Extremely Unusual Foods in Sulawesi, Indonesia

[MrLOVEStoHATeONU]

have u been to a slaughter house god dam

[JaimeSKun]

why do you say eww?? chola ignorante , what`s wrong with you, if you are going to get grost out, then dont go, stay home and eat your KFC

[MsColdCanada]

@Koodoze You ditched a friend over a food he ate one time? You aren't a very good friend. He's lucky to be rid of you I guess.

[Torchy84]

my view is shut the **** up about thier traditions

[batSkull22]

Not a pleasant view, is it? Atleast they aren't killed by a machine, like the fastfood are doing. They slaughter it the same, harsh way.

[CaptiveBredCreations]

il stick to pork, chicken and beef.

[Muppephile]

I eat meat all the time, but it is truly heartbreaking to hear the cries of an animal being killed.

[utube793]

You're either a carnivoire or your not..

[bough1995]

Im cool with slaughter pigs and stuff but they made it look so painful for the pigs

[travelswithsheila]

@bough1995 It wasn't until I heard them killing the pigs with such gusto that "squealing like a stuck pig" had meaning. They really do squeal! Thanks for watching and commenting. Best regards, Travels With Sheila

[Nadinehamstertime]

[chicken4247]

@Nadinehamstertime ofc u are retard

[shisoyrown]

The things i won't ever eat are humans, cats, dogs and embryos of any species. Except from that as long as it's well cooked... i sugest you to try the capibara it's very tasty

[travelswithsheila]

@shisoyrown I'm sure you are right, however, even so called "ordinary" foods can turn me off if the "look" or "texture" doesn't appeal to me and I'm rather timid when it comes to food. You mentioned embryos and we just returned from the Philippines where cooked duck eggs with embryos were being sold along the road. The locals were slurping them up! Thanks for watching and commenting. Best regards, Travels With Sheila

[XXplaythegamesXX]

this people are eating BATS ?????

[travelswithsheila]

@XXplaythegamesXX They most certainly are. Probably tasty but I just couldn't bring myself to try it. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.Best regards, Travels With Sheila

[c102909j]

[travelswithsheila]

@Incredibility565 I have no problem with anything that anybody eats. This video is just to inform people what all cultures eat. Sincerely, TWS

[c102909j]

[Incredibility565]

@c102909j u gotta big problem u son of a bitch

[atrieisan]

Food is Food

[TheUrbanPreacher]

Hey,don't be hate on indigenous foods.It is from these foods that we are able to enjoy our culinary delights. The connection of meat and nature has been severed by modern approaches to cooking.That's why the grill still rocks.

[hiperanimallover]

who gave them the right to kill bats!?!

[LUNARANDLILY]

I don't think they eat cat.... O_o

[irish1125]

actually,it's just the natural way of slaughtering animals. Not weird at all..

[TonaasOzeph]

I'm a Minahasan myself and not really into this kind of extreme food.Yes. it's considered extreme for many of us.

btw..as strange as it might sound, the reason this kind of market exists is because we're actually really careful about what we eat. We don't want to eat poisoned dogs or "city rats" (the "skewered rats" has distinctive shape and color and they live in the jungle). Furthermore, Minahasan food is mainly about the spices. Sometime I think the meat is actually supplement fo the spices.

[zaswiss]

mmm well I like manadonese food.. not all bat n dog that hardly ever gets served anyway.. I been reassured that I have never eaten dog... Dog meat is darker in colour. how animals are treated there,, I have been to the bitung zoo (animal shelter).... not a very nice place.... And about the dogs again, they just roam the streets just like the chickens especially in the villages. Any way.. tidak apa apa selamt makan orang di watatumouw dan orang di kombi! Saya cinta Indonesia!

[97432561]

the earthquake is god's way of saying : indonesia screw u and yr god wannabe.

[JEFFFALL]

if shiela is the woman in the video, she seems terribly uneducated in anything culinary, and quite ignorant altogether.

[travelswithsheila]

@JEFFFALL Yes, I am the woman in the video and you are welcome to call me ignorant and I freely admit that I am uneducated in Sulawesi style food. However, loved Sulawesi. Regards, Travels With Sheila

[Alwaystuned]

@travelswithsheila By this reasponse Shelia, you have a new fan Love ya...

[popinjay3000]

@JEFFFALL well said, I think us style battery farms where caged, steroid and growth hormone pumped cows, chicken and pigs who cannot turn full circle, being electrocuted by the tens of thousand in 24hr automated killing factories is probably more to her taste...as long as its all hidden eh? those Indonesians should have trashed her camera...

[maalaun]

Indon kelaparan

[88pie88]

bats look like dogs?

[hsuanstr]

awesome video, good camera work. i always love learning about another culture. 

[downloeader]

how do you know that its bat not humen nigger kids o.o

[KurandoJutendouji]

Eating a dog/cat is just plain disgusting and gross. Well, as you said, it's their culture. They can eat whatever they want. :D

[kanserstyx]

DONT EAT CATS!!! >.>

[urbex2007]

I respect anyones right to eat and enjoy whatever food they like. I wouldn't go for that being vegetarian, but it is very interesting to see what people eat around the world. Things we look at as unusual o strange are probably quite delicious, it's just the thought of it putting others off. I don't eat meat as I don't like the taste.

[RayRox17]

I fucking hate dog eaters, I don't care what people say, it's just wrong in my opinion.

[hehatu]

hmm next time just don't say euw about another culture..

[mybossisthebest]

people u shouldnt eat dogs! is man's best friend not man's best dish!!!!!!!!! my heart is broken when i saw a dog like that :(

[mridhoss]

this is the part of their ritual of burial ceremony.... i agree when the statement said: it may shock for anyone who hasnt seen this ever before

[jeedo31]

Such a weird fucking culture...Seriously who eats a fucking dog ???

[alvian2aisyah]

@travelwithsheila.....please do not provoke others 2 see this side of indonesia only. culture like this only happen in eastern indonesia, like papua, sulawesi/celebes, not in the whole entire of indonesia. even indonesia is the biggest moslem country in the world, but mostly people in there are not moslem. we moslem not eat that. but thats what make me proud to be indonesian, coz we unity in diversity..

[travelswithsheila]

@alvian2aisyah You should be proud to be Indonesian. Had a great time there and did try to point out that this was an isolated area and I don't think you ever heard me put down people for eating these foods. If people want to eat dog, no problem. However, videos would be very boring if I didn't show some of the food diversity in the world. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Best regards, Sheila

[alvian2aisyah]

@travelswithsheila ....yes i'm proud to be indonesian. i know u dont intend to discredit n put down indonesian people n i also not hear u saying bad thing bout indonesia, but since this video, so many convey a negative opinion. n i dont like 2 read that negative opinion. but i will thank u if u not only put this video, there's a lot of indonesia food to tell. but i thank u anyway to discuss indonesia food in this video. best regard from indonesia..., alvian

[Anthony1x11]

@travelswithsheila first of all Im Torajan who live in Canada. Many torajans go or study abroad. Toraja is not isolated area, you are completely wrong. You will see brand new european, japanese or even american car in there. You will see some franchise western food too. If we do our tradition doesnt mean we are "Isolated". And Yes we proud with our culture and will keep it. Toraja is another tourist destination after Bali in indonesia. Many foreigners visit us to see our culture

[travelswithsheila]

@Anthony1x11 So sorry that you misconstrued what isolation means to me. I know your traditions and modern way of living are completely separated. Please keep in mind that these are amateur videos just meant to inform people as I move on the run without the luxury of reading through or having a script of what to say or verbal usage. ex-Marine (husband, Steve) and I enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for taking your time to watch and give your thoughts. Best regards, Travels With Sheila

[zaswiss]

@alvian2aisyah Unity in diversity - dj romy

[osvaldo2k5]

my american food comes in a happy meal not like these savages!

[nandinito]

@osvaldo2k5 many fellow americans just kill animals for fun(hunting) they don't eat them, are they savages??

[travelswithsheila]

@nandinito I certainly never said they were. From my standpoint, people can eat whatever they want. However, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Best regards, Travels With Sheila

[nandinito]

@travelswithsheila I just asked a question, it is ok for me if you kill to eat, some people commented that they are savages, but many people in US kill for fun and they call it "sport" so Are they savages??????????????????

[freeciaindia]

@nandinito - do u think- if someone is wrong- -- gives you an added edge to become double wrong-- there are proper and huumane ways of slaughtering- just like you operate yourself and doctor clinic-- why dont we practice those rules for the helpless animals while slaugtering them-- why dont we teach people to adopt those methods-- and belive me- it does not take any taste away and is not expensive as well.

[smallblocksupercharg]

i work at a spca shelter and the shelter kills loads of dogs a day and just burn it and toss it away maybe eating it isnt so bad lol

[stlobelio99]

Greetings from Indonesia! :)

[nothingnothing2]

muslims don't eat pork for the ignorant people who don't know

[amy104]

These indonesian are not muslim and not all indonesian are muslim

[nazbites]

I thought Indonesians were mostly Muslim .. I mean we're not allowed to eat dogs, bats or pigs ... o.O

[Sarj22]

wow... i just don't understand why they can't kill them humanely and atleast in a quick manner..instead of tortoring them and killing them slowly..

[kapichami]

you and your mother fucking culture , fuck you baldy bitch

[alkafx]

seeing those pigs getting slaughtered is making me ravenous

[sapiberbulu]

they are manadoian people

[siscantik]

I'm Indonesian, but I never ever like to see ppl eating dogs! :'( 2:10

[travelswithsheila]

It's just a "pet" thing for Americans. We are so used to seeing dogs as family members rather than a cow or buffalo, it's hard to see.

[in2theabyss17]

Well, the Indonesians might think we have strange eating habits. We really cannot bash them for what they eat.

[SylvanaForrester]

I'm serving most of these buffet-style at my wedding.

[travelswithsheila]

I wish I could attend! Good luck to you and your future husband. Thanks for watching.

[highcom77]

maybe its not all about their culture..maybe its also about poverty!!

[travelswithsheila]

No, I don't think so. Fertile land for growing food, no need for heating a house (warm all year round). It was definitely the culture there.

[Domestikos]

Even the rich people in Minahasa eat these same delicacies.

[skyrye66]

well to us Americans we find this a bit overwhelming, but the one thing I must say about other cultures...they do not waste any part of their meat products. The animal is NOT killed in vain. I could never see myself eating cat or dog by choice, that's just my opinion. But I cannot condemn other cultures of what they eat, although it's sad to see.

[travelswithsheila]

I agree that they don't waste a thing and was happy to note that villages all shared in the slaughter.

[bored574]

I appreciate your comment. But things like dogs and cats are part of the food chain. Only certain humans (in the west mainly) have attributed to them a bigger status to other animals. But the truth remains these are still part of the food chain.

In this respect its not sad at all.

[Torchy84]

@skyrye66 Just what I would put you saved me the bother so I pressed like

[bughaters]

how disrespectful for that girl to be saying eww to these people's food, this is how they survive

[travelswithsheila]

Of course this is how they survive and I love pork! It just smelled pretty bad in the intense head, and I'm not thrilled watching the actual butchering. Sorry, I like my food already wrapped in Saran Wrap.

[KhmerSerey1]

Anything is better then fellow human being i supposed,Jeffrey Dahlmer prefered human meat..

[forallmoods]

Bat has sort of a fish taste, Dog is like eating pork fat, snake is well...like chicken, but i heard about Sulawesi people eating cats, i wanna try that!.

[travelswithsheila]

I'll trust what you say. I'm sure people think food I eat looks disgusting. Each to one's own and it's fun looking at it all.

[heavyxpress3000]

deep fried bat and rice with side of dog tail that sounds healthy enough

[travelswithsheila]

It probably is very healthy!

[trance2progressive]

Oh well guess every country has there tastes no matter hot strange it is =P

[hekatelacroix]

you need to be more objective in your observation of other cultures, no matter how shocking

[travelswithsheila]

thanks for your comment. actually, I wasnt shocked but was afraid of how other people would react. appreciate your thoughts.
