Pretzel Day + Día del Pretzel [Eng+Spa]

This Friday started well. I have had a most entertaining day, on the one hand, they were notified by a message that there would possibly be a suspension of the electrical service. That doesn't sound like a good thing, but giving notice (rather than making an unscheduled outage) gives you the opportunity to prepare and get the job out early.

Well, that's done, so now I can get down to registering for today's post. Actually, since my #life has been relatively calm, and I've been working from home, I don't have much more to say. I prefer to comment on the Anniversary of #History that I chose to comment on today. It is a celebration of #food, although in this case it is a wheat-based preparation that can be sweet or savory, so I can't simply consider it a sweet.

On the other hand, it is a relatively recent date of celebration (it was established in 2003), and it is not yet officially an International Day. Today is 'Pretzel Day' in the United States.

Este viernes comenzó bien. He tenido un día de lo más entretenido, por una parte, avisaron por un mensaje que posiblemente habría una suspensión del servicio eléctrico. Eso no suena como algo bueno, pero que avisen (en lugar de hacer un corte no programado) da la oportunidad de prepararse y sacar temprano el trabajo.

Bien, eso ya está hecho, así que ahora puedo dedicarme a hacer el registro para el post de hoy. En realidad, como mi #vida ha estado en relativa calma y he estado trabajando desde casa, no tengo mucho más que contar. Prefiero pasar a comentar sobre la Efemérides de la #Historia que escogí para comentar hoy. Se trata de una celebración de #comida, aunque en este caso se trata de una preparación a base de trigo que puede ser dulce o salada, así que no puedo simplemente considerarla un dulce.

Por otra parte, es una fecha de celebración relativamente reciente (se instaura en 2003), y aún no es un Día Internacional oficialmente. Hoy es el ‘Día del Pretzel’, en Estados Unidos.

I have a preference for celebrations that are international in scope, or are becoming international, but I have to admit that I'm not sure that's the case for today's holiday. The pretzels are an inheritance from migrants with German roots who immigrated to the United States at the beginning of the 18th century.

These European migrants had this bread as part of their traditions long before. It is thought that the origin of pretzels dates back to the 7th century, when a monk in Italy set out to innovate and created a reward for children who learned prayers. He named these #snacks inspired by the word “pretiola” , which could be translated as ‘small rewards’.

In reality, I am not entirely clear about this origin, I lack better references. In part, it seems to me that this story of the creation of the pretzel recipe borders on legends a bit, but that is something I find acceptable. There are many events that mark turning points in history that are then embellished with anecdotes. And one reaches the point of not being able to separate what is a pure and dry historical fact from the colorful make-up of the imagination.

Tengo preferencia por celebraciones que son de alcance internacional, o que se están internacionalizando, pero he de admitir que no estoy seguro de que ese sea el caso para la festividad de hoy. Los #pretzel son una herencia de migrantes de raíz germana que emigraron los Estados Unidos a inicios del siglo XVIII.

Estos migrantes europeos tenían este pan como parte de sus tradiciones desde mucho antes. Se piensa que el origen de los pretzeles se ubica en el siglo VII, cuando un monje en Italia se propuso innovar, y elaboró una recompensa para los niños que aprendían las plegarias. A estos snacks les nombró inspirándose en la palabra “pretiola”, que podría traducirse como ‘pequeñas recompensas’.

En realidad, este origen no lo tengo del todo claro, me faltan mejores referencias. En parte, me parece que esta historia de la creación de la receta de los pretzeles roza un poco las leyendas, pero eso es algo que encuentro aceptable. Hay muchos eventos que marcan puntos de cambio de la historia que luego se adornan con anécdotas y uno llega al punto de no lograr separar lo que es el hecho histórico puro y seco, del colorido maquillaje de la imaginación.

I suppose an example of what I say in the previous paragraph would be the case of the apple and the initial development of Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. In that sense, I have to accept the narrative that I have at hand, to indicate that the origin of today's snack is religious in origin, European in its birth. And its peculiar braided shape has both a utilitarian meaning (to display the pieces of bread, by hanging them on wooden sticks), and a symbolic meaning (representing arms crossed on the chest, to chant prayers).

I'd like to tell you a lot more about what I've learned today about pretzels, but I usually make my log posts about a page long, and I'm already running out of space. Besides, I don't know how much time I have left with electricity. So, I say goodbye now, wishing you that you are well and that we can read again another time.

Supongo que un ejemplo de lo que digo en el párrafo anterior sería el caso de la manzana y el desarrollo inicial de la Ley de Gravitación Universal de Newton. En ese sentido, me toca aceptar la narrativa que tengo a mano, para indicar que el origen del snack de hoy es de raíz religiosa, europeo en su nacimiento. Y su peculiar forma trenzada tiene tanto un sentido utilitario (para exhibir las piezas de pan, al colgarlas en varas de madera), como un sentido simbólico (representando brazos cruzados sobre el pecho, para entonar las plegarias).

Me gustaría contar mucho más que he aprendido hoy sobre los pretzeles, pero suelo hacer que los posts de registro tengan una extensión aproximada de una cuartilla y ya se me acaba el espacio. Además de que no sé cuánto me queda de tiempo con electricidad. Así que, me despido ya, deseándote que tú estés bien y que nos podamos leer de nuevo en otra oportunidad.

What a busy day!
While the news of the electric service suspension doesn't sound great, at least they gave you a chance to prepare.
Hope you were able to get off work early and enjoy the weekend.

Gracias por comentar. A mí también me alegró que por lo menos avisaran de que tendríamos una suspensión de electricidad.

Logré terminar el trabajo y tener todo listo para cuando tocaba el corte.

Que pases un buen fin de semana.

Es una receta bastante sabrosa, no es algo de comida muy popular en este país. Pero aun así se puede encontrar donde los preparan bien.

Is Pretzel found in the stores in Oman? Not sure about it. I am not sure even I have tasted it yet. Most like, I have tasted it somewhere.

It's nice to know about Pretzel Day, Professor :)

I hope that it won't be a long time without the electricity!

Hello, I have eaten this snack through fast food chains of North American origin that had been operating in my country until a few years ago.

In recent years, I haven't eaten them.

The time without electricity was not long, I was glad that on this occasion they had notified us in advance.

Oh boy, now I miss having pretzels. There used to be an Auntie Anne's Pretzel near me. I believe they have closed shop now. 😔 I do wonder if there's another shop where I can get really good pretzels. Thank you for this feature. Happy weekend to you!

How amazing it is that you were all informed earlier of the power outage that would occur. I find that very interesting.

You seemed to have a beautiful day with learning and passing out knowledge on what has been learned. Happy pretzel day, and it is very interesting to know the history behind it and looking at the shape, I am sure convinced.

Thanks for comment.

I found it very pleasant that they notified of the interruption in the electrical service, since unscheduled blackouts are quite a nuisance.

Yes, a big nuisance that has become a normality in my country since its birth. It's very annoying, lol.

Nice to hear that you are notified before the electricity goes off, in my country I have never heard of that.
Great to know about the snacks call pretzel and it's day.

In reality, it is more common to have unforeseen blackouts than to have any warning. That is why I found it very pleasant that they notified of the interruption in the electrical service.
