Anyone in the family starts craving food when they hear about what someone else has recently eaten. The next day, after a productive day, we wanted to get some cheesesteak sandwiches and were referred to someone to check out Charley's Cheesesteak which was in the same shopping complex we're currently located. Upon entering, you can check out the menu and decide what size sandwich you want or opt for a meal that includes a beverage and your choice of French fries. There are plenty of options if you prefer something other than a sandwich, so you can satisfy whatever cravings you have. I was impressed by the variety of cheesesteaks available—something not many restaurants offer to this extent.

One day my mom and I went to the grocery store in California where I grew up, she had shopped at Magat an Asian Grocery Store in Union City and my mom decided to buy the ingredients of the dinuguan.
My mom began cooking the dinuguan in the kitchen as I was watching her cook the dish, I saw my mom pour something that look like blood. I questioned my mom what was that she was pouring, and she said it was pork blood.
Ever since I saw the pork blood, she had poured into the dish I had told my mom you are a vampire and ever since that moment I never went back to eat it until I grew older.
During the time I had celebrated my birthday, and I had friends come over at my house my mom would cook dinuguan as one of the main dishes and during that time we had called it chocolate meat. My friend loves my mom's cooking and ask me what it was made of, and I lied it was made of chocolate.
Later my friend asked again for the recipe and wanted their mom to also make it for them that is when I had to inform my friends it was made of pork blood.
Dinuguan is often eaten with puto (steam rice cake) or rice.
