They are called kuhol in the Philippines. The French call them escargot. And they are a delicacy in both cuisines. What are they? Edible snails. Guinataang Kuhol is a favorite appetizer in Filipino restaurants. It is also a popular pica-pica (fingerfood) that goes well with cold beer. I always stuff myself with kuhol at Filipino restaurants. That’s because I couldn’t cook them at home, not knowing where to buy them or how to prepare them. Until today.

one of the famous exotic food, is what we called the kamaru in ilocano called it ararawan,

A farmer’s favorite dish are rich in nutrients and it is juicy and flavorful. Everyone who tasted a dish made up of ararawan here said that is tastes better than chicken. To capture these insects farmers would put a marker on an area where there is a good concentration of crickets. The farmers will then pour water in the area and dance, this will force the crickets to get out of their lair and eventually will be captured one by one
