I Like Young Chicks
Philippines.
In the backpacker hotel area of Cebu City, we stopped at a restaurant/bar called Sideline. The staff here was super friendly and helpful to the weird meat team tonight. They layed out a plate of the raw, whole "one day old chicks" for our camera before serving us the plate of 20 batter-fried baby birds. You eat the whole things because the bones are so soft. I did spit out a few tiny feet parts because they were getting stuck in my teeth. At least I assume they were future feet parts. Would-be future feet, to be precise.
Everyone else rambled on in Cebuean (different from Tagalog), but "one day old chick" was always said in English. Unfortunately, the restaurant didn't have any "Lansiao" today, that's cow penis. I haven't done cow penis yet.
You might ask why one would eat a one-day-old-chick, when the bird could grow into a larger animal more efficient at feeding the people. Well, I asked, but all we could come up with was that people like the taste. I'll go along with that, they are pretty tasty. They're a beer snack, and we dipped them in vinegar and red chili sauce, between sips of Red Horse Extra Strong and San Miguel. It takes about two bites to consume one of these little birdies. If one-day-old-birds are too old for your taste, then try the balut.
[Special thanks to my assistant Arnold, who has a little shop with skate and punk clothes and accessories, and even CDs of independent Philipino rock bands. Cool stuff. The store is called Guerilla Wear and it's at Mango Square Mall in mid/uptown Cebu City, Gen.Maxilom Street off that main central north-south road.]

If heaven only serves beef, chicken, bass, brocoli, and potatos, maybe it is better to end up in hell.
I don't know about the meat, but I'm down with the beer. Red Horse ain't too bad.
Yay sick fucks!
you have any nude pix?
Cow penis? I think you'll find it is the bull that has the penis, not the cow
I've tried lots of strange foods, but I could never eat baby birds, or the balut for that matter!
I'm from Manila. Day old chicks are actually rejects from poultry farms. They only choose the female chicks for egg productions and the male chicks ends up as what you have eaten.
You are a sick human being. It's ignorant people like you who encourage the inhumane treatment of animals who have do not deserve to go through this type of pain. I hope you and your children rot in hell.
Erm...to the last comment.
Those little birdies don't look like they're in pain at all. They look kinda dead actually.
Also...if they were going to be killed anyway as someone else suggested, better to eat them then waste them, ya?
i've had balut, but not these.
FYI it's Filipino with an F
I just want to say that this is very disgusting, and that I think this is sick, and y not let them grow up, and if you must kill them well at least you will get more meat off of them, and be able to feed more people. This is just nasty, and i wouldn't want any little birds feet sticking in my teeth. Also, y don't they just eat the baby's that have been aborted. I f you r that sick, u might as well eat that too.
I'm surpised you managed to remember anything after drinking the mighty Red Horse! seriously I could write a blog on all the crazy shit I've done after a couple of bottles of that stuff...could call it weirdbeer.com
its dumb how people blame you as the sick person. What do they suggest as a better choice ?? Let the chicken grow up see the world and then kill it ??? Do you really think its a huge favour ur doing to the chicken ?? Inhumane treatment it seems. Apparently its not inhuman to kill it when its an adult.

"Also, y don't they just eat the baby's that have been aborted. I f you r that sick, u might as well eat that too."
in that sense sir , u maybe able to eat a full grown human if ure sick enough to eat a fully grown chicken ????
I just dont get what theyre trying to prove.One snitch in the article though :-? How can a cow have a penis ???
How funny//// I d like to try this... I love good food, but some of your stories is so fun, after reading ur block I want to try some weird food....
Im russian... come to russia to try some strange food here... we have some very weird food on the north of russia ...
"Also, y don't they just eat the baby's that have been aborted"
Wait, like aborted HUMANS or chickens? Regardless, eggs are potential fetuses and people eat those, as the person who posted that comment probably does. I don't know why people bother arguing at you on your own site, I think it's neat stuff.
