American Kids Try Filipino Food For The First Time. How Did They React? Find Out Here


Popular Filipino dishes such as lechon (whole roasted pig), longganisa (Philippine sausage), tapa (cured beef), torta (omelette) kaldereta (meat in tomato sauce stew), dinuguan, adobo and many others were among the favorite foods in the country. 

Some of these Filipino food takes the spotlight on American media, this time with seven adorable kids taking on challenge in eating for the first time some of our popular dishes like dilis, dinuguan, balot and taho.

The kids showed diverse, amusing reactions to each dish. According to a little girl, they do smell delicious, but they don't know yet what they are in for.

The American kids first tried the dilis, a dried small fish eaten as a whole.   These kids couldn’t get the fact that they were about to eat the head of a fish and its bones as well.

Next, they tried the dinuguan, a Filipino dish that is made of pork meat cooked in pig's blood, vinegar and spices. Only few kids tried it and almost wanted to vomit upon knowing that they have eaten blood.

"Blood can’t be solid, it’s liquid. Sorry, I don’t believe you," said one of the kids after learning that the dinuguan he just tried is made of pig’s blood.

The kids are disgusted by what the balut, a developing bird embryo that is boiled and eaten from its shell, looked like. 

Then the dessert, a taho, a street food sold by peddlers made of processed soybeans topped with sago.
