Cuisine

As a part of its culture, Cuba's cuisine reflects its characteristics via ingredients, cooking methods and so on. Spanish, African, Caribbean, and, to a lesser extent, Chinese cuisines all have an impact on traditional Cuban cuisine. For a traditional feast, pork is the preferred meat, and it is typically served with rice and beans. There are many different sorts of dishes that employ black beans.

Black beans and rice are combined to make arroz congri. In Cuban cooking, common vegetables include tomatoes, cassava, lettuce, etc. The non-vegetarian recipes are made with chicken, beef, pork, and eggs. However, due to the dire economic situation currently prevailing in Cuba, a sizable portion of the populace cannot afford to eat lavishly and frequently relies on food rations. Although Cuban coffee is well-known across the world, the majority of it is exported while the majority of Cubans' coffee is imported from Africa.
