A picada (pronounced; from picar, "to nibble at") [1] is a typical dish of Argentine and Uruguayan cuisine usually served as a starter, although sometimes as a main course.

Picadillo served with rice. Picadillo (Spanish pronunciation: [pikaˈðiʝo], "mince") is a traditional dish in many Latin American countries including Mexico and Cuba, as well as the Philippines.
The "mince" in mincemeat comes from the Middle English mincen, and the Old French mincier both traceable to the Vulgar Latin minutiare, meaning chop finely. The word mincemeat is an adaptation of an earlier term minced meat, meaning finely chopped meat. Meat was also a term for food in general, not only animal flesh. [2]
