Venezuela.  OED's 1939 date is about 100 years off.

   But there is another dish; and of this you must take the testimony of an
enemy, for I detest it.  It is called cancocho, and is the staple of both
meals, and with the peasantry generally the only dish except roasted plantains.
For this dish, take any quantity of tasajo (that which did not spoil in drying
is best), with or without bones, fat or lean; put it in an earthen
pot--_olla_--with a pailful or less of water; add shreds of green plantain, and, if you
have them, pieces of squash and yuca-root (manihot utissima).  Potatoes,
turnips, carrots, parsnips, onions, and beets would be admissible, but the first can
not grow here, and the others are universally neglected.  Sweet
potatoes--batatas--inferior to ours, so that I doubt their identity, are sometimes added,
and tomatoes.  This mixture is then boiled.

   The one at which we stopped after daylight to cook _sancocho_ to last us
through the day, was in fine order.
