10 Extremely weird—and gross—food that Pinoys love to eat

A lot of Pinoys are truly fond of eating weird food, such as eating almost all edible animal c parts—even those that are supposed to be discarded for health and safety reasons. We’re talking  gizzards, intestines, hearts, livers, necks, and feet (called offal in food circles).
