Lived in the Philippines for 9 years. Never once tried this dreg.

I was in and out of there for 4 years (58-62) and don’t think I tried any of this.
Tried most anything at that time.
Eating ‘fried treats’ on the streets of Olongapo allows me to say I have probably eaten most ‘anything’.
Green San Magoo was always good for last night in port...Really ‘felt’ it next AM when getting underway. Most everyone walking around like zombies..
AH...good times...
Hey old man, I was born in ‘62. Retired just in the last few months. I married a beautiful Filipina. The youngest of 9 children.
Her dad fought with the US Army during WWII. He was a teenager at the time.
One of the few to receive the US promise of citizenship for his efforts in that war. Her uncle, his brother, procrastinated and lost out when the US later reneged on this promise.
While her dad never made it to the USA his citizenship made our marriage and her eventual naturalization a very smooth process.
In those days marrying a foreign national was a paperwork hassle not easily overcome. Years of hassle and costs was eliminated because of her dad’s timely processing of required documents in the time immediately after WWII.
His brother’s procrastination cost him. As the USA later reneged upon that promise. Thousands of Filipino’s who were eligible for citizenship because of General MacArthur’s promise were later denied citizenship when the USA later reneged on that promise.
