Breaking: The Food Is Better In Miami Than Havana
We had to chuckle a bit when we read that Nina and Tim Zagat visited Cuba recently hoping for good food. They obviously underestimated the toll that communism has taken on the country's cuisine:
And what about the food? We expected to find exciting Cuban cuisine with dishes we've never had before. We didn't. What we ate pretty much boiled down to rice and beans and pork and chicken, with salad being "too risky."They conclude, not surprisingly, that the Cuban food they've had in New York and Miami is far better. The upside to the food letdown: never-ending mojitos, which can wash away the disappointment of a bad meal.
