Isaw, chicken intestines, grilled/barbecued, is a popular street food in the Philippines. Marinated in vinegar, ketchup (banana) and other condiments and then skewered with bamboo stick and grilled right on live coals and then dipped into a vinegar with chili and onions or into a mixture of thick, sweet and spicy sauce. Not every body, even some self-professed gourmands or culinary aficionados may have the intestines, errr, guts, to try this Pinoy street delicacy. But aren't these ohotographs sweet and wicked temptation enough? Come on!
I prefer to make
isaw at home, though, when ever I can, as I am wary I may ingest those dreaded street germs causing some unpleasant and unnecessary ailments. Have your
isaw only on your trusted
isaw vendor to make sure it's prepared clean, at least.
There's a simple recipe at the Food Recap waiting, let's give it a try!

I ONLY eat Isaw if it's me who clean the intestines. The ones being sold on the street pavements are not quite reliable in terms of cleanliness of this foodstuff.
