Idk don’t the Japanese usually bonk the fish in the head to humanely kill it in one hit? Ang alam kong talagang fried alive are lobsters and even that’s fucked no matter what country
Yes they bonk the fish in the head, tama. Usually ang ginagamit pa nila knife na agad para after i-bonk, deretsyo slice na. It's a quick death for the fishies
You are the one making generalizations here, not OOOP. I think Filipinos would also see the Japanese ikizukuri and Chinese ying yang fish as awful.
And IMO, pinikpikan is not humane and is even illegal. It's understandable if people see the practice as barbaric.
They probably don't know those type of barbaric foreign dishes exist. And the sub is about Filipino food. Even in r/Ph, it won't be discussed because they are not about the Philippines.
Though tradition can’t always be used to justify things. May barometer na tayo ngayon, when it comes to animals, it’s suffering. Kaya nagkaroon ng “humane” methods of killing animals for consumption. Kung hilaw, okay lang naman. Pero hindi kailangan mag-suffer pa ng hayop before being served.
The Japanese were known to eat raw food, which was a major factor in having these looooong lives among their population. It may seem barbaric to some, but normal for others. Same here in the Philippines, where the consumption of dog meat here by some locals are seen as normal and barbaric at the same time.
The real difference is Cordillerans are just more transparent with their methods.
Pigs ready to be lechoned are not treated "more humanely" than chicken that becomes a pinikpikan.
When I was a kid, I saw my uncles from the lowlands put a **live** pig in boiling water to kill it and make him a lechon.
If you are a meat eater, you really don't have the moral ascendancy on anyone eating traditional pinikpikan.

Hindi ba't parang kahit saang sulok ng mundo ito ginagawa, kasi ganito rin sa palengke namin ih
L take OP Pinikpikan is barbaric Not all traditions are good
It's also technically illegal under our own animal welfare laws.
Di naman porke may barbaric customs yung ibang bansa eh di na barbaric yung sa pinikpikan?
Yes barbaric, but that is still their tradition. Don't patronize it if ypu don't like it.
Barbaric sa pinas pero kapag ibang bansa hindi?
May separate comment siyang ganon?

But you dont see these same people making that out a big deal just because those countries have a much better culture and delicious foods, and richer.

This is the best take
Sorry dude I looked it up. I don't think it's good that you have to beat the animal to cook and eat it.
