Cuba

Cuban food is also a type of food I love and grew up with so that's why I chose Cuba today!

         Cuban food is a mixture of Spanish, African, and a little bit of Chinese influence. It has a strong similarity to The Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. The min influence is Spain who brought over heir traditions. Since Cuba is an island  the sea food influences the dishes. Also because of it's tropical weather there is a lot of fruit and root veg.

                        Type of Dishes:

• Ropa Vieja
• Boliche
• Yuca Frita
• Tostones
• Cuban Sandwich "Mixto"
