However, I'...I love this entry with cultural notes! However, I'd differ from calling it cruelty to animals. I agree with those who define 'cruelty' as that with just an intent to make the poor fowl suffer for no apparent reason either than to power trip. It would be different if it's for a specific purpose, such as that you mentioned.<BR/><BR/>Come to think of it, we also gently beat (<I>pikpik</I>) the neck of chickens before they're slit and the blood then drops on a waiting bowl. Haven't done that for at least a decade!<BR/><BR/>Galing Ting!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551772306674807897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987949.post-1121924934168094262005-07-20T22:48:00.000-07:002005-07-20T22:48:00.000-07:00Dexie, ah yuou missed a lot then.Sha, unfortunatel...Dexie, ah yuou missed a lot then.<BR/><BR/>Sha, unfortunately, cruelty nga talaga to animals the way they kill the chicken.

This is really educational; for the longest time, I didn't know the rationale for the process. I've always thought it a cruel way way to butcher fowl, and I thought them drunks were just being sadistic :-) Now I know better. I can't say I remember what this tastes like though. How was the flavor?JMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217941032371450987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987949.post-1121508823664030832005-07-16T03:13:00.000-07:002005-07-16T03:13:00.000-07:00wow, what an educational post! thanks for sharing...wow, what an educational post! thanks for sharing. have you seen marketman's recent post about this as well?Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823834328305424159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987949.post-1121501242523686422005-07-16T01:07:00.000-07:002005-07-16T01:07:00.000-07:00oh my! i remember we tried to make pinikpikan when...oh my! i remember we tried to make pinikpikan when we went to la union. it was delicious but i couldn't bear to watch the poor chicken get beaten up!adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07150833694594132253noreply@blogger.com
