FIL: Isang bahagi ng panloob na organo ng mga ibon, lalo na ng manok, na matigas at makunat na ginagamit sa pagdurog ng pagkain.
EN: gizzard
The gizzard. That chewy, sometimes rubbery, but oh-so-good part of the chicken you find in your adobo, or grilled on a stick as an isaw-adjacent street food. It's the chicken's personal food processor. For the uninitiated, it might look sus, but for Pinoys, it's a delicacy.
Likely a reduplication of an older root word related to internal organs.
A common ingredient in Filipino cuisine, especially in dishes like "adobong balumbalunan" or as "pulutan" (bar chow). Often sold alongside chicken liver (atay).
