I think MM made a good point about eating wild animals…if you eat fish caught in the wild, why is it any more offensive to eat a wild bird? unless it IS considered endangered (which means it’s actually criminal to poach/kill them) then there is absolutely no difference. I have noticed the MM and the regular readers respect vegetarians and their beliefs, but i hope that vegetarians, and maybe even people who feel strongly against eating wild animals should also give us carnivores a wide berth.

anyhoo, i also grew up eating these small birds, and they are QUITE good. my mom also makes them into adobo but we usually fry it before eating to take some more of the gaminess out of the meat.

market man...pls do try the tikling and ulok...these avians are really savoroso....i see those birds hanging on roadside stalls along the hi-way in bay laguna....frogs and ''baragan snails'' are sold there too...anyway..these wild poultry are best cooked ''adobado'' style or adodobado de sangke'' with ''kuchay'' sprouts....

Marketman your “pitaw’ makes a hot topic…sorry I’ll join the vegetarians for now…L.O.L. and yes, there are a lot of migratory birds not just in eastern Australia; here in Perth, too. Those with feathers and without feathers variety…L.O.L.

hello Joey C,

Snipes are locally known as Kamang. Tikling is the local name of Barred Rail, non-endemic. Great Painted Snipe is locally known as Po-ok because of the sound it makes “pook”

i love them marinated and grilled…yummy

hope this helps.

Flying V,you are OT (off topic) go to the bird watcher site .
Anyway, snipe are good eating birds ( locally called tikling) . There are plenty of kinds painted , common ,tikling kabayo& etc. The best for eating are the painted .Preparations of these birds differ from place to place . I have tasted adobo from Bulacan with siling labuyo & a friend of mine would cook it with Balsamic vinigar & olive oil. Availability , medyo hard to find in markets the best is to look for it on your own .And the painted snipe are plentyful in the months of Oct till Jan

Flying V, Just want you to know that your Wiki source for which you have actually cut and paste the lathams snipe information. Listed the species as LC or least concern. Which put it under the lower category of the lower risk.

Oh one more thing I wouldn’t actually believe all the things that are written on Wiki. I can actually create my own version of Pitaw or snipes information on wiki which I would say the best tasting adobo :)

Flying V seems to have a nice little Latham’s snipe up his/her butt. Attempting to present obviously researched information as stock knowledge is plagiarism. Misspelling narcissism is ignorance. So is equating being Filipino with a lack of education or money: “You can hide behind your money and education but you canâ€™t shed the FILIPINO in you.”

Do us all a favor and never come back.
