Are you salivating for exotic snail dishes? Get the recipe for for Ginataang Bayuko and Kalderatang Bayuko HERE:
Millions of years ago, our ancestors have relied on fishing and hunting for food. When these became scarce, they had to be more resourceful and creative, ergo some animals and insects became foods that we now consider as exotic -- like snails.
In the island of Mindoro, the ethnic group of the Mangyans have been eating a certain type of snail called the bayuko or land snails for many years. These bayukos can be found in forests, that's why they're very accessible to the Mangyans. They are bigger than the suso, which are found in rivers.
The Mangyans usually hunt for snails around seven o'clock in the evening onwards, since the snails usually come out at night, because they don't like bright and hot environment.
Pinas Sarap host Kara David recently learned how the Mangyans of Oriental Mindoro cook their favorite bayuko dishes. Get the recipes for Ginataang Bayuko and Kalderatang Bayuko in this episode of Pinas Sarap:
