Is it really so bad?

Question:I have heard that the food in Cuba is not so good. I cannot believe it, What can you say about it?

Answer: Cuban cuisine deteriorated in the early 1990s. The Soviet Union collapsed and Russia withdrew financial support they have given to his socialist-Allied since economic sanctions were imposed, and food shortages were widespread. The country's rich culinary heritage afrokaribiska and Spanish influences became tarnished by rumors of grapefruktbiffar and pizza with melted condoms instead of cheese.

But Cuban cuisine today can be sublime if you know where to look. Ironically, two other consequences of the period in the 1990s, which now offers the best: ' paladares "and" casas particulares ". Private family dining and bed-and-breakfast places.

This is lovingly made food, as opposed to public restaurants where the sometimes bland food is produced. The Foundation is rice and ' congrí ' (black beans). Avocados, squash and root vegetables such as cassava is usually used together with pork or chicken. Fish and seafood, as well as ' cangrejo (crab) or ' langosta (lobster), which is served in an oily garlic sauce is one of the world's best. Cuba is also full of wonderful ice cream shops (the national chain's Coppelia, where Fidel Castro sometimes chose today's taste). Cuban brylé-pudding (' flan ') is divine: a fluffy grädd and äggbakad by-law toppad with crispy caramel.

Cuban food is, however, the diversity that many countries have. Consumers of alcohol has the better here. Rommen on Cuba is known, such as Havana Club, Bacardi, an ingredient in classic cocktails such as mojito and daiquiri.
