    I don't eat Bopis anymore since the day I went with my husband and friend to buy and slaughter a pig in Hawaii. I saw what's inside the pig's intestine. OMG, I will not elaborate. I still will for as long as "no intestine" ingredients. Same thing with Dinuguan. If I prepare it myself or my relatives, I'll eat it but no pigs intestines. Sorry guys..lose your appetite?
