I am researching Dominican Sancocho for a class, and I am in need of help. Does anyone know anything about the history of the dish? or why it is part of the cultural identity? I know how it is made, and that it is the national dish, but I need more information. Thanks for the help.

I think I saw his picture in the Vatican or a Byzantine church somewhere. The saintly figure was kneeling in front of a kettle or pot, and behind him a gruesome looking Centurion holding a machete, right above his head, in a downward motion gesture of decapitation. An inscription in greek letters wrote: "San Cocho, el santo m?s sabroso"
