Offal in the Market

Leave a comment Posted by on August 27, 2013

Offal availability in wet markets isn’t uncommon as consumption of offal dishes in the country is very common. I had beef guts in Pangasinan as beef pinapaitan is a regular fare in that province.

Not a gourmet food but an everyday food in the country. Offal dishes such as dinuguan, bopis, papaitan/pinapaitan, isaw barbecue, sinanglaw, goto lugaw etcetera

It is common to see a tyre used as signage of a vulcanizing shop. You can see it clearly from the highway as you drive by.
