Sancocho. DR vs PR

[AlterEgo]

The weather in the northeast USA has me thinking about sancocho. Then coincidentally a Facebook friend who lives in Pennsylvania asked today for recommendations of a Spanish restaurant that makes Puerto Rican sancocho, “NOT Dominican”.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the two?

Scroll down and the comparison between the two is taken by the horn.

For the sake of comparison, this is the original sancocho.

I would them both with an issue. I have had sancocho here that seems like a blend of the two. My mother's german stew ( Pfefferpotthast ), and no my mother is not German but she grew up surrounded by German farm families, taste just as good though. My MIL doesn't use goat in her sancocho, says goat is meant to be eaten alone.

That article seems odd to me. In DR the liquid is usually yellow, from the auyama, I’ve never seen red/tomato based. And never with fish!!! Or goat, or longaniza. (I agree with Bob’s MIL, chivo guisado is separate dish).

Maybe that’s the PR version?

7 carnes.....and not red/tomato based.

No fish and no tomatoe! I agree. No salami (comedor style) nor longaniza. Chivo depends where in the country I think.

No longaniza? Blasphemy! LOL... Don't ever go to Sirena for sancocho. It's heavy on Loganiza and smoked pork.
