There’s nothing quite like coming home and having mami fix you up a few saltine crackers smothered with cream cheese and topped by a slide of guava paste.
“Azucar!", “La Negra Tiene Tumbao”, “La Vida Es Un Carnaval” and more were regular Sunday stapes in your house. The Beatles are great, sure, but there’s no one like La Reina.
What do you mean you don’t call your loved ones “fattie” as a term of endearment? This isn’t just a Taco Bell treat but just what we call the women in our lives. Whether they like it or not.
We don’t need a 5-hour energy drink, redbull or a tall caramel macchiato to start the morning. Instead, we opt for the magical cortadito, the Cuban espresso topped by steamed milk. Delicioso!
We talk loudly. Not just when we’re anxious or excited or in a fight, but fairly constantly. Cubans generally have two decibel levels: loud and louder. And we’re proud of it!
Look, our abuelito smoked cigars every day of his life and he grew to be 100 years old, okay? Cigarettes are disgusting but a Cuban cigarro is no big deal at all.
While we admit that turkey is pretty delicious, no holiday meal is complete without making a lechon in La Caja China. It’s the perfect way to roast your pig and we just can’t help ourselves.
We grew up in a house where mami wouldn’t let us close the door, so bursting in at any time of the day was perfectly acceptable. Can we help it if we repeat the same actions?
Going to the movies with a Cuban? Probably a bad idea. If it’s a movie we’ve seen, we’ll spend the entire time talking about what’s happening next. What spoilers?
You might have grown up drinking regular old Pepsi or Coke but we grew up drinking Cuban sodas like Materva (a mate-based soft drink) and Jupiña (a sweet pineapple drink).
Culturally difference is always a learning tool.
