Cuisine of the Philippines Dinuguan (pork blood stew) or dinardaraan in Ilocano is a Filipino dish usually made from the blood, entrails and meat of a pig. It is sometimes known as "chocolate meat" as the stew has a thick chocolate-like color and consistency. The name "dinuguan" is derived from the Filipino word "dugo", meaning blood. Likewise, in Ilocano, "dinardaraan" is derived from "dara", meaning blood. Dinuguan has more liquid, while dinardaraan is drier.
