Spanish Version Bellow


It's Tuesday night, and it's the last day of the month. This April went by at tremendous speed, from my perspective. In reality, nothing happened to stand out in the aspects of my personal #life. I worked a little from the computer at home, and helped with a couple of minor things around the house. So it surprises me that I have the perception that these days have flown by, when in reality my life is going quite calmly.

Well, let's better move on to the topic of the title of this post. Since, despite being a daily record post, considering how quiet my life can be, it is better to complement it with comments on some anniversary of #History. Otherwise, the post might not be very long.

Today's celebration is on the theme of #food, and it is about a dried fruit that I find interesting. It is an ingredient in several cooking preparations in the culinary tradition of my country, and is part of the cultural heritage that we have from the Iberian Peninsula, since the times of European colonization in America. Today is Raisin Day.

Personally, I like #raisins, even as #sweet snacks. Although I know that there are people who hate these dried grapes, going so far as to hate them in any dish they are in. I suppose my case has to do with the fact that I learned to eat them since I was a child, as part of the dishes on the Christmas table.

Well, the day has been celebrated by a North American initiative since 1909. At that time, raisin producers in the State of California promoted the idea of ​​celebrating this product every April 30. I thought about it for a while, and it didn't seem strange to me that it was this way, California was part of the territory of the Spanish Empire, during the 15th to 18th centuries, in America. And the Spanish brought with them crops and food preparation techniques.

So, although the initiative of the festival is North American, the root of this cultivation goes back to the Hispanic heritage. On the other hand, I remembered that I had seen another celebration date for the raisin, and after checking, I found that it was a festival from a region of Spain, which is celebrated on September 18.

Although it seems that the Spanish festival is almost medieval, it seems that its scope has been rather local. In recent years it has received greater government support for its recognition, but it seems that the North American proposal has an advantage in that part of internationalization.

Let's get back to the raisin issue. These small dried grapes can come in different colors, depending on the grape variety used as a base for their preparation. But the most common and popular colors are two: Yellow and black. In reality, yellow is a color perception that remains after drying white grapes, of the Sultanina variety, and black is rather an extremely intense violet color, a product of drying grapes of the Corinto variety.

The more I talk about raisins, the more I want to eat a few (personal smile). I guess that tomorrow, when I have to go out to buy groceries, I'll take the opportunity to see if there are any portions of raisins for sale, and I'll buy them.

I'm late and it's time to publish. I say goodbye, wishing you that you are well and that we can read again another time.

Es la noche del martes, y es el último día del mes. Este abril pasó a una velocidad tremenda, desde mi perspectiva. En realidad, no pasó nada a resaltar en los aspectos de mi #vida personal. Trabajé un poco desde la computadora en casa, y ayudé con un par de cosas menores en casa. Así que me sorprende que yo tengo la percepción de que estos días han pasado volando, cuando en realidad mi vida va en bastante calma.

Bueno, mejor pasemos al tema el título de este post. Ya que, a pesar de ser un post de registro diario, considerando lo tranquila que puede llegar a ser mi vida, es mejor complementarla con comentarios sobre alguna Efeméride de la #Historia. De otra manera, podría pasar que el post no fuera muy largo.

La celebración de hoy es en el tema de #comida, y se trata de un fruto seco que yo encuentro interesante. Se trata de un ingrediente de varias preparaciones de cocina en la tradición culinaria de mi país, y es parte de la herencia cultural que tenemos de la Península Ibérica, desde los tiempos de la colonización europea en América. Hoy es el Día de la Pasa.

En lo personal, me gustan las #pasas, incluso como snacks #dulce. Aunque sé que hay gente que detesta estas uvas desecadas, llegando a aborrecerlas en cualquier platillo que esté. Supongo que mi caso tiene que ver con que aprendí a comerlas desde niño, como parte de los platillos de la mesa navideña.

Bien, el día se celebra por una iniciativa norteamericana, desde 1909. En ese entonces, los productores de pasas del Estado de California, propulsaron la idea de celebrar este producto cada 30 de abril. Lo pensé por un rato, y no me pareció raro que fuera de esta manera, California era parte del territorio del Imperio Español, durante los siglos XV al XVIII, en América. Y los españoles trajeron consigo cultivos y técnicas de preparación de alimentos.

Así que, si bien la iniciativa de la fiesta es norteamericana, la raíz de este cultivo se hunde en la herencia hispana. Por otra parte, recordé que había visto otra fecha de celebración para la pasa, y luego de revisar, me encontré que era una fiesta de una región de España, que se celebra el 18 de septiembre.

Aunque parece que la fiesta española es de época casi medieval, parece que su alcance ha sido más bien local. En años recientes cuenta con mayor apoyo gubernamental para su reconocimiento, pero parece que la propuesta norteamericana le lleva ventaja en esa parte de la internacionalización.

Volvamos al asunto de las pasas. Estas pequeñas uvas desecadas pueden presentarse en distintos colores, según sea la variedad de uva que se use como base para su elaboración. Pero los colores más comunes y populares son dos: Amarillo y negro. En realidad, el amarillo es una percepción de color que queda luego de desecar uvas blancas, de la variedad Sultanina, y el negro es más bien un color violeta extremadamente intenso, producto de desecar uvas de la variedad Corinto.

Mientras más hablo de las pasas, más se me antoja comer unas cuantas (sonrisa personal). Supongo que mañana, que tengo que salir a comprar víveres, aprovecharé para ver si hay en venta algunas porciones de pasas y me las compraré.

Se me hace tarde y ya toca publicar. Me despido, deseándote que tú estés bien y que nos podamos leer de nuevo en otra oportunidad.
