List Of Filipino Unusual Food

Posted on by

Just like anywhere else, Filipino has its own list of unusual food. Food that are common among us Filipino but for some find the food unusual or exotic. Here is my list for some Filipino exotic food.

Balot: Balot is not only a popular food in the Philippines, as Filipino eats Balot for a very long time. Balot is a hard boiled fertilized duck egg eaten from the shell. For some, Balot is so unusual as it was featured in popular TV show as one of the most unusual food in the world. Balot is so popular in the Philippines because of the believe for its aphrodisiac effect and for being high in protein. Now a days, balot is usually sell in the street fried wrap with batter known as Balot Tokneneng. It is also eaten in other Asian nation such as in Vietnam, China has also a similar preparation known as Maodan.

Bayawak : Bayawak (variety of large lizard) is another unusual meat consume by Filipino, before you could always find Bayawak in some Restaurant in Manila specialized with exotic food but now a days you could rarely seen some as the number of Bayawak started to decline.

Dagang Bukid (Rice field rat): For some, rat might be a pest on their rice field farm, but for some farmer it turns to be a favorite appetizer during drinking session. They usually cook rice field rat as dry adobo and Ive heard that it taste like a chicken.

Frog (Rice field Frog): For some people, eating frog might be look so unusual but I heard that some people fom other nation also eat Frog as part of their culinary cuisine. There are some variety of frog that are poisonous ,so be careful when choosing one. Frog is usually cook the way chicken cook in the Philippines as they have the same taste, personally frog is one of my favorite food.

Kinilaw or Kilawin : Kinilaw is a popular fish recipe in the Philippines, it is a fresh and raw fish marinated using vinegar, onion, ginger, salt, and chili. For some it might be look so unusual eating raw fish but there is also other county eat raw fish same as we do.

Dog Meat: Now a days, a lot of Filipino still eat dog meat as a day to day recipe or for just for pulutan. Eating dog meat is not allowed in our country and it is punishable by law but some of my hard headed countrymen still find a way taking dog as a food. I think, authority should implement a harder penalty for violator.

It is just a partial list of some Filipino unusual food, some of this food are my personal favorite especially balot and frog meat. For some it might be an unusual kind of food but for us, some of this food is part of culture and tradition.

How To Avoid Food Poisoning In Morocco

Posted on by

It is not always easy to avoid food poisoning if food becomes contaminated at your package tour hotel in Morocco but there are some things you should look out for.

Food should always be served and handled correctly. Food should never be served at room temperature and even food served buffet-style should be maintained at the correct temperature throughout service. Hot food should be piping hot and never lukewarm. Cold food should be properly chilled and served directly from a cold cabinet or fridge. Salads can be as dangerous as meat if they are not maintained at the proper temperature. Food should never be left uncovered as it will attract flies and other insects, and buffet style food should not be reheated day after day.

If you are attending a holiday barbecue, make sure all meats are cooked through and never served pink in the middle and only eat salad dressings which have been kept chilled and not left open to contamination. Any products which contain eggs must be cooked, including desserts and you should never eat runny eggs which are not cooked through. Only drink bottled water if the seal is intact and never ask for ice in drinks. Many all inclusive holiday hotels in Morocco offer all day snacks at pool bars. If pizzas, burgers and other fast foods are prepared and left out in the sun, they are likely to become contaminated quickly causing illness to holidaymakers when eaten.

Use your instincts when it comes to food and, if you suspect it may be contaminated, refuse to eat it. You may have to pay to eat outside the hotel but it will be worth it to avoid food poisoning. If you suffer holiday illness in Morocco, make a complaint to the holiday representative and sign a complaint form. Keep a copy of all paperwork and never accept any offer of vouchers or compensation as you could be entitled to much more with the help of a regulated personal injury solicitor in the UK. If you have already accepted compensation in any form from the tour representative, it may be difficult to claim a higher sum when you return to the UK.

When food is reheated day after day or when fresh food is mixed with older food, it will quickly become contaminated and holidaymakers often suffer symptoms of sickness and diarrhoea after eating infected food.

Whether you are staying at an all inclusive hotel in Morocco or you have paid to stay at a package tour hotel on a half board or full board basis, you should never be exposed to holiday illness and, if you become sick after eating food at the resort, you are well within your rights to make a claim for compensation from the tour operator as soon as you return home. Food poisoning is no joke and it can cause major illness if it is not treated quickly.

Contact a no win, no fee solicitor in the UK and claim compensation for loss of enjoyment of your holiday, pain and suffering and medical expenses if you feel your illness was caused by the negligence of the tour operator. By using a no win, no fee personal injury solicitor you have nothing to lose and it wont cost you a penny to make a claim.

Brazil People And Food

Posted on by

Brazil has hundreds of miles of pristine and undeveloped beaches that stretch from the tropical north to Rio de Janeiro and all the way down to the border with Uruguay. With cities such as Rio, there are plenty of developed areas to buy in and be near the ocean, but there are also many less expensive areas farther north. The most popular stretch of coast for new development and international investment is in the northeast, stretching from Salvador, in the state of Bahia, around Natal at the tip of Brazil and up to Fortaleza.

While this part of the country has long been popular with Brazilians as an ideal place to take a vacation, it hasn’t been nearly so well known to foreigners. That means that home and property prices are still relatively low, particularly when compared to traditional retirement havens such as Florida, California and the Caribbean.

Major investment is ongoing to improve Brazil’s infrastructure and create purpose built tourist facilities. Due to increased efforts by its government, Brazil experienced 48% growth in its tourism industry between 2002 and 2005, with further growth predicted in 2006.

Few places in the world provide the same welcoming atmosphere to newcomers like Brazil. Over the initial miscegenation basis, a slavery society was then built, which never succeeded in eliminating an already traditional custom and that could be evidenced in the offspring from white and black people, black and Indians, mulattos and white people, white people and Indians. At Independence time, these people had developed an identity in such a vigorous manner that neither divisions nor internal political disputes could be seen over the country’s territory. On the contrary, the nation was formed based on arrangements that for European eyes and even for Brazilian ones often seemed to be absurd, but which, up to these days, still work on an unusual way.

If you want to know more about Brazil culture, find out about Brazil food, which like all other country food is characterized by a wide variety of food stuffs. They have got an appreciable appetite for all kinds of foods. Brazil foods generally depend on nutritious food than apparently sumptuous dishes. They have specified choice for breakfast, lunch and dinners which do not vary a lot from the major North American dishes.

A Brazilian would not prefer to eat during walking, riding or doing other thing. They will rather wait for the food to get consumed instead of diverging attention. They even do not like to consume food anywhere on the street or in workplaces. They take frequent sips of coffee. Brazilian children learn table manner at a very early age.

Dishes obtained tastes which are enjoyed in every single bite and cherished for a long time by the eaters. Some popular Brazilian Dishes include:

Brigadeiro

Pastel

Tapioca

Vatap

Feijoada

Caipirinha

Po de Queijo

After knowing Brazil better, you realize that Brazil is a beautiful country to invest in and holds fantastic investment opportunity for foreigners.

Smart, Stylish Pet-food Storage Solutions

Posted on by

If pets had their way, they’d raid the bags containing their kibble and help themselves to an all-day feast, every day. This is hardly a desirable scenario, as it leads to obesity and digestive upset, so take care to store food where pets can’t get at it while you’re not looking.

Dogs, by the way, are not the only ones guilty of raiding bags of kibble; hungry cats have also been known to apply their claws and teeth to almost-full bags – even those heavy-duty foil models! – and help themselves to heaps of between-meal snacks.

Most pet-food storage containers are made of plastic, which is porous (so their contents are not safe from bacteria) and easily gnawed open by a large, determined dog.

Pet-supply stores sell large clips to “reseal” opened bags of kibble – but these do nothing to prevent the contents from growing stale, or permitting the entry of hungry insects.

Happily, there are much better, more sanitary ways to store large bags of opened kibble.
If there’s room in your refrigerator, stick the opened bag of kibble in there. Or, decant the contents of the bag into glass food-storage jars. These are widely available at kitchen-supply stores and online, and they come in a variety of sizes and shapes, from round to square. Some have threaded metal lids, others close with a rubber washer that securely closes with a metal clamp.

If you’d like double protection – refrigeration plus a glass jar – investigate refrigerator glassware, widely available in nesting sets, complete with convenient plastic lids. Just don’t subject glass that isn’t made for refrigerator storage to your fridge’s chilly atmosphere, or it will crack and break, and you’ll have wasted all that kibble.

In the fridge or out, glass jars keep pets and bugs away from the food, and they look quite decorative just sitting there on your kitchen counter or shelf. The good habit of transferring kibble from the bag to the jar could even inspire you to be better about putting away flour, sugar, and other bagged food items!

HOMEMADE CARP BOILIES AND RECIPES – Mainline Cell And CC Moore Live System Boilie Recipes!

Posted on by

I am a CC Moore bait consultant. This means that I have direct input into the creation and development of new products, inspiring ideas and innovations, pushing forward developments into new products that seriously work. It also means that I have privileged insight into make up of various baits and this builds upon the depth of existing knowledge and inside information I already know about how and why boilies work like Cell, Live System, and Odyssey etc that can help you improve your catches!

One experience I had in helping anglers involved a misconception that Mainline Cell is basically the same as Live System. All I can possibly give away regarding CC Moore Live System is that in my comparative analysis tests and input from contacts in the trade etc is that the primary live active component of Mainline Cell though highly stimulatory in its own right and the main food group enzyme active source, has its limitations compared to the entire processes and workings of CC Moore Live System.

By this I aim to refer to the base cost which infers that on comparison, the quality protein content of live System is superior in certain ways, regarding feed triggering potential. I will not go further than this as my speculative conclusions on differences in performance, but in my tests using very high levels of quality protein homemade baits with exceptionally high feed triggering potential, Mainline cell is massively easier to beat in terms of numbers of fish caught, compared to live system boilies, though live system boilies were defeated in my tests using my homemade baits too.

However, though both baits are highly digestible, they have certain limitations as with any readymade bait made for profit, which makes each a form of compromise to meet profitability requirements and also meet expectations of anglers’ perceptions.

Live System contains certain elements never before used in commercial baits in the UK. It has natural enzyme activity which enhances the natural digestibility of the milk protein, egg protein, and other protein elements included including various concentrated yeast products in generous levels, plus many other factors including addictive milk sugar enhanced with feed triggering enhancers.

Mainline cell contains a live yeast product which in effect seeds the bait so as to make the bait enzyme active, thus breaking down the various coconut oil, hydrolyzing it, and helping partially to digest the majority of the bait being carbohydrate products. Within Mainline Cell, the main yeast product used is very potent, so relatively little is required for fish to detect it, and also have it seed the bait and activate it to create an enzyme active bait.

However having used very similar formats of live yeast baits and yeast seeded baits in the past in testing and research using various yeast strains, multiple purpose enzyme products, peptide products, concentrated live yeast cattle feed conversion optimizers etc, I estimate from my examination of the baits and catch results that Mainline Cell appears in effect to contain far less yeast and milk derived actual protein in terms of true feeding trigger potential and its cost indicates it has to be primarily a carbohydrate based bait as opposed to being a protein based bait! Live system ingredients and additives appear to contain a higher capacity for true feeding trigger release containing a wide spectrum of very potent feeding trigger protein dense additives and ingredients. This bait is certainly not simply bulked out for maximum profits with maize and soya for instance!

Both baits work, are very highly digestible and each contain active yeast factors yet there are many profound differences in elements used and their combined effects on each other, their profiles of triggers and their densities, as well as how carp identify each bait and their elements individually and in combination. Both baits are improved by soaking in extra liquid products which in a way just demonstrates that they are not actually optimised for effect or such adding of liquids would make no difference to results!

I design my own homemade baits, and in what I teach one to one in person I never use maize, semolina or soya, and use totally different off the scale true feeding trigger dense materials; my homemade baits have zero need of any additional liquids or dips as they are truly profoundly optimised and maximised already!

So in my experience of actual comparative bait testing of each of these 2 readymade baits, and in making far more potent versions of these baits as homemade baits (completely redesigning making feed triggering capacity massively,) all I can say is that with the correct teaching, you too can defeat these 2 baits with great ease!

In contrast to readymade baits, my truly optimised for function and maximised for internal and external performance homemade baits are just off the normal scale in terms of potent feed triggering capacity, bioactive potency, and other profoundly powerful aspects. These extend not merely to intrinsic natural and induced and additionally augmented enzyme activity, but to far more profound probiotic and prebiotic aspects and many other much more effective cumulative and instant aspects, that really put such bait paradigms outside of profitable realms for a bait company to produce!

And this is where things get very interesting indeed for the angler needing and wanting to improve his catches using truly optimised and seriously maximised for effects and functions homemade baits!

Instead of using for example spending whatever cost amount on 10 kilograms of readymade baits, he really can achieve the same amount of catches using a tenth of that volume of bait using far more potent homemade bait. You just do not tend to even hear anything like this in the videos or magazines all in effect paid for by tackle and bait companies and their vested interests, because to say their products can be beaten is not something they like to admit to the masses!

But there are enough anglers reading independently outside of the vested interest world of big companies that really do know and appreciate from their own thinking and own experiences, that in going your own way, and doing your own thing, with sound guidance, produces better results than just copying the latest bait rig etc in the monthly magazines.

For some anglers an element of fear comes up when considering going their own way, and giving up on expensive readymade baits. But they need to see the bigger picture that actually there was a time when everyone made their own homemade baits and that very many of the guys that sell bait commercially today are still basically making baits to recipes and bait thinking and bait paradigms that are in effect 50 years old; which can be very drastically improved upon right now by using new thinking!

So this new thinking is a massive edge, but few anglers actually know about it because it cannot be exploited by bait companies and so does not get talked about in the magazines videos etc.

I did a comparison between one of my personal bait tuition clients and his homemade baits, fished against his brother who was a Mainline Cell typical weekend warrior type of angler. Half way through the day, despite hundreds of kilograms of Mainline Cell being introduced previously in to the lake which was Puma Lake on the Monk lakes complex in Kent, fished side by side, the Cell baits had only caught under half the number caught on the homemade baits.

Then I arrived and gave some more tips and my own personal baits to test against Cell, at which point the guy using my homemade baits had so many takes he could only get 1 rod out at a time, and meanwhile his brother using Cell blanked for the rest of the afternoon, until I gave him a couple of my baits, and 15 minutes later he caught the biggest fish of the day!

Now here is the question of the immediate response of the anglers actually experiencing this readymade bait versus truly optimised and maximised homemade bait paradigm test in action, first-hand!

The angler who had my bait tuition using one of my lesser refined paradigms of bait caught over twice as many fish in the morning as his brother did using Mainline Cell. Then in the afternoon it was just so hectic using my most refined paradigm of bait that the homemade bait guy could only get one rod out instead of three, and meanwhile his brother blanked for the rest of the afternoon using Cell.

At the end of the test day the comment that the Cell boilie fishing brother made about the results, (after being a totally and completely conditioned Cell and Korda angler,) was that he will never use another readymade bait again in his life!

He even asked me why I am not a millionaire knowing what I do know and knowing what I teach to my one to one clients. I replied that I never learned what I learned for money; I did it to learn the truth about what works and how and why it works and how to ask the really awkward questions that bait companies avoid all the time! I mean questions like how to defeat all of the most well known leading brand readymade baits!

I originally learned about bait (full time,) to help people improve their quality of life, internally, by becoming far more aware that they really are what they eat, and that directly effects their inner balance, health, disease resistance, this directly effects their energy levels, mood changes, enthusiasm, vitality, and ultimate effectiveness and happiness in life and of those close to them and who are influenced by them too! I went into research with a holistic approach, never imagining where it might lead!

I never went into bait research and bait testing on the normal basis of making maximum profits by selling readymade baits bulked out with cheap low protein ingredients! That is in fact a very certain and sure way to create seriously under optimised and under maximised ranges of baits for maximised profits, yet the bait industry is rammed with companies from the bottom to the top of the market doing this!

The vast majority of anglers buy their bait on a cost per kilogram basis because that is what they misguidedly think is what matters. But what matters are aspects of potency per kilogram that induce fish feeding instantly! And I am not referring to instant over loaded flavour type attractor baits or so-called food baits, but truly a new truly optimised paradigm of bait never ever seen by any readymade bait buying anglers!

The true value of a bait is how potently it changes fish feeding behaviours and most especially actual true feeding in many very profound ways and levels, instantly and cumulatively!

This true cost is a cost far higher than bait companies can afford to have in order to make a profit. So they compromise all the time! This is even more the case as raw materials have skyrocketed in recent years!

In fact I just went into bait research out of necessity from being forced out of my career as a professional commercial grower and horticulturalist, as a result of a back injury, just at the point the world depression was striking. So I simply went into this bait research and testing as a stop gap and I self published my first ebook on it on homemade bait optimising and on changing paradigms of food baits and beating readymade baits in my later ebooks some yet unpublished, and then I suddenly realised I have been in this work full time for 7 years now! How time flies!

How deep the rabbit hole goes! And the more I come to know the more I see a bigger picture of how readymade baits are simply under optimised and are certainly not maximised for success in so many ways, but are compromises of factors regarding actual constituents and formats and processes and operations and internal and external and water reactive and other impacts and effects!

As Frank Warwick and many other leading bait icons have told me, I have a unique perspective because I do not have any vested interest in running my own bait company. I simply write what I have studies and I and my 1-1 bait tuition clients and ebook and article readers world wide have reported and fed back to me in terms of actual results on effectiveness of what works!

Imagine being at the hub of many contacts in the bait trade and being able to condense that knowledge and insight into new bait paradigms, too costly to sell as readymade baits for maximum profits, but so potent that they can be taught to people one to one in intensive tuition, so they can use a tenth of the volume of bait they used to use, and still catch as many if not more big fish!

This paradigm has already proved to catch fish which are rarely caught on readymade baits. This is in part because this new homemade bait paradigm is so potently optimised for internal and external impacts, feeding trigger density and water reactivity, changing water column molecularly, changing fish feeding modes directly, and changing fish brain chemistry directly among so many other factors!

Thus far, the largest fish caught on this homemade bait paradigm by my bait tuition guys has been the Elphicks North Lake mirror at 62 pounds.

I have found over the past 7 years that all this and more can be taught very simply one to one!
