FIL: Isang uri ng malaki at matabang uod na karaniwang matatagpuan sa mga nabubulok na puno ng niyog o sago, at kinakain bilang pagkain sa ilang lalawigan.
EN: sago worm; grub
This is the OG "exotic food" before samgyupsal became a thing. It's that fat, juicy worm you see people eating on travel shows, usually grilled or cooked adobo-style. Think of it as the land version of an oyster—some find it a delicacy (especially with vinegar!), others find it disgusting. It's the star of many "Fear Factor: Pinoy Edition" challenges.
'Ugod-ugod' can mean shaky or wobbly, but the noun 'ugod' specifically refers to the grub. It is edible and considered a delicacy in some provinces like Palawan and Quezon.
