I am a blue blooded Bicolana and I really love our Bicol Express dish.



We usually use Pork for cooking Bicol Express but for those who do not eat Pork they can use Beef or Chicken or seafoods instead.



I mentioned on my previous posts that I am not a picky eater. I eat whatever is served on our table (not from street vendors).

I learned that it was a Cow Skin dish. This is my second time eating Cow Skin actually. It was my sister who cooked the first one in coconut milk and this Cow Skin Bicol Express is from our neighbor.

I googled if it is safe to eat Cow Skin and found out that it is SAFE unless the animal has a disease or the skin was cleaned/prepared the wrong way. [READ THIS ARTICLE]
