Goat brains, orange maggots, 100-day-old eggs and more, is it possible to eat these foods off the TV show?
In the reality show ‘At the limit‘, the Food Tasting was something to talk about among the spectators, as the attendees had to deal with dishes such as: orange larvae, worms, chicken guts, 100 day old eggs and goat brains and tongue.
So the question arose: is it possible to eat this type of dish out of the program? Can I find these foods in restaurants and markets? Let’s get rid of some of these doubts now!
one hundred day old egg
This dish is an exotic, traditional delicacy of Chinese culture, also known as a centenary egg, millennial egg or preserved egg. It can be prepared with various types of eggs, such as duck, goose, chicken and quail eggs.
The worst parts of the dish are definitely the look and smell. On the outside it takes on a very dark brown hue and the smell of the egg, which no longer pleases many senses, becomes even more pronounced.
The dish is still served in China today and is easily found in restaurants and markets. In Brazil you can also find Liberdade neighborhood in Sao Paulo, and we found a restaurant in Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, that sells this delicacy, even for delivery. is called China Town restaurantin the menu you can find the dish called ‘Black Egg’, it is made from duck egg and comes with soy sauce.
Address: Rua Afonso Pena, 13 – Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro
Goat tongue and brain
Goat parts are mainly used in dishes in the northeastern region of Brazil. They are excellent sources of protein and are usually served in a stew. They actually taste raw food, but in “real life” this is not a very common practice.
In Recife, the restaurant Among friends – The goatspecializes in various cuts of goat meat, there you can enjoy it in various ways, they also have goat hearts on the menu.
Addresses: R. Marquês de Valença, 50 – Boa Viagem, Recife or R. da Hora, 695 – Espinheiro, Recife.
In São Paulo, a good option for those who want to taste goat meat is the Northeast Traditions Center (CTN)despite the main dish being Buchada de Bode, which is made with other parts of the goat, you can feel the flavor and learn more about this type of meat.
Address: R. Jacofer, 615 – Limão, San Paolo.
earthworms
Another food that is traditionally eaten in China is usually paired with meats or used to make soups. Earthworms are high in protein, but they are not common in Brazilian cuisine.
Eating this delicacy in these parts is not that easy, other countries such as Thailand, Mexico and England They have restaurants with such dishes.
orange larva
Orange larvae, like earthworms, are also rich in proteins, but in our country they are not commonly consumed. They are used extensively for fishing, so it’s easy to find them on websites like Mercado Livre.
Despite this, the larvae are used in cooking around the world and according to a report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the consumption of larvae and insects could be the future of our foodbecoming a key point for the eradication of hunger in the world.
chicken tripe
It is a cheaper protein food option than the one we traditionally eat. It is also an excellent source of fiber.
Although it can be consumed, not easily found on restaurant menus. Other types of tripe, such as veal, are much more used, mainly for the assembly of the Porto Moda tripe dish. Pork tripe is also successful, especially in the famous farofa tripe.
Chicken and chicken casings are available for sale on the Internet, but are often used as fishing lures. Therefore, they are sold by many fishing sites and also by Mercado Livre.
