Muchos creen que el pan de jamón se ha comido toda la vida en Venezuela y no es así. Es más, aunque les duela a algunos, Bolívar no comió pan de jamón. No pudo hacerlo porque en su época simplemente no existía. Es una creación de comienzos del Siglo XX que poco a poco se fue transformando en una costumbre navideña hasta hacerse imprescindible cada diciembre. Por Miro Popic. Texto Completo -> ElVenezolano
Courtesy translation -> Many believe that “pan de jamón”(ham bread) has been eaten all its life in Venezuela and it is not like that. Furthermore, although it hurts some, Bolívar did not eat it. He couldn’t do it because at his time it just didn’t exist. It is a creation from the beginning of the 20th century that little by little was transformed into a Christmas custom until it became essential every December.
