babi guling means “suckling pig” in indonesia. if you watch the food or travel channel, they will say that there is no place in the world that cooks a pig better than indonesia. i agree. i’ve eaten pig in hawaii, samoa, and the philippines but it doesn’t come close. check out these photos….
first, go on the side and pick out your piggy. it was pretty weird because after getting kalua, i know how smart pigs are. so when i saw this family of pigs, i could tell that they knew what was coming. you could just see it in their eyes. they froze, and when the guy tried to catch one to cook, they all ran for their lives almost breaking down the gate…..
after you choose your pig, you grab it from the rear legs and drag it out….. i’m not going to show you how they kill it because you might throw up…
after you pour hot water on the pig to losen the hair so you can scrape it off with a knife, cut open the stomach and clean it. then stick a thick pole up the ass and out of the mouth…. and you have to do it with a smile… it taste better…
then take the intestines, throw it on the clean ground, and get it ready for the deep fryer. yes, we eat the intestines too….
then you stuff the pig with spices, sew it up, baste it with the blood that came from the heart, and get it ready for the fire…
then you roll it over and over on a hot fire for 3 hours. starting to look good yeah?
then you call your friends and have one of your best dinners ever…
**if you know where to go, your complete cooked pig will cost you $60 and it can feed 30 people. if you don’t know where to go, your complete pig will cost you $150 and it can feed 10 people. along with a possible stomach ache….
**i hope kalua doesn’t see this blog… sorry kalua[:??$B”y(B???:]
** the first time i experienced a pig killing was 10 years ago in bali. i almost threw up and actually had to go back to my hotel room to lie down. since then, i’ve seen it over and over. and over and over i have to go to my room and lie down. including last time in bali. just something you can never get use too. but when you eat it, you forget everything….
