Hita
The lawsuit is old and the contestants too. Duelists are professionals, although sometimes commit excesses. Their clashes have rule recurrence. As advised war, it fell only stunned and simpletons. They millennia in the fray. Sometimes incur any traps, but the referees are fighting a blind eye and declared licit or more skilled naughty tricks. It is said that monks concocted clever rogues and fine arguments to circumvent injunctions. Thus, posing the lapa amphibian and fish to the spit, not to mention turtles and capybaras, as cherished by the Christian de estos pagos. Lo que se barruntaban es cierto: hablo del conocido pugilato entre pitanzas y abstinencias.
Esa antigua batalla tiene prosapia. Un famoso poema narró con donaire medieval lo que aconteció a partir de una carta fechada en Castro Urdiales, tierra del poeta Lorenzo Oliván y donde los amigos Joaquín Marta Sosa y Tosca Hernández tienen su morada cuando van a España. Me refiero, por supuesto, al delicioso Libro del Buen Amor , de Juan Ruiz, el Archipreste de Hita. Los bandos en pugna esa vez hicieron gala de sus mejores armas y soldados. Huestes de la tierra, en un caso (Don Carnal) y tropas acuáticas en el otro (Doña Cuaresma) fought battle. I will not remember who they were, but to share with you a fun recreation of this contest Venezuela due to the charming prose of Luis Beltrán Guerrero, a writer not widely cited in this forgetful time, but we return from time to time to stop the erosion of our literary taste. After accounting for the army of Don Carnal succulent, the author of Candideces reviews Doña Cuaresma militias. The upshot of this inspection is an approach to geography ichthyology of Venezuela. Let's see:
" With sardines, came from La Guaira: grouper, who rushed to his old rival, the ram, the mako, always willing to sacrifice for the stew or pickled, the snapper, a friend of the oven and sauces, the barracuda, and a crowd of mackerel, anchovies or caniguanas. Impressive was the host of the Margarita Island: red mouths, jacks, rays, stingrays, lampara, atoritos, frogs, sea bass, mullet. Commanded that company locusts Los Roques.
In Paraguaná came Zabalo and Araya, mullet. Both used their eggs as projectiles. Do not miss the appointment, according to Guerrero, the fish of the Orinoco: curbinata, pompano, morocotos, coporo and zapoaras (I had added the lau-lau, to supplement the forces). The poet also refers to the presence Lara Zulia: the branches, the curbina and sole with all their names: San Pedro Bait, Sun, Upside Down. Zulia also reached the lid of bocachicos and armadillos, as from Cumana crowded into a mere detachment, "cradle calling itself" mackerel, corocoros, the Cataca, tuna, or catalucios Catalan parrots, clams, the tajalíes and sunfish, as well as crabs and "chest, protruding in stature to the armadillo, vengeful attitude of waiting, like I wanted to be stuffed with meat Don Carnal. " And still the cast, because of the Andes appeared flying the Panches and ancistrus chagresi and, of course, trout Merida, "not less patriotic immigrant angry." Plain, the Caribbean, small catfish, "which they said bravitos" boquimíes, peacocks, striped catfish, gilded and masses of cachamas the west side and portugueseñas Barinas. Apart from "the countless guabinas Valencia del Rey, Luis Beltrán Guerrero, carotene in the end, includes a" commoner but courageous anonymous host "your Morere (read "Unknown soldiers"). The relationship ends with the rear "and freshwater Terecay of Apure and Orinoco turtles on the island its name, address Caicos tortoises of fresh ice, ice that is honey, and serves its own sauce."
This year will resume the war in Guerrero, but we still have time to gloat over pork loin and tasty "for chanfaina offal." Take advantage before hostilities begin.
