Last night, I dreamt I was watching a sitcom where someone made a Philippine dish of roasted duck tails (actually the fatty knob known as the "Pope's nose" on a chicken) and steamed bread. It was called (wait for it...) "patapán".

Also, while leaving Rosehill yesterday evening, I passed a tombstone engraved "BINMORE" and immediately wondered if the rest of the name was "Daniel Everbee".

Edit: Incidentally, "Pope's nose" isn't a word I'd ever used--or even heard of--until I picked it up from Nuphy (that godless Hollywoodite of indeterminate Protestant heritage).

Interesting, it's "the Pope's nose" in my family lect too.

Speaking of odd eatables, do you have a copy of James Wang's Outrageous Chinese? He has a section on interesting food. I'll be disappointed if you go to China and don't sample the ox penis, or have a live snake killed for your meal.

Oh, I think I might be able to manage that...

"parson's nose" round our way. Popes are too upmarket, maybe.

Patapán sounds good, though I'm such a fan of duck I'd probably try to eat the beak if I found a recipe for it.

I've eaten chicken feet and duck tongue, but I think even I would draw the line at beak.
