basically, menudo, afritada & mechado are the same except for their meat contents. Menudo has chopped pork meat and some innards, Afritada has chicken, Mechado has beef. Caldereda has the basic sauce like the three but it's more spicy, and it can contain any kind of meat.

they all taste the same LOL but menudo is pork, kaldereta is goat, afritada is chicken and mechado is pork... dammit I don't know anymore! XD

Taste the same to me y because they all have tomatie sauce the only difference is the vegetable they throw in it.

@@mandiferrer and calderata has some peanut on it right???

@@rafderobles3205 What you are referring to is kare-kare, since it has peanut sauce, unlike kaldereta which does not.

yazz even here in Philippines party any events lumpia is the first one to be gone

I stole lumpia in every birthday parties HAHAHA

In some places it's called the Filipino Crack. Imagine walking in a dark alley, and a Filipino guy in a trench coat will walk up to you. "Psst kid, wanna buy some Lumpia?"

@@nicogervacio3760 I relate to this HAHAHA

You guys should check out breakthrough cooking I like how he makes his whole channel about Filipino cooking as a American

Hola...kumusta amigo...

Daddy Spain has been quite around.

Spain, then both are sold to the US (with Cuba and Guam).

That’s only half true. I think we all give the Spanish way too much credit. Even cuisines/culture that we all think of as Spanish came from the Moors. Puerto Ricans are mixed people and it’s your West African ancestors who are responsible for a lot of the culture. West Africans were linked with the Maritime Spice Trade via the Arab World the exact way the Moors were. Practices that link you to the rest of the world are from your W. African ancestors. Dishes that utilize roots and beans like black eyed peas are specifically W. African in origin. Even eating rice is W. African from Arabs. Otherwise Asian influences in the Caribbean are directly Indian/Chinese similar to the Philippines. We need to all stop giving Europeans all the credit...

We are the products of Spanish-American war along with Cuba.

Have you ever picked up any Spanish or the Philippine language?

My 3 daughters are FiliRicans!!!

@@RandomSkyeRoses Yes mostly Spanish and I understand a little Tagalog!

@@missmidnight6377 who taught you Spanish?

Damn.. You got colonized by spain 2x

wow awesome ♥

As a Puerto Rican that loves Filipino food, I love the video. I'm making a lot of lumpias for a birthday party.

Lumpias were a hit like always😎.

Awww thank you much

@@esmeraldakitty I agree, I stole lumpia in every birthday parties and my mom is mad at me HAHAHA

@@Noob-pm9jb 😆❤️

like they said, it's them colonizers

We had the same fate during 1898 both ceded from Spain to the US. We're colonies before of the US. But we are now independent (PH) and PR as a US Territory

I'm not sure if Lumpia seasoning has anything to do with the Spaniards? it's literally just ground pork with minced garlic, onions, carrots, turnips, celery or cilantro, powdered black pepper, salt, soy sauce, wrapped in rice paper and fried. I honestly don't see any "Spanish influence" on Lumpia at all.

@@dayangmarikit6860 yeah but you guys call use our words for alot of your dishes Guisado Adobo Leches Guisantes Lechon Just to name a few

@@noracarvalho8323 Rodriguez familia in comerio didn't report any outage that I know of Stay safe friend

Yup. I'm Viet American born and raised in Orange County, California about 45 minutes from BuzzFeed's LA location, and EVERY Vietnamese grocery store will carry coco Rico for thit kho. I've actually never really heard of anyone drinking it as I've always associated it with being poured into the dish.

@@aznmochibunny i can search it but ima still ask what is thit kho? Like a soup?

Yeah actually I was wondering about that. I live by the bay, I’m puerto rican, and when I saw coco rico in an asian market I was so excited and confused lol

@@Username-le4eq thit is general term for meat, kho means a stew, but it's not exactly a soup or a stew. It's more of a caramelized meat dish with boiled eggs added, however you can also make ca kho, which substitutes the meat (usually pork belly) with fish - though this version typically doesn't come with eggs.

And the Menudo boy band was from Puerto Rico. 😍

@@LoneWolf-oi4yx Brilliant!!! :D

@@LoneWolf-oi4yx Puerto Rico Martin? 😁

Except the Mexican "menudo" is closer to Filipino "callos" than the Filipino "menudo."

Sorry not similar at all. Philippine menudo is more of a stew and Mexico's menudo is more similar to our callos that is more like a soupy consistency.

funny right? yeah. if you read the history of puerto rico and the philippines, you'll know why.

My gran brought a lumpia recipe back after one of her many travels in the sixties. Halaal, much larger, with mince and mung sprouts and a secret sauce that we still enjoy 3 generations later.

@@bilkees8151 that's a type of lumpia. We call it lumpiang togue(mung sprouts) or lumpiang gulay(vegetable). There are few types of lumpia and the one that is featured in this video is called lumpiang shanghai.

PH and PR are more like small sisters, Mexico and the Philippines are the big sisters.

@@garry5oh no they are not Mexico true Spanish who got independence from Spain it's closer to Argentina and Uruguay Colombia Peru and Venezuela and Cuba who all got independence from Spain Puerto Ricans and Filipinos aren't Spanish because they didn't get independence from Spain they are Americans

No your not Spanish because they didn't get independence from Spain your Americans

And the US too, just that PH got away hahaha

@@garry5ohabsolutely not, PR has very little in common vs PR and the Ph have waaaaay more in common. As a PR I have more in common with Filipinos than Mexicans even though we speak different languages. Also Spain colonized PR waaaaaaay before Mexico so no we didn’t inherit anything from Mexico, DR and Cuba are our big sisters, those were the first Latin countries discovered and colonized and were like triplets. Caribbean culture is extremely different.

Your not Hispanic anymore your Americans

Find a bodega that's near to you. They should have Coco Rico. Hope you get to visit P.R.

Prepare yourself to learn the language first so that when you go back to visit, you'll easily blend in with the locals.

I did enjoy the video but I was bothered as well...

Ow no we are at war...joke

@@dayangmarikit6860 lumpia is a asian food...he/she just saying that cultures have so many similarities

@@dayangmarikit6860 Yes because lumpia was brought by the Chinese immigrants from Guangzhou and Fujian province

@@dayangmarikit6860 wrapped in rice paper? lumpia wrapper is made from flour and cornstarch, they're quite different. I won't say they look like egg rolls cause they are thicker and rice paper is much thinner and transparent compared to lumpia's translucent nature. It is made with ground pork, minced garlic, carrots, ground black pepper, salt, and soy sauce (not sure about turnips, celery, or cilantro, you might be misremembering or have a different recipe but all Lumpia I've had never had any of those and I'm filipino, born and raised) but you can't rule out that over time the "traditional" recipe for what was once Chinese has developed to include our own "filipino" mix, which includes a Spanish influence. Secondly despite being inspired from a different culinary culture, it still may appeal to those of a different culinary culture, for example: the use of garlic. Garlic is a big thing in Spanish cuisine as well.

@@mikesoria3418 Maybe modern ones in super markets, in my province they make lumpia wrappers in the local market.

Everyone eats with their hands. Dont assume you are very special. As your former Miss Universe once said “Why do you eat with your feet?”

@@eduardochavacano No she was asked "why do you eat with your hands" in which she responded with "what do you want us to do? Eat with our feet?"

Y la piña colada 😋

@@Rain_dear ♥

Puerto Ricans don’t really grate it either lol It was a wrong choice of words. Mostly, we flake the fish off with a fork or hands. It’s very easy to make! Highly recommend trying it hot and crispy 😋

There are amor of Puerto Ricans on Hawaii I assume at this point they would be considered Hawaiian due to it being a couple air generations since migration but they did take many customs with them to Hawaii

@@chrissmarie455 in Hawaii you are considered Hawaiian if you actually have Polynesian blood and ancestry.

Yup via Treaty of Paris (1898)

Also Cuba got independence from Spain

And that makes Puerto Rico and Philippines not Spanish countries until given back for now your Americans

Timor Leste can be, considering that they were conquered by the Portuguese.

What is Indo-Polynesian? I only know Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian)

truth!

Christian Filipino can relate to Chamoro people from Guam they are Austronesian and also have spanish names. Muslim Filipino can relate to Indonesian & Malaysian.

Hmmm. Maybe if you are from Luzon or the Vizayas but I think the people from Mindanao can relate to Indonesians or Malaysians.

Puerto Ricans and Filipinos aren't Spanish because they didn't get independence from Spain

@Damen Rex Philippines is culturally nothing like Indonesia, Malaysia or Singapore though. Those countries have heavy Chinese or Indian influence, which the Philippines doesn't have. Jakarta and KL are also primarily Muslim, which is rare in the Philippines. Bali is Hindu. Singapore is primarily Chinese with some Indian and a few Malay. It is also highly developed and more like any East Asian country. It's nothing like the Philippines. It's not simply the religion in the Philippines that comes from Spain. It's present everywhere - the language, food, traditional clothing, architecture, culture, activities etc. Mexico is more similar to the Philippines than Indonesia, Malaysia or Singapore. I am only talking about the culture, not the people, of course we're still Southeast Asian but we were under Spanish rule for 333 years and that has altered our culture.

​​@@kayflip2233 theres a lot of chinese influence in filipino culture, language, and food too brought in from traders and immigrants mainly from the Fujian province (like in this video alone, lumpia is literally from chinese), while Philippines starts to resemble an Indonesian province in a lot of ways the further south you go As for indian influence, you'll only really find it in studies of precolonial animism, as well as certain loan vocabulary (eg.gulay, tupa) and our rice desserts (eg. puto) Im not saying we don't have _any_ Spanish/LatAm traits, but that more often than not alot of people when they mention this, they (unintentionally or not) also understate our Asianess and not giving it the proper credit due in forming Filipino culture and identity

@@zaqareemalcolm compared to the rest of Asia and Southeast Asia, Philippines has the least Chinese influence.

@@kayflip2233 debatable because east timor exists, but also that isn't the same as insignificant or none at all either

Your not Spanish

What are you talking about do some research

Huh? Hahhahahhaa. Fakkkkeeeeee.

i think it's czech republic

@@jaysonreyalbarando6558 I actually feel embarrassed for you, telling me to do some research when it is you who should be doing some research. This is from the Official Gazette of the Philippines the Philippine flag has roots in the flag family to which it belongs-that of the last group of colonies that sought independence from the Spanish Empire at the close of the 19th century, a group to which the Philippines belongs. (This include the flags of Cuba and Puerto Rico)

I think rice is already a staple in Spain even before the conquest. The rice that the Spaniards use are actually from Arabs and Spain was once an Arab civilization for at least a thousand years. I dont know about the bananas though but it is believed that eating squid ink originated from the locals in the islands of the Philippines. The practice was then brought to Europe and Italy learned the consumption of squid ink from the Spaniards. A practice that they learned from the pacific islands of the Philippines

@@100percentBroonese Filipinos came before Polynesians. Filipinos were the first Asian Americans in the USA. Look up the history of Austronesians so you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Also coconuts and carabao mango/Philippine mango that's called Manila mangoe in Mexico?? not sure tho

Some people too actually, that's why some Mexicans looks like Asians so It's kinda funny how they're saying that Filipinos are water Mexicans or something when historically, those people came from us

@@sagisag-panulat Mexicans didn't come from Filipinos but rather we all came from the same race! We all came from the Mongoloid (btw scientific name of the race, not to be used in an offensive manner) which then migrated through Russia and into Alaska, then they went down and after that through thousands of years, the people adapted to the climate of Latin America Mongoloids also migrated down to Southeast Asia, settling in Formosa (known today as Taiwan) spent a thousand years adapting to the climate AND THEN they migrated to the Philippines and to the rest of Southeast Asia, Madagascar and the Pacific The more indigenous the Mexican, the less mixed they are then the more Southeast Asian they'd look and again this is because of the climate and our origin We are all just Mongoloids who migrated and adapted to similar climates, we didn't come from eachother.

Kaldereta is mostly beef. I have never eaten a caldereta made of pork or chicken. If it's chicken, I call it as afritada.

To me, they all look the same. Until someone points out which is which.

@@girlsquad224 you can easily tell by the meat used and how the meat was cut.

I have to admit that their Lechón is better than our PR lechón. I have a vacation house in the Philippines, and have tried their lechón there. Even the places near where I live (Vacaville California), are better than PR.

I wanna try lechón from other countries too! And other similar dishes like Empanadas and etc. I'm curious how they actually are similar to one other.

I think that was purposeful because a lot of Filipino dishes are stew like and carne guisada is similar. Arroz con gandules is similar to Nigerian rice jollof.

Arroz con gandules is similar to our filipino arroz a la valenciana

@@Dangic23 Try babi guling (suckling pig) in Bali. It's even better than Filipino lechon and I'm Filipino.
