Cuban cuisine

Enlightenment at Papi’s Cuban Restaurant Food is a great way to reach people and make them feel sensations they have never felt before. Taste is one of the greatest of the five senses, and the ability to try a different culture’s food and get a glimpse of a new country with out ever leaving your hometown is amazing. Trying another culture’s food for the first time can be a very interesting experience. For instance if someone tries something that is from a Cuban restaurant he or she might enjoy the atmosphere but they might not enjoy the food. For me this was not the case. I enjoyed both the atmosphere and the food. The atmosphere was lively and refreshing, and when I tried the masitas de puerco it was delectable bite after bite. Going to a restaurant that is different from the every day food you eat could also be a very…

Once and for all I am finally here, standing right in front of this coffee-colored building, with my eyes wide open and my body shaking from head to toes. What I am currently witnessing is something out of this world, nothing like what I was expecting, but so much better. Where I come from, the food is amazing, Cuban food, it is certainly one of my favorite and being at the world 's oldest Spanish and Cuban restaurant is unrealistic. Being excited is not my thing, you see, nothing really…

building successful and enduring relations between both countries. Economic development: The economic development in Cuba is a tense situation. This is nothing new, Cubans have experienced power cuts in Havana; which resulted in the use of oil lamps to light their homes. And also they were reduced to walking and/or bicycling miles to work because there was no gasoline. Cuba’s economy has only grown just by one percent in the first six months of the year of 2016. Economic development demonstrates…

El Rapto de las Mulatas, made in 1938, is a painting by Cuban avant-garde artist Carlos Enriquez. It translates to “The Abduction of the Mulatas,” where mulatas are mixed race women in Cuba. The painting portrays a scenario that is described very literally in the title: a pair of mulatas being abducted and raped by two men who seem to be guajiros, Cuban countrymen. There are varying theories pertaining to what exactly the painting really represents, but most of these theories are centered around…

afternoon. The topic of this speech is on the United States should or should not lift the Cuban embargo. This is a very short backstory behind the embargo placed on Cuba. The U.S. placed an trade embargo on Cuba in 1962 and added travel restrictions in 1963. The economic embargo was placed because Cuba had taken oil-refineries which were American owned as their own and Cuba did not give compensation to the U.S. Since then, the U.S. disliked Cuba and mostly Cuba’s leader Fidel Castro who wanted…

Havana, Cuba is the major port, and leading commercial centre of Cuba. The city was burned down by French pirates and mad local slaves, the royal crown responded by building “Castillo de la Fuerza”.

The next year, the English and Spanish governments traded Florida for Havana. The top 10 things you can do or visit on Havana: Old Havana, Plaza de la…

In researching the business culture of another foreign country for the use of an informational memo. I am letting my classmates, know what country has been chosen to research and share some of it's interesting facts on the country of Cuba. How is that country's culture similar to or different from U.S. culture? Despite the fact, of some of the ways Cuban culture can be similar to U.S. culture may be through the average family of the U.S. having 3.19 members, where the Cuban family average has…

“Cuba Libre!” screamed the Cuban-Americans that gathered in the streets of Hialeah the night the man who altered the course of many lives, including mine, died. My grandmother, a Cuban widow, who’d live over 50 years in American and speaks close to no English, experienced the pain of Castro’s regime first-hand. That night, at a fatigue-filled 85 years old, she would take out the Guiro, a Cuban instrument used usually for celebrations like fiestas and Noche Buena, and frantically strum while…

In addition, I have attended a number of lectures and dialogues on race, cultural divides, and diversity that have provided me with the correct terminology to discuss, analyze, and keep up with the demanding nature of the IFP program. The International Field Program is extremely unique: I would take classes with leading Cuban intellectuals, gain an alternative view point on concepts that I gained from the perspective of neoliberalism, and I will share the classes with Cuban students, a rare…

families from Mexico, Bangladesh, and Argentina to state the least. As a Cuban- American, I assimilated with the cultures and thrived during my trips to Cuba. Each trip classified my identify to one I wished to not hold, but soon grew to love. I aspired to connect with the ethnicities around the world in order to not be seen as just a Cuban. However, the accommodation since I was a year old to travel to Cuba yearly allowed me to gain the experience and awareness directed towards my heritage.…
