I wasn’t not force to eat them neither enjoy my discomfort but I really wanted to since I grew up near the sea.

1. Wood worm (Tamilok)- The tamilok, a wood worm which tastes like your familiar oyster, is a famous delicacy found in Palawan. Although it looks like a worm, it is actually a mollusk found inside rotting mangroves. The word ‘tamilok’ was surprisingly coined by two Americans. They started calling one of their friends - "Tommy, look!", after seeing the locals eating the tree worm. The locals adopted this term to refer to this wood worm delicacy

2. Sea Urchin (Echinoidea) - People that like Sea urchin describe it as being rich, creamy, and a bit sweet. It is briny with a slightly nutty flavor and one person I spoke to said that it has a slight sweetness that is similar to raw scallops.

    In “Too Fishy for my Taste Buds”, written by Bill McEwen, he suggests the idea to not use the River Restoration Plan. Similarly, I don’t believe in spending so much money, for a plan with no absolute guarantee. In my opinion, the Restoration plan is expensive and overall quite trivial. Although, I agree with McEwen, it isn’t only because of his great thesis but also because he is proven to be very credible. He’s given this title because of his 35-year career at Fresno Bee.…
