It's like going to Chuck E Cheese...except there's a gallon of blood involved.

I remember pig slaughter at Alentejo - what they showed in the video is just a part of the process. As a little girl, I would run back home and cover my head with pillows just to not listen to the cries of the pig, which are fucking high, you could hear it anywhere in the village. Now pig slaughter is forbidden due to health issues and people have to take the pig to the nearest slaughter house.

@akichan42 Pig slaughter isn't forbidden since the meat be only for domestic consumption.

[gimba]

@MyJawLine oO you must be one of thhose who think chicken already come in plastic, and dont have feathers and shit lol,

[bassmule]

The pig does not die quietly, or quickly. I understand: delicate American sensibilities must be considered. We attack people with Predator drones, and our newspapers tell us only the right ones die, and we are content to believe what they say. But show the actual slaughter of a pig, no, we can't subject people to that.

[luissimao83]

how do you eat meat without killing the animal?how do you eat fish without killing the fish? i dont understand the controversial of the pig slaughter.

[ordostrom]

@MyJawLine Yup, it´s Portugues for the Spanish "carajo"... pretty much "Oh shit"

[CmcHellraiser]

É incrível, a dita "matança do porco" será assim tão escandalosa?! Cresci à volta dela, já participei em muitas, alias todos os anos se repete em casa dos meus pais, na qual participo com todo o gosto! E para todos os que já participaram e conhecem do que falo, sabem que existe muito mais respeito pelo animal do que o que existe num matadouro, onde o animal é morto com choque eléctrico, e a pele é-lhe retirada em agua a ferver!

[CmcHellraiser]

@CmcHellraiser Claro que o que os olhos não vêem o coração não sente, é muito fácil olhar para meia dúzia de fêveras no talho, tal como diz o Tony, é apenas um ingrediente! Mas é bom saber de onde a comida vem para dar-mos valor à mesma e ao trabalho que dela advém. Quando tiver filhos, eles vão saber isso, pois me encarregarei de lhes mostrar esta tradição! E é preciso ter orgulho de ser Português, pois temos uma das melhores cozinhas do mundo! E a nível de carnes e peixe é mesmo a melhor!

kill the pig !!

[Mewzickchannel]

its beautiful to see how people appreciate northern Portuguese culture, im so happy to see all these comments :)



[VASIO0]

Wonderful, some funny jokes here too haha.

[CarlosChannel]

Some perls in Tony Bourdain comments:

About salting the pig:

"It's like exfoliation and massage at the same time." Hahaha!

About the accordion singer:

"This is like a rap competition." Hahaha!

[CarlosChannel]

Mesmo que não se vissem as imagens do Porto, sabiamos que estava a ser filmado no Porto. Uma velhota diz a determinada altura:

Oh caralho! Estão a filmar-me a comer! Hahaha!

[Nekkoart]

God, now I miss living in a farm again. Tough work but so rewarding!

[landis69]

I have never eaten a suckling pig, I'm a chef to. I really wish I could have the opportunity to try a suckling pig, it's just hard to get that here in Bermuda.

[Tamaslammer]

Portugal was fucking amazing for me.

As an apathetic Yank, it was mind blowing how beautiful the buildings,countryside,women and food were. Super polite but no nonsense people.

The history is overwhelming.

I cannot wait to go back.

[twistll99]

@Tamaslammer Cheers, from Porto! :-))

[slbdevil]

@Tamaslammer

We need more people like you. :)

Fact is, you seem to love Portugal more than the average Portuguese, many people here are very negative about things, especially now considering the economical crisis we're all going through (and the corrupt as hell government...) Given the circumstances I don't blame them at all.

Oh well, we'll get through it hopefully. :/

[SgtZima]

Hehe, Josee's hair and moustache are hilarious!

[SethHesio]

He has something of the 70's sex industry about him doesn't he?

[Tamaslammer]

@SethHesio Like a modern John Holmes but without the cop mustache,polyester bathrobe and an 8 track tape of Ambrosia's greatest hits.

[joeytopy]

No more that 50years ago, not everyone could afford to have meat in their dining dishes, we a the lucky ones. Take my parents as an example, a hen is already a big dish for special events only, even it's been laying eggs for years and as tough as sanding paper.

[SethHesio]

I don't think I could bring myself to eat a Hen that's been supplying me with eggs for years. It would feel like betrayal.

[Ziegut]

Am I the only one who found the singing in front of the dead pig and the bladder soccer ball disturbing?? Sheesh

[deeptracy23]

Yes, you're the only one. Many cultures around the world celebrate the start of the harvest season and the slaughter of animals they've captured with singing and dancing to thank and honor the gods or nature spirits. I am disturbed more by American hunters who kill wildlife for sport, and pose for pictures with the murdered animals.

[SethHesio]

I'm more disturbed by the industrialization of meat production where an animal, such as a chicken or pig willlive it's entire miserable life in unnatural conditions before being unceremoniously slaughtered in a faceless factory. I think if you decide to eat meat, being a part of, or at least aware of the death of the animal and being comfortable with it is essential.

[Tamaslammer]

@deeptracy23

clap clap clap...

[wanmohdzahidi]

@Ziegut all you ever do is just eat meat and never know where or how it came to be. these guys are honoring the creature that are giving them sustenance which is a lot more than you can ever say for yourself.
