This is goat intestine stewed, literally, with its own juice--the
extract of the masticated grass inside the intestines. It's a savory,
bitter soup favored by Ilokanos. And
goat's is prized for this kind of exotic dish, called "pinapaitan",
aside from that of beef or carabao (water buffalo). It's not really an exotic
one as this is so common in the Philippines especially in the Ilocos region, or where the Ilokano people have settled for good.
Cooking this kind of exotic dish (well, a delicacy of some sort) is simple as doing the usual pinapaitan. Just boil it. Until tender enough. Spice it with lots of onions, garlic, ginger, black pepper. Add some meat and liver pieces. Optionally, you can add a little sourness like that of pias or salamagi.
Now here's the boiled and tenderized whole intestine being cut into bite pieces:
Gorgeous!
