What I found was no Castro Cuba has anything like our beloved Florida Cuban sandwiches. They have no idea what you're talking about. They may have chicken, beans and rice. Surprisingly, I did not care for their rum, but did enjoy the beer.

One of my former co-workers was from Cuba. He rowed a boat with his wife and a blind neighbor to freedom and became a US citizen. Nice guy.
He said t earn money he looked for seashells to sell to tourists, and they could make a fake cigar that looked just like a real cigar, but mostly made of other leaves. He could hustle a tourist with a "Cuban cigar for 50 cents" and then leave in a hurry before they lit it and started cussing. That was enough money for him to eat for a week.
