Waxing nostalgic, James stretched out on the couch to watch Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern featuring foods from the Philippines. Every dish of adobo brought back sweet memories of his mom and the meals she made for him growing up.
Bub sat on the floor and followed along, but after one too many featured meals of balut (duck embryo eaten in the shell), stir fry with coconut grubs, and pork-filled frog bellies, he exclaimed,
"I hate the Philistines. They're gross!"
I don't know about the Philistines,
but I know when we visit the Philippines,
I plan to pack peanut butter in my bag.

All I can say is that your last post was much more appetizing... and I don't even like Jack In The Box. :)
Love Bub's comment. Okay, maybe I'm just really dumb but I had no idea that was James' heritage. Now I'm trying to figure out what I thought he was and I don't know that either. Oh, I'm off to a brilliant start this morning.
Ok, they would totally win on Fear Factor! (At least the gross eating contest part.)
Yes, give me peanut butter ANY day of the week!
I have to agree with Bub. Yuck.
um, grossssssssssss!
That is so funny! AS for the food, I would have to take a pass.
