Okay, all right yeah and it's a very popular place. It's a unique this year. Wow, all right and so we are with Delpha. and these are the the legendary intestines which are actually stuffed and they're actually boiled already.

but then they're gonna be deep fried to give them that extra. Edge So we're gonna. We're gonna watch them as they deep fry them. Now that's a fresh batch all right.

So you come to the front here. they have all the organs laid out. they're all marinated, they're all seasoned, you choose what you want and then they go into the the oil to deep fry. I Mean they have a bunch of things.

but really they're famous for the large intestines which are stuffed right stuffed with onion leeks. You can see this. oh yeah you can see the the onions poking out of them. So green onions are leeks.

He's the one stuffed inside. Yeah, you can see this one here. It's the onion leak. so weak, some others are straight into the butt.

This area here. Yeah, that's the opening. Yeah, that's the opening. Oh that one is serious foreign.

's gonna go in with the vinegar and soy sauce. The double pour. All right. All right.

these are slightly slightly terrifying looking. They're like just Wiggly sausages all natural, that massive intestine and now a lot of people would get it chopped and fried. but this is the experienced move right here. Ben Said we got to get it whole before chopping.

that way we can pick up the whole thing and go vertical. Oh yes, there we go. Oh they're just dripping and oozing off. It's like a snake.

Oh and then again the same drill we we go into the salsa one. The salsa one is just. oh. you curl it.

Oh that's delicious. Yeah the onion in there. the wobbliness of it. It's chewy, it's crispy.

It is very clean tasting, very clean. They clean out all the Mickey using coffee. They actually cleaned the Poo out of it and stuff it. Replace the Poo with a within it with a green onion and so that's why it's actually very clean tasting.

Really good quality. Wow, that is the greatest. Pig Shoot, well just be honest, it's actually the butt area. Yes, Oh, but if that butt kind of provides a nice scooper, yeah you can scoop up more of the toppings, the chilies and the onions extra 50.

Well the that section is very crispy. like very like bouncy. That is quite amazing. I wish you could feel this in your fingers.

it's so squishy and wobbly. Yeah, the dipping sauce actually makes it really really spectacular as well. So tasty. And again, it's so much fun to eat like I Mean what wouldn't be more fun than grabbing an entire intestine and just biting it? Yeah, you got to make sure you do two pretty pretty well because it is like has a bouncy rubberness to it and the same thing here.

you would grab the push hole Yeah and then dip it into the salsa one. Okay, these are the three chopped ones. Also, these might be crispier because they're fries on more more edges. Again, do the dip.

There's a bit of a different texture when they chop it because it has more fried surface area for fried. but nothing can beat the fun of the whole the whole thing. Looks like people are loving this one. Dude, you are the intestines.

Champion Ben Yeah, you're smashing it Man, this has got to be one of the greatest intestine eating experiences in the world. And it's so much fun and so tasty. Friendly, local, laid back. This is probably the the most intestines action I've ever seen anywhere, but it is just so tasty.
