Murder Most Fowl… I find our normal way of snuffing a chicken with a knife and catching the blood on a plate with uncooked rice barbarous enough though as a young person I found the boiled blood with patis truly delicious , almost like fresh morcillas. Doing proper pinikpikan seems as heartless as the way they reputedly put out the eyes of ortolans as part of their fattening procedure which was no wonder its preparation was outlawed in France (1999) although it did not stop the sick FranÃ§ois Mitterrand from requesting it as one of the entrees for his final dinner (1998). Of course the force-feeding of geese is cruel and heathenish too but seems a small price to pay (because itâ€™s the gueese that pay it) in exchange for our voluptuous pleasure of washing it down with the requisite Sauterne.

Hot soup is comforting during rainy days and cold weather – it energizes and warms up the body.

i also love pinikpikan but cringe at the thought that i am party to a poor chicken’s torturous ordeal. strangely, i don’t think i know of a place here in manila that serves this dish. i think i always had this dish either in baguio or sagada. but thanks for this ingenious substitute =)

Perfect timing, can’t think of anything to cook for dinner. Running off to the supermarket now to get the ingredients. I’m looking at the sky and praying it rains as hard as last nights downpour (in davao). Many thanks MM
