the bitter taste is not a fecal matter…it is the lining of the intestine called lumen..beides fecal matters don’t stay in the intestine…food goes right through there then getting the nutrients…it is then digested and the rest is history…

clear? lol

well there are some vendors naman here in the philippines who boil it first and some make it as an adobong isaw bago itransfer sa mga skewers… if they are cooked thoroughly naman i guess it won’t cause you any trouble unless na lng if hindi napapasukan ng germs ung katwan mo… if maarte talaga but you crave for this street food, i would suggest that you do it at home so you’ll know its really clean…

its considered a “pinoy” delicacy, a truly tatak pinoy food…rather saying something bad about it…try to experiment on how we can improve this dish or somehow know the proper way of handling this items to avoid contamination and food borne illnesses…

Did someone say that isaw is improperly cooked and cleaned? And that the bitter taste is fecal matter? Paano nya nalaman na fecal matter nga you? nakatikin na ba sya ng fecal matter? Well if indeed it is disgusting and dirty, it will eventually cause disease among those those who patronize this food. We shouldn’t have any population problem then.

Disgusting foods to some is a delicacy to some.

Hi!
Your interesting post on “Isaw” made me look it up in Wikipedia. It states in a brief article that the intestines are turned inside out and cleaned’ hence no faeces to be ingested.
However I have never tried isaw and am unlikely to ever try it, just like “Adidas”, deep fried chicken fetuses, cock’s combs and other delights our inventive people manage to salvage from going onto the scrap heap. I am all for ecological eating and not wasting anything, so I am glad a use is found for these items.
