Cherry Cheesecake Day + Día del Cheesecake de Cereza [Eng+Spa]

in We Are Alive Tribe7 months ago (edited)
This Tuesday, April 23, the day started a little hectic, but it was for a good reason, the electric service returned today, after being without electricity since yesterday. Considering the unstable power grid, my brother and I ran to advance our respective jobs before another failure occurred. Luckily, despite some power surges, the service is still working.

I guess my #life today hasn't been as calm as other days, but it's nothing too serious. Outside these details, I have little to tell about my personal affairs. So, I can move on to what is the center of the daily publication, the Anniversary of #History that I chose for today. I have preferences for #food topics, even more so if they lead me to investigate and learn new things.

That happened again today. I found out it's 'Cherry Cheesecake Day'.

Este martes, 23 de abril, el día comenzó un poco agitado, pero fue por algo bueno, el servicio eléctrico regresó hoy, luego de quedarnos sin electricidad desde ayer. Considerando lo inestable de la red eléctrica, mi hermano y yo corrimos para avanzar en nuestros respectivos trabajos antes de que se presentara otra falla. Por suerte, a pesar de algunos saltos de tensión, aún está funcionando el servicio.

Supongo que mi #vida hoy no ha sido tan calmada como otros días, pero no es nada que sea demasiado grave. Fuera de estos detalles, tengo poco para contar de mis asuntos personales. Así que, puedo pasar a lo que es el centro de la publicación diaria, la Efemérides de la #Historia que escogí para hoy. Tengo preferencias por los temas de #comida, más aún si me llevan a investigar y aprender cosas nuevas.

Eso sucedió de nuevo hoy. Me encontré que es el ‘Día del Cheesecake de Cereza’.

I was surprised that there was such a specific day for one of the variants of #Cheesecake, and I remembered that I had seen a celebration date for this cake in another month. It seems that the popularity of this #dessert is so high that even one of its variations has a particular day of celebration.

I remember being fond of this cake when I was a university student, because of a friend who invited me to eat it, and she was a big fan of this dessert. Over time, I learned that the cake we ate had different recipes depending on the city and country of reference. The one we ate was based on the New York recipe.

When researching for today's post, I thought that the origin of this cake was North American, and that it dated back to the beginning of the 20th century. But, sources pointed out to me that I was a little wrong. Written references to a cake that resembles Cheesecake can be located in Ancient Greece, approximately 2,500 years ago. The next reference comes from the Roman historian Cato the Elder (Marcus Porcius Cato), a fervent opponent of Hellenization, who recorded three recipes for cakes used in ceremonies. Cato, who died 149 years before our common era, was the first historian who wrote his works in Latin, and exalted his native language, recording various things in a monumental collection of books, of which we now only have fragments.

Me sorprendí que hubiera un día tan específico para una de las variantes de la Cheesecake, o #torta de queso (como la conocemos también), y recordé que había visto una fecha de celebración de esta torta en otro mes. Parece que la popularidad de este #postre es tan alta que incluso una de sus variaciones cuenta con un día de celebración particular.

Yo recuerdo haberme aficionado a esta torta cuando era estudiante de la Universidad, por una amiga que me invitó a comerla, y ella era muy amante de este postre. Con el tiempo aprendí que la torta que comíamos tenía recetas diversas según la ciudad y país de referencia. La que comíamos era basada en la receta de New York.

Al investigar para el post de hoy, yo pensaba que el origen de esta torta era norteamericano, y que se remontaba a inicios del siglo XX. Pero, las fuentes me señalaron que yo estaba un poco equivocado. Se pueden ubicar referencias escritas sobre un pastel que se parece a la Cheeesecake en la antigua Grecia, hace unos 2500 años aproximadamente. La siguiente referencia vienen del historiador romano Catón el Viejo (Marcus Porcius Cato), un ferviente opositor a la helenización, quien registró tres recetas de pasteles usados en ceremonias. Catón, que falleció 149 años antes de nuestra era común, fue el primer historiador que escribió en latín sus obras, y enalteció su lengua natal, registrando diversas cosas en una monumental colección de libros, de los que ahora solo disponemos fragmentos.

However, these recipes from classical antiquity only bear resemblance to what we have today, so it is difficult to point to them as the direct birth of the cake. Rather, our current recipe is a product of evolution over millennia. That leads me to jump to the 15th century, which is when I find again a reference that is similar to today's cake, as part of British confectionery. I find it strange that this culinary tradition doesn't seem to have a very good reputation, but the British have been very good at creating dessert recipes.

However, it was in the 18th century, when a yeast-free recipe appeared, that a #cake very similar to the current one was finally found. We then reached a further step, when in 1872, William Lawrence (Chester, New York) developed 'American Cream Cheese'. An element that is very important in the recipe that we consume today. So, after all, the cake does have quite a relationship with the city of New York. So, it can be said that the current cheesecake is a product of the 19th century.

At present, New York cheesecake bases are fairly stable, with a baked dough base, a generous dollop of sweetened cream cheese, and a topping that provides additional flavor. It is this topping that can define whether the cake is Chocolate, areequipe, Strawberry or (as is today's) Cherry.

Well, I have to say goodbye now. It was very difficult for me to summarize everything I wanted to publish so that it could fit into a little more than one page. And my day is already over. I hope you are well and that we can read again another time.

Sin embargo, estas recetas de la antigüedad clásica solo tienen parecido con lo que tenemos en la actualidad, por lo que es difícil señalarlas como el nacimiento directo de la torta. Más bien, nuestra receta actual es un producto de la evolución durante milenios. Eso me lleva a saltar hasta el siglo XV, que es cuando encuentro de nuevo una referencia que se asemeja a la torta de hoy, como parte de la repostería británica. Yo encuentro extraño que esta tradición culinaria no parece tener muy buena fama, pero los británicos han sido muy buenos para crear recetas de postres.

Sin embargo, es en el siglo XVIII, cuando aparece una receta sin levadura, que por fin se encuentra una torta muy similar a la actual. Llegamos luego a un paso más, cuando en 1872, William Lawrence (Chester, New York) desarrolla el ‘Queso Crema Americano’. Un elemento que es muy importante en la receta que hoy en día consumimos. Así que, después de todo la torta si que tiene bastante relación con la ciudad de New York. Entonces, se puede decir que la actual torta de queso es un producto del siglo XIX.

En la actualidad, las bases de las tortas de queso, receta New York, son bastante estables, con una base de masa horneada, una generosa porción de queso crema endulzado y una cubierta que le brinda sabor adicional. Es esta cubierta lo que nos puede definir que la tarta sea de Chocolate, de arequipe, de fresa o (como es la del día de hoy) de cerezas.

Bien, me tengo ya que despedir. Me costó mucho resumir todo lo que quería publicar para que cupiera en poco mas de una cuartilla. Y ya se me acaba el día. Te deseo que tú estés bien y que nos podamos leer de nuevo en otra oportunidad.
