Buen día amigos y amantes del café, es un placer estar aquí para contarles una nueva experiencia con el café y más, cuando celebro tener ya un año en esta plataforma. Muchas tazas me han acompañado y hoy quiero compartirles una pequeña historia, hace pocos días degusté mi acostumbrada taza de la tarde con unos deliciosos churros, un dulce típico español pero muy consumido en Venezuela.
Good morning friends and coffee lovers, it is a pleasure to be here to tell you a new experience with coffee and more, when I celebrate having already one year on this platform. Many cups have accompanied me and today I want to share with you a little story, a few days ago I tasted my usual afternoon cup with some delicious churros, a typical Spanish sweet but very consumed in Venezuela.
Según dicen los conocedores, estos dulces hechos con masa frita y espolvoreados con azúcar, comenzaron a consumirse en Cataluña a principios del siglo XIX, pero se desconoce quién fue su inventor.
According to those in the know, these sweets, made with fried dough and sprinkled with sugar, began to be eaten in Catalonia in the early 19th century, but it is not known who invented them.
De acuerdo con la Asociación de Churreros catalana, su origen es probablemente árabe y se pierde en el tiempo. En cuanto a la diferencia entre churro y porra, la clave está en la masa. Los churros venezolanos son deliciosos y bastante crocantes, se pueden espolvorear con azúcar, una mezcla azúcar y canela, de forma tradicional pero actualmente encontramos versiones con leche condensada, chocolate o arequipe.
According to the Association of Catalan Churreros, its origin is probably Arab and is lost in time. As for the difference between churro and porra, the key is in the dough. Venezuelan churros are delicious and quite crunchy, they can be sprinkled with sugar, a mixture of sugar and cinnamon, in the traditional way but nowadays we find versions with condensed milk, chocolate or arequipe.
Esta delicia, llega a Venezuela producto de la inmigración española y definitivamente, llegaron para quedarse, volviéndose también una tradición en nuestras tierras. Se trata de una masa que se prepara con harina de trigo, agua y un poco de sal, se fríe y se agrega el toque dulce espolvoreando el azúcar.
This delicacy arrived in Venezuela as a result of Spanish immigration and it is definitely here to stay, becoming a tradition in our lands as well. It is a dough that is prepared with wheat flour, water and a little salt, it is fried and the sweet touch is added by sprinkling sugar.
Profundizando en su origen, existe una teoría, según la cual se afirma que fueron traídos a Europa por los portugueses desde China. Para aquella época, entre las nuevas técnicas culinarias que trajeron, se incluye el modificar la masa de youtiao, también conocido como youzagwai en el sur de China.
Going deeper into their origin, there is a theory that they were brought to Europe by the Portuguese from China. At that time, among the new culinary techniques they brought with them was the modification of youtiao dough, also known as youzagwai in southern China.
Tiempo después, aplicaron el diseño de estrella para su elaboración, porque no estudiaron la técnica de ‘tirar’ la masa (el emperador chino había declarado que compartir sabiduría con extranjero fuera crimen capital). Esto, dio como resultado la invesión de un máquina que facilita el trabajo y los exprime con forma de estrella, lo que permite que se cocinen mejor y no sucedan accidentes.
Some time later, they applied the star design for their elaboration, because they did not study the technique of 'throwing' the dough (the Chinese emperor had declared that sharing wisdom with foreigners was a capital crime). This resulted in the invention of a machine that facilitates the work and squeezes them in the shape of a star, which allows them to cook better and avoid accidents.
Hoy, como parte de nuestras tradiciones, los comemos en las tardes con una buena taza de café con leche, un chocolate caliente. En esta oportunidad, los disfruté en compañía de mi pequeño hijo, quien aunque aún no puede comerlos, se ve en las fotografías que de seguro le encantarán. ¿Ustedes, han probado los churros?
Today, as part of our traditions, we eat them in the afternoons with a good cup of coffee with milk or hot chocolate. This time, I enjoyed them in the company of my little son, who although he can't eat them yet, you can see in the pictures that he will surely love them. Have you tried churros?
Hello happy afternoon, I hope you enjoyed a lot of that rich snack, that coffee looks frothy and creamy as it has to be to accompany a sweet dessert like that. Greetings.
I enjoyed it very much, just the way I love coffee. Thanks for reading!!!

Dear @antonietagg, we need your help!
The Hivebuzz proposal already got important support from the community. However, it lost its funding a few days ago and only needs a few more HP to get funded again.
May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work this year?
