Ropa Vieja in Havana




If you're expecting a gastronomic heaven in Cuba - forget it. The US is the best place for Cuban food. After endless Ham and Cheese sandwiches, and pretty bland chicken and pork dishes. It was nice to find a dish in Cuba that is also well known in the US - Ropa Vieja (or old clothes in Spanish) - really tasty shredded beef in sauce.

This particular one was in a Palladar (a dining room in a private house converted into a restaurant) where we were treated to some classic Cuban revolutionary songs by a 92 year old lady.
