Turtles can not be killed humanely for food at all.
I hated the scene, and I studied veterinary medicine and work as a wildlife conservationist - turtles need to be euthanized in a complicated multi-step process according to humane veterinary practices, and this killing is in no way humane.
Also, the movie mentioned that this was a rare river turtle, and I'm totally disgusted that this movie encourages eating and killing rare wildlife.
And for the record, I studied Chinese Medicine, and lived in Japan, but there's no way I support eating wild animals.

The turtle is actually killed very quickly and not "brutally" as described above. This is a traditional Japanese food/drink called suppon. While this scene may appear shocking to Western eyes, it is not exploitative or intended to disturb the audience. In fact, we might view this as one of the final lessons that Tampop has to teach us about human relationships to our food: many of us kill and eat living things.

Lots of meat throughout the film. Most notably, a whole pig head appears and there is a closeup where it appears to look at you

Seems obvious for a movie so thoroughly about food, but there are a LOT of chewing and slurping noises as people enjoy their food. One scene, in particular, shows a woman teaching an etiquette class where she advises her students that slurping spaghetti is unacceptable in the United States. Meanwhile, the students observe an American in the dining room noisily eating his lunch, and they eventually follow his lead, to the teacher's chagrin.

There is an extended shot of a woman breastfeeding during the credits, which could be triggering for someone who would avoid miscarriage in a film.

We don't watch sexual intercourse, but we do watch foreplay between a couple who likes to incorporate food into their sex. The woman is topless and the man at different points licks salt and lemon juice and later whipped cream off of her breasts. These scenes are not the primary focus of the movie, and the scenes are more sensual than sexual.

You hear the gunshots and see a man with gunshot wounds. This is toward the end of the film. No gun appears and this is the only incident.
