At least one of us out there had Filipino blood stew for Valentine’s Day dinner, and seeing how nobody reads this blog, I guess its me. The stew is called Dinuguan, or in the dialect that my people speak its called Dinardaraan, and its not for the faint of heart. The pig blood is cooked for a while until it becomes a thick, dark gravy that looks a lot like chocolate sauce. It looks so much like it in fact that in most American pinoy restaurants the dish is called “Chocolate Meat.” Then a little garlic, chili and some pork (innards and skin in mine tonight) and you have some good eatin’. Better get out there and try some. . .just dont do it on Valentine’s day like we did, not the most romantic food in the world.
