[ENG/SPA] Comfort Food: Business opportunity and Resilience / Comfort Food: Oportunidad de negocio y Resiliencia
Hola queridos amigos de HIVE y ProjectHOPE, deseo se encuentren bien.
Today I share a theme that I hope you will like, and that will bring back beautiful memories.
Hoy comparto un tema que espero sea de su agrado y, les traiga hermosos recuerdos.
One of the primary functions of food intake is to satisfy the body's nutritional needs.
However, there are also other more pleasurable reasons for eating, which represent a way of pampering or spoiling ourselves, by giving sentimental value to food, for the pleasant and comforting memories they offer.
Sin embargo, también hay otras razones más placenteras para comer, que representan una forma de consentirnos o mimarnos, al darle valor sentimental a la comida, por los agradables y reconfortantes recuerdos que ofrecen.
And what is this type of food, with such special characteristics?, It is known as comfort food.
What is comfort food?
¿Qué es la comida reconfortante?
This term emerged in 1966 for foods related to our emotions and moods, which awaken the emotional and sensory memory associated with the well-being of being at home or in the family.
Este término surgió en 1966 para las comidas relacionadas con las emociones y estados de ánimos, que despierta la memoria emotiva y sensorial, asociada con el bienestar de estar en el hogar o en familia.
Comfort Food is very varied depending on cultural, personal and generational factors, usually associated with carbohydrates and desserts, even though it has a wide range of options.
Las comidas reconfortantes son muy variadas, dependen de factores culturales, personales y generacionales, por lo general asociados con carbohidratos y postres, con un amplio abanico de opciones.
One of the most outstanding characteristics of this type of food is the full enjoyment of the meal, activated by the affective remembrance that rejoices the diner and the one who prepares it (cook).
Rice with Chicken // Arroz con Pollo
An popular example of Venezuelan comfort food , my native country, used to improve symptoms of colds, general malaise, homesickness or sadness is the popular "sancocho", a soup made with ossobuco or beef ribs and free-range chicken, vegetables and fresh natural spices. The result makes you sigh with satisfaction, or simply exclaim: divine, great!
Un ejemplo popular de comida reconfortante venezolana, mi país natal, utilizada para mejorar síntomas de refriado, malestar general, nostalgia, tristeza entre otros es el popular "sancocho", una sopa elaborada con osobuco o costillas de res y pollo de granja, vegetales y especies naturales frescas. El resultado hace suspirar de satisfacción, o exclamar simplemente: divino, grandioso!
Sancocho
In this sense, my mother (RIP) is the genuine example that I associate with comfort food, she used to say "food is a way to love and pamper the family by preparing traditional recipes", which she did with much dedication, care and love. We have enjoyed it for a long time and it has been transmitted to several generations, especially by my sisters Josefina and Janett.
En este sentido, mi madre (QEPD) es el ejemplo más genuino que asocio a la comida reconfortante, solía decir “la comida es una forma de amar y consentir a la familia preparando las recetas tradicionales”, lo que realizaba con mucha dedicación, cuidado y amor. Lo disfrutamos mucho tiempo y ha sido transmitido a varias generaciones, especialmente por mis hermanas Josefina y Janett.
New business opportunity and resilience
Nueva oportunidad de negocio y resiliencia
Currently, with the carousel of emotions due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the desire for comfort food has increased, so business opportunities may arise for those who enjoy the rescue of gastronomic traditions, as an option to be resilient.
Actualmente, con el carrusel de emociones por la pandemia de Covid 19, se ha incrementado el deseo por la comida reconfortante, surgiendo oportunidades de negocios para quienes disfrutan de las tradiciones gastronómicas, como una opción para ser resilientes.
This is the case of my sister Janett, heir to the passion for the preparation of delicious meals and the recipe notebook of our mother, whom the grandson and greatgrandson called Tata .
Este es el caso de mi hermana Janett heredera de la pasión por la preparación de deliciosas comidas y del cuaderno de recetas de nuestra mamá, quienes los nietos y biniestos llamaban Tata .
She started her entrepreneurship of food by order with the name "Rincón de Tata" inspired by the pleasure and emotion of the family gastronomic tradition, as well as the satisfaction of sharing the joy of customers, mainly fellow countrymen, who request the products as a way to pamper themselves and feel better or to flatter family and friends, with a delicious typical homemade food, with a taste of home.
Inició su emprendimiento de comida por pedidos con el nombre "Rincón de Tata" , inspirada en el placer y emoción de la tradición gastronómica familiar, así como también la satisfacción de compartir la alegría de los clientes, principalmente coterráneos, quienes solicitan los productos como una forma de mimarse y sentirme mejor o halagar a familiares y amigos, con una deliciosa comida típica hecha en casa, con sabor a hogar.
Quesillo
It is necessary to highlight other fundamental ingredients of "Rincón de Tata" work, patience, dedication, perseverance, continuous improvement and management in times.
Aprovecho la oportunidad para agradecer a los valientes emprendedores, ejemplo de resiliencia, por el trabajo que realizan con entusiasmo y constancia, en este periodo tan complejo.
Success and happiness to all of them!
¡Éxitos y alegrías a todos!

Hi dear @raizayanez
Excellent topic that you focus on at times when resilience is one of the main keys to dealing with the situation we live in as a result of the pandemic.
Comfort food is a wonderful option to offer migrant foreigners the opportunity to enjoy their traditional dishes outside their country.
Thank you sister for the mention, excellent publication, thank you for sharing.
Have a great day!
Regards.
Hello dear @janettyanez, in this post I develop the topic of what comfort food is, and how it can be a good business opportunity for those who enjoy cooking traditional recipes and can reinvent themselves with additional income in this period of pandemic. Many Venezuelans are doing it, outside their country.
Thanks for your comment.
Success, joys and blessings.
Greetings

Hi @raizayanez
"food is a way to love and pamper the family by preparing traditional recipes", that's what your mom used to say is a totally valid expression, since there is no better way than enjoying in family tasting a delicious meal. Thank you for this wonderful post.
Best regards, be well.
Thank you dear friend@lupafilotaxia, sharing and remembering that food that makes us feel good and comforted helps us to recharge and move forward with enthusiasm.
Cheers
Greetings @raizayanez, I like your publication because I love to cook and when I do it I transmit to my family the love I feel for them, as you mention there is always that recipe of our mother that marked our palate and our lives. Definitely as you indicate the Venezuelan sancocho is the best, because it is not only tasty but additionally helps to recover energy, to pass a discomfort or remember a pleasant moment lived.
Thanks for your post.
Hello friend @carlir, I'm happy to share the pleasure of cooking and you prefer the Venezuelan sancocho, it is one of the comfort foods that I like the most, very hot, accompanied with casabe, delicious!
It is one of the recipes that I remember most from sharing with my family, and from my Venezuelan roots, always present.
Thank you for your comment.
Regards

Comfort food brings us pleasant family memories, and also an opportunity to be resilient by preparing it as a business, an option used by many Venezuelans.
Greetings, success and blessings
