Glad that you liked my hub, a2z50.. thanks for your comment.
dyesebel may I please come over for dinner ? I am starving ! :)
sure
OK, I know that correcting people's spelling is very nasty. In fact, I am a terrible speller, so people keep correcting me. Anyhow, I grew up eating "puchero", so reading the word "pochero" kind of tortures me. It is not that there aren't a few million people spelling it "pochero". However, I guess "pochero" looks to me as bad as "sumbrero" would look to most people.
This said, thanks for promoting the puchero. I am not familiar with your recipy. My mother used to make it with brisket, pork, chicken, potato, onions, green beans, garbanzos (chick peas), and carrots. It was delicious.
On the second day, she would boil rice in the puchero left-overs, and we would eat the best rice in the world.
actually this recipe is spelled in many ways in our country Philippines.. it can also be putsero, potsero.. it's really delicious.. thanks gramon1 for stopping by.
The Philippines are very interesting, with what seems to me is a mixed of native, chinesse, and Spanish culture. When I watch Philippino movies, I am always surprised by Spanish or Spanish sounding words.
You also have very interesting martal arts.
Thanks, I have multicultural students and took this for a shared food day - they really loved it and I made a good impression - thanks so much!
To gramon1, your observations are correct. We have some Spanish words in our language like mesa, lapiz, papel, etc. We were colonized by Spain for more than 300 years a long time ago. Thanks for the comment.
To gramarye, I am flattered by what you said. Glad your students loved this food. Thanks.
