Why is Philippine cuisine so.... umm... primitive?

[niky]

Ilocano Papaitan has literal sh1t? Seriously??? Isn't that an infection/sickness waiting to happen?

So what is that dish with bile? Yung green?

BTW I saw a documentary on a tribe somewhere in the north where they beat the chicken to death because it is supposed to make the meat taste better. I don't think I can eat that knowing how much the animal suffered

If it's cooked, it's cooked. (Usually) No worse than eating isaw.

Talk about suffering, have you ever watched them butcher chicken? Take a live chicken, cut off its head and let it flap around while the blood drains out.

Eating any kind of vertebrate animal protein involves the gruesome death of a living, feeling animal. If it bothers you, better stick to fish. (Squid on the other hand, are a whole lot more intelligent than chickens... )

If I were to go "ethical" vegetarian, I would cut pork and beef completely out of my diet. Pigs are worryingly intelligent. I would still eat fish, though.

^ Just to add, there's a theory that pasta had it roots in China.

I've heard the theory, but apparently there is evidence of pasta or pasta-like products being eaten by the Greeks before Chinese influence reached Europe.
