[Eng+Spa] International Avocado Day + Día Internacional del Aguacate

in We Are Alive Tribe10 months ago
It is the last day of the month of July, it is also Monday, the first day of the work week. End and beginning, both things at the same time, that gives some poetic inspiration, but that would be a topic for another publication. In this record of today, July 31, there is little to talk about my personal affairs and my #life, other than that our electrical service failed for a few hours, the cell phone signal was working poorly, and the people from the internet company that we are hiring to have a better service, has not come to do the installation. In short, it is better that I do not complain too much, because I know that we are at home much better than several million of my compatriots in this current Venezuela.

Better let's talk a little about the ephemeris of #History for today, it happens that it has to do with #food, or rather with an ingredient of various preparations that I like to prepare in the #kitchen. Today is the 'International Avocado Day', a fleshy, green, large-seeded berry, of Mexican origin, and which is also called: Aguacate, Palta or Curo.

Es el último día del mes de julio, también es lunes, el primer día de la semana laboral. Fin e inicio, ambas cosas a la vez, eso da cierta inspiración poética, pero eso sería tema para otra publicación. En este registro del día de hoy, 31 de julio, hay poco que contar con respecto a mis asuntos personales y #vida, fuera de que nuestro servicio eléctrico falló durante unas horas, la señal del celular estaba trabajando mal, y la gente de la compañía de internet que estamos contratando para tener un servicio mejor, no ha venido a hacer la instalación. En fin, que es mejor que no me queje mucho, porque sé que estamos en casa mucho mejor que varios millones de mis compatriotas en esta #Venezuela actual.

Mejor pasemos a hablar un poco de la efeméride de la #Historia para el día de hoy, sucede que es una que tiene que ver con #comida, o más bien con un ingrediente de diversas preparaciones que me gusta preparar en la #cocina. Hoy es el ‘Día internacional del Aguacate’, una baya carnosa, verde, de gran semilla, de origen mexicano, y que se le llama también: Avocado, Palta o Curo.

In the family we really like this #fruit, we generally eat it raw seasoned with a little salt, but there are much more varied preparations, such as using it raw in a cold salad, as a garnish for meat dishes (be it beef, or poultry), or raw in seasoned sauces to accompany various dishes. Something that surprised me a few years ago was to find that in Brazil, our neighboring country, they prepare an avocado shake with milk, and then I found out that this milk-based drink was also popular in some parts of Southeast Asia.

But it is not only raw that the tender, creamy, and fatty pulp of the #avocado is consumed, as I have come across various recipes that indicate that it can largely replace the use of margarine, butter, and eggs in baking and pastry recipes. In some cases, it is also used to cook sauces, both to add its flavor and to serve as a thickener for the food being prepared.

En la familia nos gusta mucho este #fruto, generalmente lo consumimos crudo aderezado con un poco de sal, pero hay preparaciones mucho más variadas, tal como usarlo crudo en una ensalada fría, como guarnición para platos de carne (ya sea carne de res, o de aves), o crudo en salsas condimentadas para acompañar platillos diversos. Algo que me sorprendió hace unos años, fue encontrarme que, en Brasil, nuestro país vecino, se prepara una merengada de palta, y luego me enteré de que esa bebida con base láctea también era popular en algunas partes del sureste asiático.

Pero no es únicamente crudo que se consume la pulpa tierna, cremosa y grasa del #aguacate, pues me he encontrado con recetas diversas que señalan que puede reemplazar en buena medida el uso de margarina, mantequilla y huevos en recetas de repostería y pastelería. En algunos casos se usa también para cocciones de salsas, tanto para agregar su sabor, como para que sirva de espesante de la comida que se esté preparando.

I have not used an #avocado to make sweets, but it sounds interesting to do it someday. Although I wonder, which of the 400 existing avocado varieties would be the most recommended, and which of these varieties are actually available in my reality.

By the way, it caught my attention that although the plant appears for the first time in the territory of what is currently Mexico, since the initial records of its cultivation date back to about 500 years before our Common Era, the diffusion of this plant (and its fruit) on the continent is quite uneven, because although avocado seeds could be found among the funerary belongings of a mummy from the Inca Empire, in the Andean highlands of South America, it happens that in the case of North America, the presence of this plant is not reported, in fact the plant arrived first in Europe than in North America.

Yo no he usado una #palta para hacer dulces, pero suena interesante hacerlo algún día. Aunque me pregunto, cuál de las 400 variedades de aguacate existentes sería la más recomendable, y cuáles de esas variedades están realmente disponibles en mi realidad.

Por cierto, me llamó la atención de que si bien la planta aparece por primera vez en el territorio de lo que actualmente es México, siendo que los registros iniciales de su cultivo se remonta a unos 500 años antes de nuestra era común, la difusión de esta planta (y su fruto) en el continente es bastante desigual, pues si bien se pudo encontrar semillas de aguacate entre las pertenencias funerarias de una momia del imperio inca, en el altiplano andino de Suramérica, sucede que en el caso de Norteamérica, la presencia de esta planta no se reporta, de hecho la planta llegó primero a Europa que al norte de América.

After the arrival in America of European explorers and conquerors during the 15th and 16th centuries, the spread of plants and fruits in Europe was a relatively natural result, but it was not until the 17th century (1833) that the first records were available. Avocado cultivation in territory that is currently part of Baja California (United States).

Despite the fact that it began to be cultivated much later than in other places and that it is not the place of origin of the plant, it happens that I have read that the first formal celebration of the avocado was in the United States. I expected it to be in Mexico, after all it is a widely used ingredient in their cuisine, going as far as to call it 'Green Gold' in some places, but it seems that this is not the case. The date of July 31 began as a day of national celebration of the avocado, since 2017, and it is shortly after that it has been promoted as a celebration of global scope.

Luego de la llegada a América de los exploradores y conquistadores europeos durante los siglos XV y XVI, la difusión de las plantas y frutos en Europa fue un resultado relativamente natural, pero no es hasta el siglo XVII (1833) que se tiene los primeros registros del cultivo de Aguacate en territorio que actualmente es parte de Baja California (Estados Unidos).

A pesar de que se comenzó a cultivar mucho después que en otros sitios y de que no es el lugar de origen de la planta, pasa que he leído que la primera celebración formal del aguacate fue en Estados Unidos. Yo me esperaba que fuera en México, después de todo es un ingrediente muy usado en su concina, llegando en algunos lados a llamarlo ‘Oro Verde’, pero parece que no es así. La fecha del 31 de julio comenzó como un día de celebración nacional del aguacate, desde el año 2017, y es poco después que se ha impulsado como una celebración de alcance mundial.

Well, anyway, I think it's an interesting date and I wanted to share what I've learned from doing some research on the subject. It is time for me to say goodbye, wishing you that you are well and that we can read each other again another time.

Bien, de la manera que sea, me parece que es una fecha interesante y quería compartir lo que aprendí al investigar un poco sobre el tema. Ya toca que me despida, deseándote que tú estés bien y que nos podamos leer de nuevo en otra oportunidad.
