El origen de la arepa: ¿es colombiana o venezolana? (Y por qué esto es lo que menos importa)

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:24:33 GMT

(CNN Español) — Ni colombianas ni venezolanas. Las arepas son americanas.La discusión que por tanto tiempo ha enfrentado a colombianos y venezolanos sobre el origen de las arepas, uno de sus más adorados y tradicionales platillos, para algunos expertos puede considerarse innecesaria, incluso insulsa, teniendo en cuenta la importancia de este manjar en la cultura gastronómica de ambos países desde el periodo prehispánico hasta la actualidad.Si se quisiera rastrear un origen, es preciso primero identificar que las arepas están hechas de maíz, una planta indígena oriunda “de la América tropical”, según la Real Academia Española, y que es la base alimentaria del continente prehispánico, comparable al trigo en Europa y al arroz en Asia.Y si se quiere tener un significado detallado de la palabra, la etimología de arepa nos lleva a los indígenas cumanagotos que decían “erepa” para nombrar el maíz y que posteriormente derivó en “arepa”, según escrib...

No. 10 Notre Dame’s game at NC State resumes in 2nd quarter after lengthy weather delay

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:24:33 GMT

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Saturday’s game between No. 10 Notre Dame and North Carolina State has resumed after a 1-hour, 45-minute delay due to weather concerns.The Fighting Irish led 3-0 with 14:45 left in the quarter when officials informed fans that the game would be suspended. The stadium’s new videoboard — part of a $15 million upgrade — cited lightning within 8 miles (13 kilometers) of Carter-Finley Stadium.Heavy storms hit the Raleigh area in the morning, and ominous clouds lingered about two hours before kickoff. Those appeared to break in the first quarter before returning and leading to the game’s pause shortly before 1 p.m.During the storm stoppage, numerous panels on the videoboard shorted out briefly amid a lightning strike nearby. But the videoboard was mostly up and running — minus a section of still-dark panels — as fans reentered the stadium and the teams retook the field for a 10-minute warmup. ___AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/college-football ...

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Christopher Bell won the pole for the NASCAR Cup Series playoff race at Kansas Speedway on Sunday, putting himself in good position to wiggle off the playoff bubble and make next week’s cut-off a little less stressful.Bell was the only driver among the 10 in the final round of qualifying to go over 180 mph, turning a lap of 180.276 for a comfortable margin over Kyle Larson, who locked up his place in the next round of the playoffs with a win last week at Darlington.“That was a lot of fun,” said Bell, who rode the preferred high line along the wall at Kansas to his second straight pole and fourth of the season. “Qualifying here is very intense. That’s certainly all we had.”Bell followed his pole run at Darlington with a mistake during the race and finished 23rd. That left him just one point ahead of Bubba Wallace for 12th place in points with next week’s race at Bristol the cut-off for the top 12 drivers to advance.“There’s a handful o...

Donaldson shines as Australia ends losing run at Georgia’s expense in Rugby World Cup

PARIS (AP) — Ben Donaldson justified his surprise selection at fullback with two tries and 25 points as Australia earned its first win this year 35-15 against Georgia at the Rugby World Cup on Saturday.Donaldson also had the kicking duties in his first test start at fullback on only his fourth test appearance and made six of his seven kicks.The Wallabies’ losing run attracted doubts before a tough Pool C match with the Lelos, but four tries at a sweltering Stade de France would have taken some heat off coach Eddie Jones. He would be unhappy, however, that Georgia scored a try while playing with 14 men.Georgia out away the boot at halftime and found holes in the Wallabies defense in the second half but could score only two tries while bombing at least three more.The turning point came after nearly an hour when Georgia fullback Davit Niniashvili broke through but ignored three teammates on his inside and took the tackle. His offload went to Australia prop Taniela Tupou, who show...

By SAM METZ and MOSA’AB ELSHAMY (Associated Press)MARRAKECH, Morocco (AP) — A rare, powerful earthquake struck Morocco, sending people racing from their beds into the streets and toppling buildings in mountainous villages and ancient cities not built to withstand such force. More than 1,300 people were killed, and the toll was expected to rise as rescuers struggled Saturday to reach hard-hit remote areas.The magnitude-6.8 quake, the biggest to hit the North African country in 120 years, sent people fleeing their homes in terror and disbelief late Friday. One man said dishes and wall hangings began raining down, and people were knocked off their feet. The quake brought down walls made from stone and masonry, covering whole communities with rubble. The devastation gripped each town along the High Atlas’ steep and winding switchbacks in similar ways: homes folding in on themselves and mothers and fathers crying as boys and helmet-clad police carried the dead through t...
