Re: Cubas hidden savannah - how disgusting!
Hello SP never heard of Cuban cigars ?Havanas even?
Rolled on the thighs of young virgins etc ?
Not doing too well in this smoking conscious age .
I have been to Cuba it's a lovely place food is awful people lovely .
Any minute now when Rauol Castro kicks the bucket it will revert to capitalism and become a property developers dream .

I just know, maybe my late Father
The point of this thread originally was to alert us to what they do eat in Cuba. But Gummy does love leading us all in different directions. Having said that, I am also bad for doing that.
Tell us about your time there Muddy, please. Just leave out the politics please.

Re: Cubas hidden savannah - how disgusting!
Sorry SP I meant had YOU never heard of Cuban cigars !
Can't really leave politics out as we wanted to see Cuba while Fidel Castro was still alive and we did .
We stayed in Havana which is full of fantastic old buildings mansions that are falling apart and are divided into apartments for the people.
Food is scarce and awful as all their best stuff tended to be exported .
The people are warm and friendly I speak Spanish so had no trouble in communicating although most are highly educated ( Castro saw to that ) and many speak English .
The hotels are pretty basic .
Cubans have some sort of ration system for food .
We went to the former Preseidential palace ( now a museum to the Revolution) to the famous Tropicana club where the dancing is spectacular and to the pub where Ernest Hemingway used to hang out .
There are wonderful old American cars everywhere beautifully preserved .
It's a great place to visit .

What a lovely and informative post. I really should raise my old thread about places we have visited or lived. As your post would have a worthy place on that. Especially as I would love to hear more.
