geriatrickid 21,398 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 It would seem that the adherents of beliefs which avoid the consumption of pork might be on to something. I would also include those who avoid the consumption of shellfish. Link to post Share on other sites
Goanna 545 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I've eaten this. You need to eat it with enough chilli to sterilise it. Quite tasty. Maybe I wont eat it again but. Link to post Share on other sites
Thaddeus 7,544 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I've eaten this. You need to eat it with enough chilli to sterilise it. Quite tasty. Maybe I wont eat it again but. I ate a small small amount raw pork once, I stopped as soon as I realised it was raw. For three days I couldn't be more than a brief dash away from a toilet. Link to post Share on other sites
villagefarang 15,791 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Considering the number of locals who eat raw dishes like Laap and Loo, I am surprised there are not more deaths and illness. Longer term there is also the persistent problem of liver flukes from eating traditional raw foods. Just look at the level of liver cancer in Thailand. Alcohol doest help either.

canuckamuck 30,609 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 It's a main dish at most of hill tribe weddings up here. Most people know the risks, but eat it any way. It won't happen to me, right, I just eat a little. Link to post Share on other sites

Alwyn 3,480 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Raw pork in Thailand you gotta have a death wish.Raw pork anywhere has got to be iffy but more so in hot countries, that's one reason Jews and Arabs don't touch the stuff! And because they see pigs as unclean of course! Link to post Share on other sites

I would also include those who avoid the consumption of shellfish. You are quite right. Those avoiding pork are mostly doing this on religious grounds. Nothing wrong with that. Based on experience with the possible destructive qualities of pork if not fresh, clean or cooked very well. Link to post Share on other sites

soalbundy 20,213 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Nothing wrong with pork if you have a few brain cells and cook it well first. I wouldn't eat raw meat of any animal anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites
