Thanks for the link. Shocking to see how real Cubans live, or subsist is a better word. We've been joking for some time about the Potemkin Cuba that makes TV here in the US. I was truly shocked then to see FoodTV's 'special' on Hemingway's Cuba presented by Mariel Hemingway. Gee, what a lovely...bit of propaganda. It should be so nice for all, isn't that the commie way?

I watched that piece of !@#% on Sat. night. The Food network should be ashamed. All that food, and the locals ge what- A few ounces of rice & beans?

Bon appetit Mariel Hemingway! Buffet at the Bucanero Hotel. No Cubans allowed. No ration books allowed.

Real Cuban typical kitchen:

I also saw the Food Network show and was disgusted. My parents who came from Cuba in 1959 had to get up and leave. I called the Food Network and also e-mailed them. Also called a few of the companies that ran commercials during the show. I think they should know where their advertising dollars are going. The host
actually had the nerve to blame the U.S. for Cuba's "tough economic times"
