Wazzup Pilipinas!
Netflix posted this picture on social media and challenged us to "Guess that ulam" honestly, this has been an enigma for me as well.
People from Visayas usually call that sinarsahan or ginagmay, regardless which is which since they're almost the same.
All I know is.....
Afritada - Chicken
Menudo - Pork
Kaldereta - Goat, or Beef
Mechado - Beef
You may also include....
Pochero - Pork with Garbanzos & Banana (Saba)
All their base are the same (tomato sauce/paste + potatos and carrots). Extra items can be liver, liver spread, green peas and chilis.
Kaya pala nalilito ang Pinoy kasi nilalagyan ng soy sauce kahit hindi mechado, ng liver spread kahit hindi menudo or kaldereta, ng bell pepper kahit afritada, tapos walang naglalagay ng green olives dahil mahal, at ayaw ng marami sa raisins.
Obviously this isn't Menudo because of the cut of the meat, potatoes and carrots. Definitely not Afritada too because that's chicken. Only options left are Mechado and Kaldereta. I believe this is Mechado because of the bay leaf. Caldereta doesn't have that.
Though pork can also be used as a meat for afritada. As mechado isn't only for beef.
Mechado kasi yung hiwa pure meat at malaki. Pang Menudo maliit lang hiwa. Pag Kaldereta me buto, tapos kapag Afritada usually chicken or pork yun. Actually mahirap malaman hindi kasi pwede tikman. Nakalimutan ninyo pa sa choice pickles / wok tai.
Here's another explanation;
Afritada is a Spanish based Filipino dish consisting of chicken, beef, or pork braised in tomato sauce with carrots, potatoes, and red and green bell peppers.
Menudo, also known as ginamay, is a traditional stew from the Philippines made with pork and sliced liver in tomato sauce with carrots and potatoes.
Kaldereta or caldereta is a goat meat stew from the Philippines. Variations of the dish use beef, chicken, or pork. Commonly, the goat meat is stewed with vegetables and liver paste. Vegetables may include tomatoes, potatoes, olives, bell peppers, and hot peppers.
Mechado is a braised beef dish originating from the Philippines inspired by culinary methods of Spain, which it was a former colony of. Soy sauce and calamansi fruits are key ingredients to the braising liquid.
Pero ang buttomline pareparehas silang may tomato sauce hahaha!
KalFriMenuChado?
Menudo? Afritada? Mechado? Kaldereta? Ano bang pinagkaiba?

ReplyDeleteFor me, Kaldereta is the best. I like a lot of meat and sauce. I used to read Wayne Cooper Cameo but his recipes are not the best. He is originally from Manila.
