Re: Filipino Dish - what is it call?

She's right. My grandmother made a Polish soup that sounds like the word
"Chaunina" but I don't know the real spelling. It smelled pretty awful and
I never ate it but my mom loves it. It uses duck blood.

pssst...from the wikipedia article i linked to:

Polish cuisine has a version czernina, which is enjoyed by many adherents in certain regions.

this page has a recipe.

Re: Filipino Dish - what is it call?

Is this possibly the same dish that I've heard jokingly called "chocolate meat"?

yes, it is. chocolate only in the sense of color and appearance of texture, since it does look a lot like mole dishes. tastes nothing like chocolate, however.

for anyone who's interested, you can also make this dish using white squash (tabungao) or shishito peppers. a lot of versions i've had were totally veggie-less except for onions and garlic. some people like it soupier; others like it pretty dry <---this pic's version uses karabasa (kabocha pumpkin)....hmm. anyway, i don't care if the dinardaraan is soupy or dry as long as the liver's not overcooked. nothing like gritty liver to ruin a perfectly good dinardaraan.

as far as i understand it and based on my experiences travelling to the PI, this isn't a typical dish to be found on filipino country home dinner tables. they only make this during party time, bcs most filipinos don't usually have enough money to eat an all-meat dish often. it's a splurge dish served at big parties. (someone chime in if this is not their experience. mike lowery?)

another side note: it's soooo good over rice, if you add a few splashes of filipino chili vinegar on top. if you don't have sukang sili, then any of the pickled peppers here will have to do.

and omg, i'm totally drooling as i write this! a curse on my funny tummy today that can't even stomach an apple banana without unhappy results. *cries*

anyway, the use of animal blood in food is ubiquitous--even among western ethnicities, contrary to what you may believe.

Re: Filipino Dish - what is it call?

I've eaten stuff in the Brit Royal Navy that would make a billy goat puke but I would not eat the above.

I was not sure what it was it first. My friend was a bit surprise. After I found out, I had to follow through so I would not look bad.

It's not too bad when it's warm. It has to be warm. Once it cools down a bit.......You can begin to taste the XXXXXXXXX, like XXXXXX (a feeling hard to describe).

I could only finish half of the bowl.

No? I beg to differ. There is significant nutritional value in this dish, especially for diets deficient in iron, protein or fat.

Re: Filipino Dish - what is it call?

Does the dish have any "benefits" or nutritional value? The friend I had it with eats it often.

Just wondering?

Re: Filipino Dish - what is it call?

Dinuguan in Tagalog. Dinardaraan in Ilokano.

It's browned pork (usually belly) stewed in pork blood. Usually there's vinegar (keeps the blood from clotting) and salt. Visayans add an herb (usually I think basil or mint) and use intestines instead of meat.

[cabanalane]

It's like soup. But it's really like pig's blood.

It's not exotic or anything. I had it at Poi Bowl - 15+ years ago.

What is it call?

What is really in it?
