Meaning of al pan, pan y al vino, vino




furoya

al pan, pan y al vino, vino
  17

The expression "to call bread, bread and wine, wine" means "to call things by their name, without detours or unnecessary explanations." It does not have a clear origin, but there are apocryphal anecdotes that relate it to the Catholic liturgy, where the consecrated bread and wine represent the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, and naming them would give greater weight to the assertion.
