he doesn't know how food works. Nor could I believe that he knows how to cook or has ever picked up a cook book.
Like please, I don't mind people explaining to me why lumpiang shanghai is more filipino than other food here but how could you explain pork bbq? Bistek meanwhile, literally is a corruption of the word BEEF STEAK.

fourth meal ♡ lov villains
★ ft shigaraki ∙ dabi x afab!reader. ❝ word count: 553. ⌕ contains: (giving and receiving) oral sex, come play, fem terms for reader’s genitals. ⌦ a/n: title taken from balut by doja cat .⇄ & ♥︎ appreciated!
Tumblr media
tomura. ❥ ⌵
definitely prefers receiving—especially when you catch him doing something else like eating or playing video games. he’ll return the favor often enough though.
when he does, he likes to have you on your back and preferably in a place where your knees can be spread wide apart.
he always dives in like a starving man, slotting his mouth against the entirety of your cunt’s lips and just slobbering all over them with messy kisses and broad strokes of his tongue. he has a different kind of finesse. it doesn’t really matter to you, because his mouth is hot and insistent, knowing exactly when and where to lick.
since he likes eating you out so earnestly, he’s messy. spit dripping down his chin and slick coating his tongue and mouth. he’ll make you come like that—on his tongue—at least twice before he even considers giving you his fingers or his cock.
when he’s not absolutely drowning yourself in your pretty pussy, he likes to fuck your mouth. he loves doing it standing up where he can have control of your head so easily, guiding your spit-soaked lips up and down his length. having you like this drives him nuts since he loves watching the way your mouth works and the molten lava that comes from your sweet gaze staring up at him from down on your knees.
likes to come on your face like that the best. you like how slutty it makes you feel and he likes you seeing you all messed up like that. depending on his mood, he’ll either lean down and make out with your jizz-covered tongue or degrade you and fuck your mouth until he comes again.
tōya. ❥ ⌵
sucks at eating pussy out (sorry). it’s not that he’s unenthusiastic, his technique just sucks (his fingering and dick game are two whole different stories though).
he particularly likes to play with your tits while he goes down on you. the feeling of your breasts pressing up against his naked skin—usually when he’s flat on his back and you’re on your knees above him with your wet mouth around his cock—drives him nuts.
loves it when you deepthroat him. it doesn’t happen often (mainly because he doesn’t have the patience to wait for your throat to warm up to his wet length) but when it does, he’s a sobbing mess, grunting little ‘fuck fuck fuck’s while his cock sits completely on top of your tongue and you’re faux swallowing around him while he blabbers on and on and on about how much he’d burn men, entire cities for your mouth.
is a sucker for edging, and the best way to do it is when you’re sucking him off. it comes naturally, and it’s not because you’re a huge tease but because he’s the one in control anyway. he likes to bring himself to the brink of orgasm and then come back, all with your velvety mouth around his hard cock.
likes to come down your throat the best, although inside your pussy is a close second. you tend to have full control of his orgasms, deciding on his behalf whether he should fill your cunt up with his seed or hump your throat until he empties himself inside of it.

With My Dear Bro Day One
Love Tractor's leads got sent to El Nido in the Philippines by the production company and recorded it for With My Dear Bro. I truly have nothing better to do with my time during this quiet holiday break now that midnight mass is done, and GMMTV didn't give me Safe House this year, so I'm binging it and writing about it in three posts (One, Two, Three) because why not?
Tumblr media
First off, the opening credits are adorable.
Tumblr media
Next, their only concern when packing was making sure to bring a hairdryer. Not a joke. Very serious business.
Tumblr media
There is only ONE BED, and they did not realize that until they get to the house. Yoon Do Jin said he would sleep on the couch.
Tumblr media
That was a lie.
Tumblr media
Yoon Do Jin is very outgoing and travels often while Do Won is introverted and hasn't traveled much. Yoon Do Jin is fine spending all their money. Do Won is frugal. Yoo Do Jin wants to try all the things. Do Won, not so much.
Tumblr media
They both speak English often on the trip, but Do Won, who has a degree in hotel management teaches Yoon Do Jin the words for fork, knife, and spoon, plus that the taller glass is for wine and the shorter glass is for water (the more you know). They struggle with the laid-back style of the island aka the speed of service.
Tumblr media
Much like their characters in Love Tractor, Yoon Do Jin fills every silence (with horrible dad jokes!). Do Won, not so much.
Tumblr media
They have $700 which equals over 40,000 pesos! I'm on Yoon Do Jin's side here. BALLIN'! Treat yo' self! But they are counting the money with ALL THESE PEOPLE WATCHING!
Tumblr media
They even had the money changer stressed out. 40,000 pesos is a lot to be counting out in the open like that. No, baby boys, NO!
Tumblr media
Oh, lord. Men. Do Won wants to buy a wallet and Yoon Do Jin wants slippers. Then, the walkway is wet, and Yoon Do Jin needs help crossing it. They are 60-year old dads.
Tumblr media
They haggle (as they should), but they misunderstand. The price is 3 for 100. They think each item is 300, so the haggling gets lost in translation! The lady is actually really sweet to them and shows them which bill to hand her.
Tumblr media
Everyone is watching them and wants to take a picture with them since it's become obvious that they are Korean actors (with the cameras and the 40,000+ pesos!). I am bothered for them, especially Do Won who is anxious, but they don't want to make ALL Koreans look bad because that's what they think will happen.
Tumblr media
They take a taxi which was supposed to cost 100, but haggle for 90. Then, they only hand the driver a 50. These men are wildin'!
Tumblr media
Yoon Do Jin is haggling his ass off, and the ladies are loving it He ends up getting free fruit!
Tumblr media
Oh, God, they spot balut, and Yoon Do Jin, who is down to try everything, goes for it. Do Won lets Yoon Do Jin take the L for both of them.
Tumblr media
This is adorable. They shop because Do Won likes to cook. Yoon Do Jin sneaks chocolate into the cart. Do Won wants to carry the bags. Yoon Di Jin says no. Yoon Di Jin wants to help cook. Do Won says no.
Tumblr media
Do Won, who is visibly nervous when they sit down to eat, waits for Yoon Di Jon to take a bite, then immediately asks for a score repeatedly as he begins to freak out about how he cooked it.
Tumblr media
But Yoon Di Jon comes through with the compliments!
Tumblr media
They bought banana blossoms, and have no idea what to do with them or how to eat them, so Do Won tricks Yoon Di Jon into eating it as it is.
Tumblr media
They didn't even google or anything. They just ate it. Raw. With the leaves y todo. No bueno.
Tumblr media
A bug is spotted. Do Won is terrified of bugs. Yoon Di Jon kills it.
Tumblr media
But then he teases Do Won with it. Do Won is not pleased.
Tumblr media
They shower, Yoon Di Jon kills a moth for Do Won, they drink, then Do Won attempts to make plans for the next day.
Tumblr media
To which Yoon Di Jon responds.
Tumblr media
Man's got jokes, all day, every day.
Tumblr media
And that was just the first day, so they hop into their one bed and get ready for day two.

What are your favorite egg-based meals?
Eggs! Whether they're from chickens, ducks, geese, quail, and more, there are many dishes around Tamriel that feature this simple ingredient.
Altmer
In Summerset, a popular starter dish is a savoury steamed seafood egg custard known as chawanmushi. Served either chilled or hot enough to melt your face, this little dish is packed with prawns and shellfish and mushrooms, and topped with a slice of chewy fishcake.
Argonians
Crocodile eggs are a delicacy in Black Marsh, and the local Saxhleel have many ways of preparing them. My personal favourite is a flavourful scrambled omelette with scallions and oysters, cooked until the oysters are juicy to the point of bursting and the eggs are fluffy yet crisp. Known as or luak, this omelette is served with a healthy serving of chili sauce.
Bosmer
While people tend to hyperfixate on the meat aspect of the Bosmeri diet, they forget that eggs are just as important a food source. Poached giant snake eggs with cream sauce and smoked salmon atop cricket bread are the perfect brunch delight, especially when paired with a bit of jagga-and-honey.
Bretons
If there's one race in Tamriel who's mastered the soufflé, it's the Bretons. Whether savoury or sweet and set aflame with liquor, you can't deny that this tricky dish is worth every delicious mouthful. I'm personally a big fan of (surprise) four-cheese soufflé, where the egg is whipped with a clever blend of local High Rock cheeses to enhance the stiffening and therefore prevent an immediate collapse upon leaving the oven.
Dunmer
You'll never guess what this Dunmeri dish involves. Kwama eggs? Volcanic ash? Yes. Whole kwama eggs are buried beneath a mixture of lime and ash, and left to ferment for a few weeks until they have achieved a jelly-like texture on the exterior, and a creamy yet firm yolk. The eggs are served sliced and chilled, with pickled ginger on the side. Also great atop savoury saltrice congee.
Imperials
Like their penchant for eating pecorino-stuffed dormice, this dish will have you wondering what's wrong with Imperials. Balut is simply a raw duck egg, containing the lovely surprise of a two week-old foetus. Crack open the egg and sip up the whites, then season that foetus with salt and a splash of vinegar and slurp it up whole. This is, to some, unimaginably cruel, but Imperials in the Blackwood region insist that it's good for the health, and that it's delicious. I'll take their word for it, as this is one of the very few dishes I can't bring myself to try.
Khajiit
If there's a quintessential dish native to southern Elsweyr, it's probably telur balado, or twice-cooked eggs with chili sauce. Eggs are first boiled, then briefly deep fried to give them a delightfully crisp exterior while maintaining a rich yolk. It's then slathered in a rather spicy tomato-based sauce, and served with steamed rice. Also rather nice with a pinch of moon sugar.
Nords
While eggs from just about every bird are commonly used in Nord cuisine, chicken's eggs are by far the most popular and easily accessible. A signature egg dish in Skyrim is a thick omelette studded with bacon, served with sliced spring onions and rye bread. Simple, delicious, and downright good (except for its traditional, apparently Atmoran name, flæskeæggekage).
Orcs
Not everyone enjoys chub loon eggs, but Wrothgarian Orcs can't get enough of their rich, slightly fishy flavour. One popular egg dish is a seafood soup with egg drops, horker meatballs, and mudcrab meat. The egg drops are formed by whisking beaten eggs into the boiling soup, allowing the tendrils to cook on contact. It's served with seaweed noodles and a dash of strong black vinegar.
Redguards
Seagull eggs are a popular ingredient in coastal Hammerfell, and also act as a control measure against too many seagulls. This has happened numerous times in Stros M'kai, where shakshouka hails from. This famous dish is comprised of seagull eggs poached in an iron skillet with a spicy, flavourful tomato sauce, onions, and charred peppers. Usually eaten at breakfast with flatbread to mop up the sauce.

https://discover.grasslandbeef (.com) /blog/novolone-cheese-dairy-free-bone-marrow-cheese-recipe/
Heres a bone marrow recipe with 0 butter, it was the one i was looking at. It seems that it just uses the plantains as a mushy base but i didn't know if the clans have access to anything that can be mushified. I was also thinking if my clans have access to milk (one clan lives on mountains and are known for knocking goats over cliffs to kill them, although its dangerous since you can be the one thrown over instead) but i havent researched that entirely. And about the eggs, I actually did have that written down (its called Balut iirc), fermenting things by burying them came up a LOT and stuffing large organs like stomachs to cook whole came up too. Pemmican seems like something the clans would also eat, since its just dried meat, berries, and fat.
DEFINITELY gonna use that marrow recipe as a butter substitute, it seems like the marrow alone can be used as a butter... unsure about the cheese though, the plantain seems like a very important ingredient there as a binding agent, and my cats don't have those.
Could apples or pears be used instead? I don't think blackberries would have that same "consistency."
On Milk
It's in the realm of possibility for everyone else's Clans who live on farms or have a good relationship with feral goats to collect milk! Difficult, considering their paws aren't particularly dexterous, but possible if they figured out a good grip. Feral cats who live near elephant seals are also actually able to steal milk irl-- that's because an elephant seal nipple lactates in 'bursts' with no kneading required.
But my Clan cats will never have milk for two reasons
They don't like to spend time around humans or steal from them, unless they're SkyClan. Living too close to humans and their pets stresses them out. So Warrior Bites recipes will never use them, because they would not have a culinary use for things they do not encounter.
The logistics of taking milk are difficult. They'd need to keep the animal still, milk them into a bucket, and then be able to run with that container (possibly jumping over obstacles). Since my cats aren't living directly alongside these animals, they don't have technological development towards this. Maybe as a dare! But not enough to get used in official recipes.
I also just, personally, really don't like the idea of trying to force Clan Culture into being an arbitrary reflection of ours. I sometimes do funny little tidbits, memes, or jokes, y'know? Especially for names (in both English and Clanmew) because I love puns and it eventually becomes its own word. But something as big as including dairy products as a base ingredient in official Warrior Bites entries completely defeats the point of my project.
I'm not trying to reverse engineer human food for cats, like, make "versions" of popular people junk foods that they would never come up with if they weren't just mimicking twolegs. I wanna make Clan cat food. I wanna make food that's 75% what a cat in this culture would whip up if you gave them a brain and fire and only 25% still palatable to humans.
(examples of suggestions I get frequently that are a hard no: pizza, hot pockets, noodles, sandwiches, insert random farm vegetable, candy, plant-based dishes that contain absolutely no meat)
But!! This is taking my Clan's cultures into consideration! It makes perfect sense to have milk AND evolve lactose tolerance if your Clan's culture is keeping livestock! Be that their own herds, or living in tandem with human farms, etc.
ShepherdClan would be a serious vibe.
Stomachs, Balut, Pemmican
I ABSOLUTELY plan to make dishes that are like haggis, where you take a big organ, stuff it full of meat, and then roast the whole thing. A++++ S-rank stuff. That's exactly the sort of thing they'd get up to.
ShadowClan in particular also likes to experiment with fermentation, so I want to eventually give them "ratwurst" lmao, sausages made from the intestines of rats, packed with meats, and then fermented until hard.
Balut is an egg in late embryonic development. You get a little bite of yolk and a big bite of meat! It's absolutely something the Clans would get up to. Traditionally this is done with ducks, which are everywhere in the part of England so I can definitely imagine Clan cats stealing a couple eggs 'that won't even be missed.'
But you know what I'm going to do? Clan cats LOVE doing this with cuckoo eggs most of all. Especially in ThunderClan and SkyClan. They'll inspect the nests of songbirds, and if they see a cuckoo, just take it and incubate it themselves. Just enough until it's maximum delicious.
They have a cultural love of songbirds, so they have a vested interest in protecting them from brood parasites which kill the other eggs.
And pemmican? Totally a ThunderClan thing. Funfact I decided that it's Ivypool's favorite food, she seems like she'd like something a little chewy.

i’m watching tiktoks and this girl came up on my fyp page eating balut and all the comments were JUDGING HER FOR IT??? and it just inspired me to go on a whole fucking rant abt it bc what the fuck?? where is cultural sensitivity now???
just bc u wouldn’t eat it doesn’t mean you should talk abt it. like i know you use ur fucking mouth all the time but if u don’t like something KEEP IT TO URSELF 😭😭😭 ITS LITERALLY TAUGHT IN FUCKING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO KEEP SHIT TO URSELF IF U DONT LIKE IT.
and it’s not hard to just scroll. like y’all white freaks eat weird shit all the fucking time (what the actual fuck is meatloaf) so literally don’t even be coming for sea culture. talk to me when ur food doesn’t make you a diabetic!!
i cannot stress how easy it is to be fucking culturally sensitive. like you can literally scroll or click not interested. you don’t see me being like “ewww not for me” on every tiktok of unseasoned bland crusty flavorless white people shit??? so why r u commenting on hers???
and it also just brings up how close minded people are that they can’t even fathom the fact that other cultures eat differently than them. like not everybody in the fucking world are gonna be smacking their lips on a cheeseburger every day like y’all. we have actual food tf??
i literally had to break hiatus for this bc it was pissing me off so bad and i wanted to tell all of y’all TO FUCKING BE CULTURALLY SENSITIVE. IF YOU DONT LIKE SOMETHING, FUCKING MOVE ON

Btw sily questions, but what are Eli's eating habits? What kind of foods does he like? Is he a good cook? Does he cook often or eat out more do you think? Is he very particular with table manners or does it depend on the setting a bit for him? Is there also any foods he straight up does not like? Before i ask too much, broadly what is eli like domestically kinda?
Eliyah is a pretty polite, well mannered eater, and it reeeeeeally bothers him when others aren't. He isn't afraid to point it out or remark on poor dining habits/manners. Including to you/Dove. He would always expect good manners in eating/dining out regardless of the setting. Whether it's a casual cafe or burger joint or a low light dress code restaurant. Obviously though, the fancier the place, the more he would expect of folks to be mindful of the environment.
Generally for foods, he isn't one for foods that are particularly spicy or have a lot of complex flavors going on at once (so generally things like Indian and Thai would be ones he is... not fond of). French and Italian cuisines are his favorites. He straight up doesn't like foods he considers ""weird"", which is essentially anything that the typical white American wouldn't have in their diet. Things like durian, certain dishes of fish, meats and such he will just flat out not eat. So, no, you won't ever see him trying something like balut or chicken feet.
He can cook... fine I guess. It's not AMAZING, but one can still eat it, say it's good (Krow and Luke are DEFINITELY much better cooks than Eliyah is). He vastly prefers eating out in part cause he just doesn't like the prep or clean up. Which kind of segways into how he is domestically, which is to say... Not great lmao. Like yeah he keeps his place clean, does laundry and all, but if he can get someone else to do it, even pay them to, he would rather have that.

the ARFID/picky eater/sensory issues hate circlejerk on reddit is insane
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
not to be all IM MENTALLY ILL AND I WOULD NEVER but just like, who are these people hanging out with? I have no problem with charcuterie or sushi or pho or fish with the head on or raw oysters or balut, I just fucking hate certain textures and flavors. but when I see something that has say, green onions or raw kale in it, I literally don’t say anything, let alone insult the dish or the person eating it. if somebody asks me why I’m not eating it I just say “oh it looks AMAZING but unfortunately I have some sensory issues with certain food textures”. I’ll even cook meals I don’t personally enjoy for other people because they’re fun to make and look pretty and I’m happy to have the chance to prepare them. in fact, I find it’s usually other people who are a dick to me! “how can you not like Kit Kat bars?? there’s something wrong with you! just eat it! you’ll like it if you try it again! it’s really weird that you don’t like Kit Kats, everyone likes them!”

I’ve been stressing for the last couple hours so here’s my combaticon nonsense. Here’s some food I think the comabticons would be good at cooking/enjoy. Realistically no way some of them can cook, but in my mind they can cook a bit. And also…this is just me projecting because I like food.
Onslaught: Mans can cook a wicked burger. I just know his ass likes to fire up a grill. I just KNOW he can make good BBQ alright. Porkchops, chicken, anything that can be grilled, onslaught can cook it. I feel like he can cook a solid meatloaf as well. He can definitely make Fijian curry roti. Over all he’s a solid cook.
Blast off: Blast off can cook. Will he cook for everyone? Thats a maybe. He would enjoy making pastas. Like Fettuccine Chicken Alfredo or lasagna. He also likes trying new curry recipes. When ever he tries new recipes he usually makes brawl and vortex try it to see if it’s bad or good. He’s also a solid baker when he’s really in the mood. He has perfected making macarons. He learned how to make tavioka, a secret favorite dessert of onslaughts. He also refuses to ever cook lobster and crawfish after being pinched once. HE LIKES MAKING THOSE FANCY CHEESE BOARD I KNOW IT !! With wine of course , he’s sophisticated.
Brawl: He enjoys grilling and cooking meet. (Anger issues be damned, my boy can work a grill!) He’s definitely the person who eats while cooking (just like me fr) . He can make really good chili, all the combaticons are surprised when they tried it because they’ve witness brawl almost burn down the kitchen but they all agree it’s damn good. Hear me out ! He’s a EXCELLENT poi pounder.It’s messy and takes time but I feel like he’d enjoy hitting kalo with a poi pounder. (It’s good for anger/stress relief and you get poi after. Win win.) also he eats kalua and dips it in poi.
Vortex: Dosent cook often (never he’s banned from the kitchen) he’ll eat whatever everyone else cooks. He seems like someone who will eat something off others plates. He’s a big fan of onslaughts burgers, blast offs cinnamon rolls, brawls chili, and swindles ajiaco. He’s banned from the kitchen but he knows how to fry fish. He guts em, scales em, all of it. And he’s really good at it. He’s been practicing making chicken adobo. He’s also definitely made brawl try balut one time
Swindle: Surprisingly swindle knows a lot of different food recipes! Him and blast off share a small collection of cook books. He’s good as making meals for himself. He’s a fan of instant food like ramen and other soups. He Dosent make complex meals but rather follows instructions or quick meals. But he’s also likes to cook Ajiaco for the other combaticons, they all enjoy it. As a treat. But most times swindle will mostly likely order take out food from restaurants he likes. Has he ripped off door dash before? Yes. (He definitely lets brawl eat what ever he doesn’t finish or he’ll store it away for later in a container labeled “Swindles ! Don’t eat ! Specially you brawl and vortex!”)

Bingo bullseye right on the money! While I do think we need to be concious of how we eat meats and where it comes from, humans eating meat is just part of the food chain. We just happen to be… mostly on top XD. No one screams when sharks eat tuna, or any other type of fish/marine mammal, so why are humans different. I do think that we do need to be conscious though. We as a species have hunted animals to extinction, like the Stellar Sea Cow, but as long as we aren’t literally hunting creatures marked as critically endangered/have environmental protections placed on them where you live, who cares.
Oh also, no food is in it of itself gross/weird. Using the mention of guinea pig I saw someone else say, personally I could never eat one because I can imagine ever eating pet animals (which is primarily what they are in the states.) however, I’m not going to judge anyone else for eating them, because that’s stupid and self centered.
i remember the ppll judging filipinos for eating balut and it's like ugh actually go get a fucking hobby ITS DEAD THE CHICK IS DEAD IT'S NOT GONNA FEEL ANYTHING

Omg, I had no idea you also eat balut! I looked it up and the banana leaves, the vinegar, the spices. I looked up some other Cambodian food and it reminds me of this Instagram video I saw the other day with this Cambodian girl visiting her mother. Her mother made shrimp fried rice and a couple other dishes and it almost made me tear up a little because of how familiar it looks. It looks like the fried rice my mom taught me how to make, especially if it's cooked in a big wok that's scratched and slightly burned at the bottom from years of use. Plus the little vinegar on the side with minced garlic and chili peppers. If I ever find it again I'll send it to you. I'm looking at desserts now and you're right too about the coconut and palm sugar! We also use banana plantains and mangoes, and let's not forget the banana leaves (what is NOT wrapped in banana leaves or rice paper, lol). You're right that there's similarities between our cultures even if we speak different languages, and I just love that about us. And what I find especially endearing is our abbreviation as Southeast Asians, it's SEA. It's just so 🤍
*hugs you tightly* I remember learning a little bit about that in school, it's sad it's briefly talked about in class and I only learned more about it from reading YA books at the library. There was a book I read from the school library when I was 12 years old that I cannot remember what it was called, but I vividly remember the cover and the story because it stuck with me more than 10 years later. It was about a Cambodian girl where she and her older sister were put in a camp and she loved her sister dearly, but her older sister died before they could make it to the United States. Her memory of her was them dancing together and she carries her memory with her whenever she dances. I feel the 70s was a hard time for SE Asia because my dad was in college, my mom in high school at the time too when the Philippines was put under martial law during the Marcos dictatorship. Particularly in the province my family is from, there were a lot of massacres and brutality from the dictatorship. My dad told me he even remembers there was a time a lot of Vietnamese people came to the Philippines to escape the war. Not pitting us against other Asian nations, but you are right and I feel that SE Asian nations have a specific kind of generational and cultural trauma from colonialism that is different compared to other nations, even if some of us are separated by a sea. It's a pain we all feel and a wound we all suffer from in some way. But we are stronger when we stand together 🤍🤍
I know that got kinda dark so back to the lighter stuff! I can totally imagine Namor and Namora casually eating Cambodian food, not minding the spice but don't tell Attuma it's spicy until he starts coughing and sweating. That's what he gets for oversleeping and missing their morning meeting 🤣🤣🤣
For balut, we call it something else lol (pong thea koun). But yes, many dishes we do share, and i think it’s the infuences from trade route and such. We eat rice with spoon and fork too, and if we do it traditional way, definitely by hand, on the straw mat 🤣 Also we use banana leaves, lotus leaves, and palm leaves as well ! the thing that I miss the most while living here is drinking palm juice out of bamboo tubes. The taste just so distinct, and there’s nothing like it. I remember when I was young and visited my grandfather’s hometown, and the island was fully of mangoes! I remembered eating the green ones because I love sour mangoes more than the ripe one tbh, dipping them in spicy shrimp paste or spicy chili salt. 
The 70′s was truly a really tragic time for most SEA people. My in-laws were actually among the Vietnamese refugees a then camp at the Philippine. I think they were there for about two years before they managed to come to the US. My relatives were refugees in Malaysia/Indonasia. Everyone was trying to escape war and find a better life. They have to leave everything behind, and honestly, that sort of trauma does stick with you to these days, even generation later. 
But yes, moving from the dark stuff, I need Attuma to introduce me to fresh water dolphin! There’s a legend about it, and I need to know if it’s true 🤣🤣🤣 I imagine him just hanging out by the river dock, and calls me over to meet his friend, the fresh water dolphin that everyone thought went extinct.

Haunted by this image of Shaw going on holiday to the Savage Land and keeping a detailed diary of the flavour profiles of various different dinosaur meats
AHHH I LOVE THIS! I can absolutely see it too loooL! Large therapods such as the illustrious T. Rex posses a flavor akin to an ostrich but far, far gamier due to their carnivorous diet. Despite this, I would classify them as red meat, not white. Their smaller cousins are the same, but swap the ostrich for a wild pigeon or partridge, leaner and stringier by far. These are not pampered farm-raised chickens! The large herbivores are a curious lot, but I think I prefer them the most. It's as if someone blended the flavor of wild bison (likely owing to their mass and the plants they eat) with the consistency of an alligator. Young of any species have proven difficult to obtain. Most species regardless of clade are far more protective than anticipated. I suspect they are more tender, milder versions of their adult counterparts, but also a good deal stronger than any veal on the conventional market. The eggs do not differ much by breed of beast, and are in fact almost identical to the majority of modern bird eggs that I have sampled, merely larger and with a detectably richer yolk in some cases. I look forward to trying a large fertilized one as balut!
