Transcript of “Del Año Del Caldo: As Old As Broth”
In Spanish, if you want to describe something that is super old, you can say it’s del año del caldo.
Now, literally, caldo is broth, and so it means from the year of the broth.
And the idea is that it’s so old that it goes back to the year broth was invented.
Isn’t that wonderful?
Yeah, that’s very good.
And I was also thinking, I was just wondering, like, the idea of broth that is always on the stove.
You’re always adding water and little scraps of leftovers to it.
Oh, so it’s been there all that time.
Yeah, so you might talk about somebody wearing unos pantalones del año del caldo.
Oh, wonderful.
That’s the number you call to share your proverbs and sayings from wherever you are in the world.
