00:00Let's see the results...
00:10What is this?
00:11Can I eat this?
00:15Is the coconut tree or the coconut tree's skin dried?
00:20It's hard but it doesn't smell bad.
00:24Did you melt the plastic?
00:26Can you guess the name of the new creature of Lolo?
00:30Pangil ng Maynila, is this a mystery object?
00:35What say you, Ketchup and Gwen?
00:37Is this a coconut?
00:38Coconut? No.
00:40It's smelly.
00:43It's smelly.
00:47It smells like soil.
00:49What's the price?
00:50The price is...
00:52This one looks different.
00:54Why are you looking at it?
00:56It looks like it's been dried and displayed.
01:01It looks like a cockroach's skin.
01:06A tree's bark.
01:09Okay, Ketchup and Gwen.
01:10You're up next.
01:11Listen well.
01:15Do you believe that this is not a mystery object?
01:17What is this?
01:20It's a dried cow's skin.
01:22It's been dried for 10 years.
01:24And it's been impacted.
01:27Oh, come on.
01:33It's just a simple process to impact a cow's skin.
01:36It needs to be cleaned and washed well.
01:38And it needs to be salted so that it won't rot.
01:42It needs to be dried well.
01:45That's right.
01:46It's easy.
01:49I wonder.
01:50How did Gwen's process of impact start?
01:55According to food historian Jaime Salvador,
01:57this is the result of Gwen's discarding of food.
02:01In the past, there was no time for technology and modernization.
02:06The impact of food was for a longer period of time.
02:09Of course, first of all, it needs to be dried in the sun.
02:12It needs to be salted.
02:13It needs to be soaked in their cooking
02:16so that it will last longer.
02:19The food safety expert, Russell Teng,
02:22reminds us to make sure that the place where we buy our food is clean.
02:28Yes, it's still safe to eat.
02:29Even if the skin of a cow has been there for 10 years,
02:32as long as after it's been dried,
02:34it won't get wet or moist.
02:40In the old days,
02:41it was said that the content creator, Jonathan,
02:44was blessed with expensive utensils.
02:47And here on the other side,
02:49the main ingredient of the food he will cook today
02:53is dried cow skin that has been aged for a decade.
02:58Is that true, Jonathan?
02:59Can it still be eaten?
03:01Isn't that a pair of shoes?
03:04It's been aged for 10 years on the top of the hill.
03:08It's being set aside for later use
03:10because it's said that it's delicious to swallow the soup
03:13once the skin of the cow has been peeled off.
03:18Before we taste the delicious taste of dried cow skin,
03:29we need to go through the process of aging.
03:32We need to go through the process of aging.
03:39Oh, our pot is ready.
03:42Let's start cooking.
03:50It's not a joke to cook the skin of a cow.
03:56We need to scrape it repeatedly using a steel wool
04:00to clean it.
04:03At this point, we need the help of our friend,
04:07the pressure cooker.
04:09Because this is too hard.
04:11Let's put it here.
04:14Because if not, we might be able to taste it tomorrow.
04:18Next is the process of boiling the skin
04:20for several hours to soften it.
04:23Once the skin of the cow has been softened,
04:25we can now slice it and cook it in the cooking pot.
04:30Jonathan will serve it with dried cow skin in curry sauce.
04:34Ginger.
04:38We'll add the garlic at the same time.
04:40Sauté it.
04:43Season it.
04:47We'll add a little bit of salt.
04:50Season it.
04:56After boiling it for several hours,
04:59and after 10 years of sautéing and cooking,
05:04the dried cow skin curry is now ready.
05:13Since it's been a year since it was cooked,
05:15let's see how it tastes.
05:20How does it taste?
05:25It's just like a regular...
05:27Cow.
05:28Cow.
05:29But it has a different taste.
05:35Bikinamin!
05:36Diska diskatin lang yan, mga ka-wander!
05:40There are times when we're eager to eat anything.
05:44Don't waste food.
05:46Libring-libri lang ang pagbibilad.
05:51I wonder...
06:16I wonder...
