ZD -thank you, it could be that there are Sephardim who eat chulent, but I was talking about something else.
I once met 2 Masorati Israelis in a store in Lakewood who were really excited because they found the food they were looking for. I had never heard of it before (and I can’t remember what it’s called), so they explained to me that it’s a food that is kept hot over Shabbos just like chulent is.
I was very impressed that they were that religious that they kept hilchos bishul even though they weren’t so Frum in other ways. But I don’t remember what the food was called.
