Reply to comment by Paresalamat in [i ate]A Filipino sweet sauce with beef broth and cow's brain by Paresalamat

As a white-bread Englishman raised on skinless boneless fatless unseasoned fillets and boiled veg, I’m in. (I’ve spent 50 years pushing all the food boundaries). And I call bullshit on the prion fear - MCD/Creuzfeldt-Jacob was caused by shitty practices, mainly feeding herbivore cattle on processed food made from cattle. This was a practice of the industrialised West.

Any chance of a name for the dish so I can research it?

We call it "pares" literally translate to "pairs" as it's typically eaten with a fried rice. There are multiple classic toppings such as beef chunks, fats, skin, eye, brain, genitals. But there are some modern iterations too such as chicharon, deep fried pork belly, fertilized duck egg and so on. It's popular among Filipino workers as it's typically a cheap way to fill up.

Oh, it can be made with beef tendons. That’s going on the to do list.

Thank you. I’m a worker (chef) so it will do me fine. Appreciate you sharing.
