World Marzipan Day + Día Mundial del Mazapán [Eng+Spa]

Friday, January 12. The work week is over, but I've been working from home, so there hasn't really been much change to my #everydaylife. The weather is still a little cold, for a tropical country, but it is completely normal, there are at least a couple of months before the hot season begins.

I hope this weekend is also calm. Now, changing the topic, let's comment on the anniversary of #History that I chose for today. It's 'World Marzipan Day'. This is a celebration on the theme of #food, which I like so much, but it has certain peculiarities that caught my attention about this #sweet that is so popular in different Latin American countries.

Viernes, 12 de enero. Ha terminado la semana laboral, pero he estado trabajando desde casa, así que en realidad no ha habido muchos cambios en mi #vida cotidiana. El clima sigue estando u poco frío, para ser un país tropical, pero es algo completamente normal, faltan al menos un par de meses antes de que se inicie la temporada de calor.

Espero que este fin de semana también sea tranquilo. Ya cambiando de tema, pasemos a comentar sobre la efeméride de la #Historia que escogí para hoy. Es el ‘Día Mundial del Mazapán’. Esta es una celebración en el tema de #comida, que tanto me agrada, pero tiene ciertas peculiaridades que me llamaron la atención sobre este #dulce que es tan popular en diferentes países de América Latina.

The origin of this sweet is generally located in Spain (Toledo), when the recipe was made in the Convent of San Clemente. And although there is no exact date, it is believed that its creation was shortly after the battle of 'Las Navas de Tolosa' in 1212. The point is that this origin, which takes us to the European Middle Ages, may not be entirely precise. Well, there are similar recipes (and from earlier dates) that come from Arab sources, and even from Greek antiquity. This could push the creation date of this #dessert back a millennium, at least.

Another thing is that the ingredients may have variations depending on the country and its traditions, for example, in Spain the most traditional marzipan is made with almond flour, but in Mexico there is a variant that uses peanuts, and that has been very popular since the middle of the century. Twentieth century. In my case, in Venezuela I think I have read recipes that use almonds and another that uses Merey (which can also be called: Cashews, Indian Nut, cashew, casho, cashew, cashew, cajuil, caguil or pepa).

El origen de esta #golosina está ubicado generalmente en España, cuando se realizó la receta en el Convento de San Clemente. Y aunque no se tiene una fecha exacta, se cree que su creación fue poco después de la batalla de las Navas de Tolosa en 1212. El punto es que este origen, que nos lleva al medioevo europeo, puede que no sea del todo preciso, pues hay recetas parecidas (y de fechas anteriores) que provienen de fuentes árabes, e incluso de la antigüedad griega. Esto podría llevar la fecha de creación de este #postre a un milenio hacia atrás, cuando menos.

Otra cosa es que los ingredientes pueden tener variaciones según el país y sus tradiciones, por ejemplo, en España el mazapán más tradicional se elabora con harina de almendras, pero en México hay una variante que usa maní, y que es muy popular desde mediados del Siglo XX. En mi caso, en Venezuela creo que he leído de recetas que usan almendras y otra que usa Merey (que también pueden llamarse: Anacardos, Nuez de la India, cajú, casho, castaña de cajú, marañón, cajuil, caguil o pepa).

Personally, I remember eating marzipan in various versions a few years ago. But I haven't eaten it for a while, so my tasting memory is a little fuzzy, I guess it will be a good excuse so that when I go out shopping next week, I'll buy one of these sweets to 'refresh my memory' (smile staff).

Well, I say goodbye, wishing you that you are well and that we can read again another time.

En lo personal, recuerdo haber comido mazapán en varias versiones, hace unos años. Pero tengo algo de tiempo sin comerlo, así que mi memoria de degustación está un poco difusa, supongo que será una buena excusa para que cuando salga a comprar la semana que viene, me compre uno de estos dulces para ‘refrescar la memoria’ (sonrisa personal).

Bien, ya me despido, deseándote que tú estés bien y que nos podamos leer de nuevo en otra oportunidad.

So interesting morzipan
!CTP

Certainly the topic of marzipan is interesting :)
It is a recipe that my country inherited from the time of colonization, but over the centuries we made an interesting and (in my opinion) very good tasting variation.
