Friday my Town Shoot-Out~ Smell/Taste




In the Philippines we are used to eat this dried pusit or dried squid. We fry it or grill. When I cook this one I have to cook it outside (grin) because it will stink the whole house!! I know you can't smell it here so you can't imagine stinky it is lol! But here is my DH's description " it smells like a used sock" ewww!

Uncooked dried squid..smells ewww ^_^

fried dried squid, taste like salty cracker





My pink and white peonies. I missed there sweet smell.











I am not a dessert person but when I saw this strawberry/blueberry pie I knew I have  to try it. Ain't so pretty looking pie? And it taste so good too!

When my mum was [regnant with my 6th sibling, she had a craving for your BBQ squid. We squatted downstairs while she BBQ over a small wood fire. Then we pounded it, and dip it is a sweet chilli sauce. I was 4 years old. We squatted and sat or rather sucked the sauce.

Thanks for great memories.

oH.. I missed that kind of smell too Manang Kim.. Squid and danggit are my favorite. But they are expensive here.

I think I would like the squid, except for the smell of course!

Those peonies are beautiful. I love all types of flowers.

When we eat squid here, we batter it and is called Calamari.

Lovely photos!

Dried squid and dried octopus really really smell big-time! My son brought some back from Japan, and I didn't know what to do with it! I guess I do now, starting with taking it outside when you open the bag!

Strange how some foods that taste so good, smell so bad before and during cooking. For me it would be best to leave the cooking to someone else!
Really enjoyed your smells.

Amazing captures.

I know that stinking smell, but I don't mine since they are so delicious! I like to cook the dried squid in chilli, but they need to be soaked overnight to soften it.

I think all seafood is best cooked out side. always leaves a lingering smell. very nice shoot out!! flowers are so pretty.

That strawberry blueberry pie just looks like something I could smell and eat without hesitation.
Wonderful photos....

Tes said...

Ooh those squids look good, Manang Kim! Mouth-watering! YUM!

I'm sorry Jama, but your photos of the squid made me wince. Ewww! I have a weak stomach and my taste buds don't like seafood. The smell is really a turn off. I'm glad you put some photos of the flowers in there to replace the awful image of the squid.

I'm with Pauline, I like trying new taste but the foods are best left to the experts to cook. I love boiled shrimp - but never get them because Camillo can't stand the smell. course he doesn't like the smell of popcorn either - what does that tell you....

I will have to go look in the 'oriental stores' here to see if I can find this squid. Grilled sounds good to me!
