yea your right on that coz;

 

The strongest culinary influence is from Spain which ruled the Philippines for almost 400 years. Food historians claim that 80 per cent of Philippine dishes are of Spanish origin. Filipinos were also Spanish-inspired. Thus many of the party and fiesta dishes and those served for special occasions bear names like relleno, morcon, paella, callos, embutido, caldereta, etc.

 

but could you say it is our dish even though with a spanish name or origin? hence most cooks books, wikipedia even and websites refer to mechado as a filipino dish? and like you say we just adopted it and maybe changed it to our way of cooking?

 

your super O.T.

Philippines not PhiLLipines...the name originated from Ruy López de Villalobos after naming Samar & Leyte islands Las Islas Filipinas in the honour of crown Prince Philip II of Spain

 

 

besides mechado i guess is Adobo...

The Internet was establish only around 1970's, Wikipedia was likely establish after that .....

Mechar - spanish word "to Stuff"

 

Spanish dishes were mostly alligned to use tomato sauce and tomato paste for ingredients.

Mechado uses tomato sauce .......

 

Asian's signature ingredient is the SOY SAUCE and most likely the Adobo is derived from Chinese dishes (may not be so Filipino after all)!

 

 

luol_deng O.T. ka i suggest choose another dish that is FILIPINO
