What Discada means
Discada is a Mexican main dish name of Spanish origin meaning "plough-disc cookout". It comes from Spanish disco (disc) + -ada. It is pronounced dees-KAH-dah, and it is most associated with northern Mexico.
Named for the vessel rather than the food: a harrow disc taken off a plough and set over a fire, a farm implement turned pan.

Cochinita pibil is pork cooked in a píib, the Maya earth oven. Barbacoa gave English the word barbecue. Chiles en nogada is named for the walnut sauce that covers it.
