This is a delicious and easy to cook Kapampangan pork and chicken combo dish. I think many Pinoys will love this dish because of its sweet and sour taste because of the pickles and it is tomato sauce based dish. At first glance of this dish it will remind you of menudo because it contains hotdogs, pork liver, pork cubes and tomato sauce. But the taste is different from menudo or afritada which are also tomato based dish. You can also have an option to make it more savory by using cubed pork skin with a little fat at the beginning by sauteing it along with the garlic and onions until the skin is brown and rendered the fat. I think this is a technique of most Kapampangan to make their dish tasty and savory. But if you are health conscious or having some health issues, then I think it is better to omit this part.
