Tested and True

Forget the old wives' tale of throwing pasta against the wall to see if it's cooked. Not only does this make your kitchen walls difficult to clean, but it's also not the most reliable method to test pasta's doneness. There's a better way to make sure your pasta is perfectly cooked.

Looking forward to trying this recipe. I'm curious to try something new. I might skip the pork blood though, not sure I'm ready for that yet :) I gave it a 4

I've never tried anything like this before. It looks like a hearty dish. I'm not sure if I can find pork blood easily. Maybe I'll substitute it with something else. I gave it a 3

Wow, this recipe reminds me of a Brazilian dish called 'sangue com pimenta'. It's fascinating to see how different cultures use similar ingredients in their food. I might adjust the spice level to suit my taste, but overall, it's delicious. I gave it a 4

As a Filipino, I grew up eating Dinuguan. It's great to see the steps laid out clearly for those who want to try making it. The flavor might be intense for some, but trust me, it's delicious! Don't skip the pork blood; it's what gives this dish its unique taste." I gave it a 5
