| Bisukol in Gata |
After an almost half-day heavenly spa, we dropped by the office where Rio spent the last two weeks at Quezon Hill, and they served us this brown-colored snails in gata (coconut cream).
Whew! I remember I hate eating this when I was a kid. Not because it does not taste good, but because it takes sometime and effort for you to get that tiny flesh in it. You have to literally slurp the broth inside the shell to coax the flesh to come out using a fork, a chopstick or a barbecue stick.
Bisukol is chewy with soft rubbery feel against the tongue, and it's delicious!
They thrive uncultured and they are mostly available in the market when it rains. During the rainy season in the Philippines, which is between July to October, the rice fields are usually flooded prompting the bisukol to emerge from the ground.
They are smaller and darker in color than the escargot that we know, but they are of the same species.
