btw jess....we also came across this link below...and noticed it was mentioned that its similar to cuban piccadillo? Is this true?

http://www.squidoo.com/homemade-empanada-recipes

"Homemade Filipino Empanada Recipe
One of the distinct quality of Filipino Empanadas is similarly somewhat to the Cuban piccadillo. Some Filipinos are not partial to a more sweeter flavor and much prefer the Hispanic version. Doughy baked and flaky fried version are the most commonly found delicacy."

YES it is :agree
very similar
but i love how the one you gave me was sweeter--looks like the flip one tends to be sweeter so it makes sense :agree

im not sure if you can get this at a local hispanic food shop, but i believe you can get at a filipino food mart....just ask for pork lard (manteka).

they are these circle dumpling things, that are somehow injected w/ french onion soup, and coated w/ a smelly good cheese and broiled enough to geth the cheese melted. They're eaten w/ toothpick thingys and and are boiling burning mouth hot when you bite into them.

[Toni Bunz]

ant that was the best description ajfklewa;jf

they sound yummy lol

[bennyboy]

the inventor of those should win some type of medal

love french onion soup

I think they are "injected" the same way soup dumplings at chinese spots are. The soup part is frozen, then wrapped in the dumpling, then cooked. I think :shrugger

[susieqt11]

mmm I would love these again

best be careful when biting into them, my friend got a shirt of onion soup one time from her boyfriend. he was not expecting the burst lol

[DiorGirl]

look how yummy

[Toni Bunz]
