One of Cebu's most talked-about street foods is Tuslob Buwa. The name literally means "dip in the bubbles." It's eaten by dipping puso (hanging rice) into a bubbling sauce made with pork liver, brain, and spices.
I know that description alone might make some people say, "No, thank you!"
But many who have tried it say it's surprisingly rich and flavorful. It's considered a must-try food experience in Cebu.
I recently learned there's now a restaurant in Davao City that serves Tuslob Buwa too, so people don't have to travel all the way to Cebu to try it. It's nice to see regional dishes becoming available in other parts of the country.
Have you ever tried Tuslob Buwa? If not, would you be brave enough to give it a taste, or is it a definite pass for you? What local dish from your area do visitors find unusual?

I would absolutely give that a try! It sounds like it would be amazing. Is it spicy? I love spicy foods.

Nope! There is rice involved in it, let alone the brains mixed in. 

Calf brain omelet is considered unusual here and no, I don't eat it, either.

I would try it because I know if other people eat it that it won't kill me.
And it is probably quite tasty
Also I eat sheep's guts and blood and other stuff so your Buwa would be quite tame
