EN: to smoke or cure (meat/fish)
This is the OG food preservation technique before refrigerators were a thing. It’s the process that gives us the glorious breakfast food, Tapa. So when you "itapa ang karne," you're essentially starting the journey to a delicious tapsilog. It's the art of making something last, whether it's beef or fish (tinapa).
From i- (causative verb prefix) + tapa (cured meat).
ROOT MEANING: dried or cured meat (usually beef)
Refers to the process of curing, usually by smoking or sun-drying, to make 'tapa' (cured meat) or 'tinapa' (smoked fish).
