lol… turns out many from our generation don’t like sorpotel. i’m in that club too. my cousins eat only “clean sorpotel” a.k.a. sorpotel with only the meat and fat (no skin or organs). thankfully at my grandmom’s place they were a lil more humane to the pigs, my uncle would shoot them in the head with his gun. they’d die pretty quickly that way.

Oh yes, I totally forgot bout the stubble.. I don’t eat sorpotel you see :P

Yes the sack technique is used for smaller dukors, traumatic it is indeed. I know how you feel. Its the pain we Goans have to go through to fit in. The peer pressure is immense.

Long live the dukors of Goa! May their souls rest in piss.

This is hilarious!!! I love the imagery…didn’t know u were a good writer too! I hate sorpotel too…because most often it will have little bits of pig hair floating in it. U forgot to mention spiky pig hair (like stubble on men’s faces).

When I was little, on holiday in Goa, I saw exactly what you described above…except in Morjim the pig killer ran behind piglets with a sack. They catch them in it and dunk them in hot water. It’s quite traumatic. I can’t believe I was allowed to watch it all.

Anyway, my sister stopped eating pork for good after what we witnessed that day. I was braver and since then would the pot with the ladle and only take the curry (never the meat with the stubble). What I DID NOT until now was that sorpotel is cooked with pig’s blood!!!!! AHHH!!! That’s disgusting! I can’t believe we served it at our wedding!! I am MORTIFIED!
