One of my American food experiences last month was to have Cuban food, in Louisville, KY. Not as spicy as I had expected, but still very tasty. It was my first taste of yucca, which is a lot like a potato or some other root starch in flavor and texture.
Cuban food is awesome. There’s a Cuban joint here in Austin that makes the best lechon asado I’ve ever had. They pair it with yucca dressed up with olive oil, garlic, onion, & lime. I add in some congris (white rice & black beans) and some fried plantains and I’m set.
