If Americans have a roasted turkey to party every Thanksgiving day, Filipinos have a roasted pig or called letchon for their barrios fiestas and celebrations.
I used to think that this style of pig roasting originally came from the central Philippines, but at the time I arrived in the South of Thailand, I found that Thais also have a letchon or known as Mo Yang in the Thai language.
As we were walking around Lee Garden Plaza, Hatyai City, South of Thailand, what we smelled and caught our attention were these roasted piglets pierced with metal sticks. They looked very delicious. The price for each is 1,600 Bath or 50 US dollars.
After taking some pictures, asked for the price, and as we continued our journey, I was reflecting on how the diversity of our culture expressed mankind's creativity, the way food is prepared and served always fascinate me.
Like what you see from these pictures below, you might not able to imagine that piglets are butchered, and after being roasted, which for someone can be so fined and savoring but for others can be so disgusting.

Thus, reminded our uniqueness and a need to continue showing respect to others whose cultural upbringings are very different from ours.
Reflecting that the kingdom of our Father is not all about eating and drinking, but it is on righteousness, peace, and filling of the Holy Spirit (see Romans 14:17), which I asked myself on to what extent we can still apply this passage in our daily lifestyle.
