Tamilok looks nasty but I would eat it. Although some vinegar makes it taste better. Anyway, Lakers win. Lakers win. Onward to San Antonio for game 3.

zena, I just happened to watch a portion of the program Pinoy Big Brother last night and they had the contestants munching on tamilok on camera. They looked a bit gross, but to each their own. And besides, I worry about hunting through mangroves to harvest them… but a native from Palawan assures me they are feasting on a section of the decaying mangrove roots or branches…

Hey, MM, did you try tamilok when you were in Palawan? I didn’t know what it was but was told to order it upon a Palawan friend’s recommendation. The resto didn’t have it and when i saw it featured on TV, i was VERY glad they didn’t. It was a very long worm that lives inside mangroves. They flush the inside with water but still looked very wormy to me. Again, probably a texture thing.

Hi Marketman! I am a lurker-fan! Hehe. You are right, the texture of lukot is of a soft noodle and a bit slimy if I may add. I get to eat it often either in our tinolang isda or as kinilaw with sliced tomatoes, onions, ginger, and vinegar! More power to you Sir!
