Tuesday August 4, 2009

I WISH to express my appreciation to Jane Ragavan for her article Culinary cruelty (July 27) which featured the famous Suckling Pig, a popular delicacy in Chinese weddings.

I am not a vegetarian but I believe to a certain extent in controlling the degree of cruelty in killing animals to feed ourselves. I have chosen not to consume many of the delicacies in understanding of how the animals were killed to feed man's natural interest in food.

For the same reason, I have never picked up a single piece of the Suckling Pig served during Chinese dinners. I often get asked why I refrain from partaking in such a delicious dish. Because it is a wedding, I try not to be too serious and fend off the queries with some jokes.

The roasted suckling pig was originally served to symbolise the bride's virginity. But many cultural practices are no longer observed in this modern age. As such, why do we sacrifice the baby pigs to maintain one minor aspect of a cultural practice, when the symbol of origin may no longer exist for many premarital couples nowadays.
