ethnic night--cuban style...

March 28th
Another great Ethnic Food Club meeting!
Menu:
Appetizer:


  • Tostones (fried green plantains with YUMMY toppings and cheese)...DELICIOUS!



  • Fried Yuka (a root vegetable)....FABULOUS!





Main Course:



  • Arroz con Pollo---cuban flavored chicken with yellow rice....the BEST of the night!




  • Moros--black beans and rice mixture (served as a side)...PHENOMENAL!



  • Lechon Asado--marinated pork---not too bad

  • Havana Sandwich a La Locura (with fried plantains)--pretty good.




  • Vaca Frita--(fried cow) beef in moros....good, but dry.





(Side note: It is against the law in Cuba to have beef in your fridgerator or in your home. It is a delicacy there and is only given to the tourists....crazy!)






Dessert:



  • Flan



  • Tres Leches Cake---changed my life! So good!!




  • Guanabana milkshake--different



  • Mamey milkshake--think you had to have been raised on it!! :)



You've gotta love Cuban decor!!





Oh, how I love Ethnic Food Night!! :)
