Now the history of the Venezuelan Hallaca ...

Starting with the name, many documented stories agree that it is a compound of the words ALLÁ AND ACÀ motivated, as I explained in my previous post, it is a product where the cultures of at least 4 continents are mixed in their ingredients. due to the marked social difference between whites (Spanish whites, Creole whites, shore whites), mestizos, blacks and aboriginal natives, were times of colonization and slavery, therefore black and indigenous slaves lived in precarious conditions in terms of housing, clothing and of course food.It then arises from the need for daily sustenance to process food according to the elements that were available to prepare and preserve the food and take a little of everything that came from the tables of the masters, the indigenous neighbors and the slave commune and finally it is possible to amalgamate all those ingredients into a dish in a single one with very original and original characteristics but obviously represented in the races, cultures and social statuses very different.
