Philippines STRANGEST food! ETAG in Sagada | Travel Philippines Vlog

I'm a huge fan of Filipino food. Street food in the Philippines is some of my favourite because a lot of it is so different interesting, and tasty.
As a foreigner in the Philippines...Why go to a Filipino restaurant when you can get delicious Pinoy street food, and be eating Balut, Isaw, and other strange foods? Manila especially is great for this!

Just a few days before getting my Kalinga Tattoo from Whang Od in Buscalan we visited an Igorot village elder to get his permission to visit his ancestors at a hanging coffin site in Sagada. He was smoking a very important type of Igorot food called Etag. Etag is used in ceremonies in this part of the Philippines, I was interested in trying it because the traditional way of preserving it, invited maggots, beatles and all other sorts of insects into the process.

I'm so happy I was able to spend such quality time with Lakay Wa-Ow, try on his ceremonial necklace, and also buy his Etag.

I'm excited to share the second part at Amir's Birthday Party. Stay tuned!

Inspired by the Best ever food review show and their various interesting Filipino travel vlogs about foods like Catching and eating Wild Tamilok in Palawan.... Is this Philippines Strangest or Scariest Food?

Where are my Filipino and Filipina subscribers at!? Would you try this?

Most Filipino elders can speak English fluently . . . As what I observed😀

[delmacapagal]

So brave of you to try Etag. I think it's safe to eat, as the smoking process has cooked the meat, and that process along with the cool weather in Sagada helps to preserve the meat. Hope to see more of your adventures in the Philippine Islands. Be well. 🔥 😄

I appreciate the respect you showed to Patrick and his culture. One of my pet peeves is vloggers who sensationalize other people's way of life when it differs from their own.

[marthar]

Wow I saw there is my 🇳🇵 Nepal flag🙏🏻😍

[CampTlangram]

Watching this video makes me to noticed that we shared some similar lifestyle and traditions with Filipino.

Love Phillippines from Mizoram, NE.India.

[tunogkalyehh]

Big respect for the old man .. men i dint expect that .. he can speak english well than the tour guide 😂

[stop_jesting]

Many Filipino are saying that they're staying in the Philippines but never heard of this food named etag. Well, that's normal because there are more than 7000+ island in the Philippines composed of at least 200+ languages/dialects. Each had it's own culture and traditions so you can't describe the Philippines' culture as a whole because of its diverse culture.

Old generations in the Philippines are really good in english and sometimes even spanish. I love your vlog. Very unique and you're the first foreigner do this I think. Safe travels. Youre awesome!

The grandpa is 98 years old? It means he grew up during the American colonial period in the Philippines. He went to school which were staffed with American teachers brought all the way from the US. That explains why many of our elderly in the PH are very fluent in English. My grandparents and my parents did not have much money but they were educated and they required us to speak English at home. That has been a source of friction when i was growing up. But when i reached college, i came to appreciate why they did that and thankful to them. I intend to do that when i will have kids.

Ate an Etag already, it's a salted and smoked pork kept under the sun or hanging.

It taste like just smoked ham or bacon but with more nuttyness in it, no putrid taste or whatsoever.

However, the Etag featured in this one is one of the more hardcore types. Typically, the Etags you can buy in markets are well kept, handled, and doesn't have maggots. It's just like aged pork :)

Ako lang ba taga Cordillera Kalinga dto kaming Igorot lang malakas
