So my adopted grandma took me to a Cuban restaurant for my birthday. We got to eat authentic food like "yucca," a starchy root like thing that you can mix with your food to make it thicker, it had the consistency of a jelly fish. I also tried "fried plantains;" it's like a mini banana but with a thicker skin and a sour middle. On the meaty side of things, I tried the traditional beef which is called "old clothes" and it was FANTASTIC. The fried chicken was great too! It was really great...so try some Cuban food and get an idea of what I'll be eating!

From Marcy:
The Cuban name for the beef dish is "Ropa Vieja" and it is very yummy. Here is what it looks like:
Go Meghan!
