Food challenge - One Day Old Challenge

In pre-residency this is like the reality tv programs, where in you're battling to get to be the next "____ resident". It's like american idol, are you the next "urology resident", or next "surgery resident" or the next "IM Resident". You'll be really tested during this period, your emotional, physical, psychological, spiritual capabilities will be tested.

I remember when I was a urology pre-resident, one of the challenges was the "food challenge" wherein we will eat whatever the seniors ask us to eat. One of those was the "One Day Old" challenge.
They were all awaiting for me to eat them since they look icky and from the looks of it, they thought I don't eat street food. 

To tell you the truth, I have eaten this before, in hongkong, also one of their street foods. I kind of love the taste of this except for the gizzard, so I always remove it prior to eating the whole thing.

Why I'm blogging about this? Recently at the corner of my dormitory was a stand selling fishballs, squidballs, kikiam etc etc and fried chicks are just a few of their offered products and this just brought some memories of pre-residency and my "uro-boys" seniors. I kind of miss my recently graduated seniors on how they guided me during pre-residency and how they taught menof troubleshooting some minor uro problems. I wouldn't be accepted in urology program without my seniors who voted for me during deliberation. I'm humbly thanking you and hoping I won't disappoint you.
