We are on Monday, April 22. Time seems to have passed very quickly, and I lead a calm #life without major recent shocks. I don't know why I have this perception, you would think that if you live a calm lifetime should seem like it drags on, instead of running so fast.
Well, apart from these ramblings of my perception of time, nothing interesting has happened today. So, as I usually do, I will focus most of this day's record on an #Ephemerides of #History that attracted me. Today I once again celebrate #food, specifically some #sweets that have a colorful presence. It's 'Jelly Bean Day'.

Estamos en el día lunes, 22 de abril. El tiempo me parece que ha transcurrido muy rápido, y eso que llevo una #vida tranquila y sin mayores sobresaltos recientes. No sé por qué tengo esta percepción, uno pensaría que si se vive una vida en calma el tiempo debería parecer que se arrastra, en lugar de que corriera tan rápido.
Bien, fuera de estas divagaciones de mi percepción del tiempo, no ha pasado nada interesante el día de hoy. Así, tal como suelo hacer, enfocaré la mayor parte de este registro el día a una #Efemerides de la #Historia que me atrajo. Hoy vuelvo a tomar una celebración de #comida, en específico unos #dulces que tienen una colorida presencia. Es el ‘Día del Jelly Bean’.

On this side of the world, #JellyBeans can also be found under the name Gummies or Gominolas. But it seems that each of these sweets has some distinctive feature, and it is a mistake to put them all under the same label. Anyway, to me there doesn't seem to be much difference, so I was surprised by the idea that they were different things.
JellyBean are a candy of North American origin, as I read, but it seems that it was inspired by a certain type of Turkish candy, which has a gummy texture and liquid jelly inside, that candy is the Lokum, too called: Turkish delight.
The origin of this #candy is a bit unclear, but it seems to be related to the Civil War. There are references that, in 1861, William Schrafft (a Boston pastry chef) urged people to buy them as gifts for Civil War soldiers. This is not surprising, because this city, capital of Massachusetts, had from the beginning been one of the main focuses of tensions between north and south, or between the Union and the Confederates.
Despite this date, which I point out in the previous paragraph, I am not completely sure when these small sweets began to be produced. I will have to settle for the fact that they are from the early 1820s, and that after the war they were somewhat related to the celebration of Easter. As a curiosity, the word that gives it its name was used, in the 1910s, as a slang that was synonymous with Dandy. A curious detail, but somewhat derogatory.

Por este lado del mundo a las #JellyBeans también se les puede encontrar con el nombre de Gominolas o Gomitas. Pero parece que cada uno de estos dulces tiene alguna particularidad distintiva, y es un error el ponerlos todos bajo la misma etiqueta. En fin, para mí no parece haber mucha diferencia, así que me sorprendí con la idea de que fueran cosas distintas.
Los JellyBean son una golosina de origen norteamericano, según leí, pero parece que se inspirara en cierto tipo de dulce turco, que es de contextura gomosa y jalea líquida en su interior, ese dulce es el Lokum, también llamado: Delicia turca.
El origen de esta #golosina está un poco difuso, pero parece tener relación con la Guerra de Secesión. Se tienen referencias de que, en 1861, William Schrafft (pastelero de Boston) instó a la gente a comprarlos como regalo para los soldados de la Guerra de Secesión. Esto no es de extrañar, porque esta ciudad, capital de Massachusetts, había sido desde el principio uno de los focos principales de las tensiones entre norte y sur, o entre la Unión y los Confederados.
A pesar de esta fecha, que señalo en el párrafo anterior, no tengo una certeza plena de cuando se comenzaron a producir estos pequeños dulces. Tendré que conformarme con que son de inicios de los años 1820, y que luego de la guerra se relacionaron un poco con la celebración de la Pascua. Como curiosidad, la palabra que le da nombre se llegó a usar, en la década de 1910, como un slang que era sinónimo de Dandi. Un detalle curioso, pero un tanto despectivo.

One way or the other. On the other hand, if I try to find out who proposed the celebration, I find that there is no clear reference either, although some point out that it was during a government of President Ronald Reagan, in the 1980s. But others say that, although that president was passionate about consuming these sweets, he did not establish the celebration.
Others say that it was an initiative of Beatles fans who, during their visit to the United States, imitated British fans and threw Jelly-Beans on the group. Well, the British had done it with Jelly-Baby, but I guess the Americans resorted to the closest thing they had on hand. At least it seems that everything turned out well and that George Harrison loved eating them.
I guess I won't know for sure today. Well, it's time for me to say goodbye, wishing you that you are well and that we read again another time.

Como sea. Por otro lado, si trato de averiguar quien propuso la celebración, me encuentro que no hay tampoco una referencia clara, aunque algunos señalan que fue durante un gobierno del presidente Ronald Reagan, en la década de 1980. Pero otros dicen que, si bien ese presidente era un apasionado de consumir estos dulces, él no instauró la celebración.
Otros dicen que fue una iniciativa de los fanáticos de Los Beatles que, durante su visita a Estados Unidos, imitaron a los fanáticos británicos y arrojaron Jelly-Beans sobre el grupo. Bien, los británicos lo habían hecho con Jelly-Baby, pero supongo que los americanos recurrieron a lo más parecido que tenían a mano. Por lo menos parece que salió todo bien y que a George Harrison le encantaba comérselos.
Supongo que no lo sabré con certeza hoy. Bueno, ya es hora de que me despida, deseándote que tú estés bien y que nos leamos de nuevo en otra oportunidad.

Parece una celebración popular de las que surgen espontáneamente. Por la costumbre y uso de las personas.
Creía que era algo de la revolución industrial para acá, la verdad que las cosas por muy sencillas que pueden parecer tiene bastante más historia detrás de ellas.
Puede resultar asombroso descubrir que algunas cosas son mucho más antiguas de lo que imaginábamos.
