crillo? A type of Peruvian cuisine?

Question

What is "crillo" (word used in Peru)? Is it a cuisine?

Answer 1

I had never heard of that word before. Are you sure it is the correct word? It might be a misspelling of Criollo. In what context did you find it?

<

p> The definition of Criollo is: A social class in the caste system of the overseas colonies established by Spain in the 16th century, especially in Latin America, comprising the locally born people of pure or mostly Spanish ancestry.

p> I'm not sure if that is what you meant though. There is also an Argentinian recipe called "Crillo de Pollo" and its thick stew.

Agree! Criollo- the propper spelling. A mixture of Spanish & native indian (SA) cuisine, is what my friend was talking about. Thanks!! - honda1981, Apr 19, 2011
