Abstract
The present work focuses on the published historical press, especially from the second half of the 19th century. When accessing the Digital Newspaper Library of the National Library of Spain (which provides public access to the digital collection of historical press in Spanish), we consulted, in particular, the presence of two terms: mantecado and polvorón. These are traditional sweets originally produced in Estepa (Seville), documented in opinion articles, signed by illustrious gourmets such as Mariano Pardo de Figueroa (Doctor Thebus-sem), in various advertisements and even in Christmas-themed stories. After a review of newspapers and periodicals, this study intends to determine whether mantecado and pol-vorón are also found in other sources of the period and whether they were incorporated into the lexicographical tradition of Spanish throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. In short, it aims to contribute to the history of the lexicon of our language and, more specifically, to the speciality lexicon of the culinary field.
