These shells are called 'banisil', commonly known as su-su. When I was a kid, my father made many explanations to make this sound delectable. He called it sup-sup (sucking sound), because you suck the meat out of the shell. I was never fooled. Best cooked with gata (coconut milk). Although I'll probably never know for sure.

we used to eat this with picking them out using safety pin if our sup- sup is not enough for it (meat) to go out.
Some of my office mates go ga-ga over these. I tried them waaay before, but now I just can't!
I remember seeing this food served up when I was five, I think. I always thought it weird. But I was super picky then. I grew up and my eating habits changed all of a sudden. Now I have to try anything at least once. (Or try to, anyway)
Actually it's delish! Gata and supsop . Yummy!
