CUBA: The worst food I've ever had so far

in #foodphotography7 years ago (edited)

One of the best things about traveling around the world is testing new foods and beverages. I'm always determined to try it all (okey almost all :D ). So I ate fried grasshoppers, skinned frogs, dried shark and many others "specialities". ;)

I really fell in love with some Caribbean dishes from many country of this region. However, I´m sorry that I have to say that the worst food I've ever had was in Cuba!

The best thing about this hamburger was the view of the architectural beauty in the background.
(Btw. It is Gran Teatro de La Habana, home to the Cuban National Ballet. Its facilities include theatres, a concert hall, gallery as well.)

This is my entry for today´s #foodphotography contest organized by @juliank and @photocontest.

Let´s have some "pizza parody" !
After all day strolling the streets we were so hungry and pizza seemed to be a good idea. But not in Cuba! It was awful, but my mom always told me to never waste my food so I put off all of the supposed "salami" and ate it.
Maybe you are wondering what are the green things... well, these are cucumber peels - a cool decoration huh?:D

And finally Main course - street meal in box.
It consisted of rice, beans, fried chicken and banana chips. It was not so bad BUT the main problem was how you want to eat it? So my boyfriend, smart European boy, made a spoon from the paper box for me ;)

This is us queuing for fresh bread (just one kind and we were happy that it left for us at all).

Not to be only complaining though, I must say the beer was extremely good and cold ;)
But its not Cuban beer it´s Dutch I think haha.

To be honest, we are budget travelers, we stayed in Casa Particular and Airbnb, we wanted to enjoy real Cuba and this the experience we got.

Where did you have your the worst food or beverages, my Steemit friends? Let me know in the comments :)

Stay awesome and Steem on!

Ahoj česko-slovenská steemit crew! Vidím, že nás tu je stále viac a viac, čo ma teší :)
Takže len stručne k môjmu postu, kde som opisovala skúsenosti s jedlom z Kuby, aby som to zhrnula na Kube si dajte radšej pivo ako pizzu :) A pamätáte si ako nám rodičia často hovorili, že čakali radu na pomaranče a iné veci? Tak aj my sme sa vrátili v čase a pekne sme si vystáli frontu na bagety, mlieko sme po meste zháňali 2 dni ;)

A čo vy, kde ste ochutnali jedlo, alebo nápoj, ktoré vám nechutilo? Podeľte sa v komentároch :)

Vďaka a majte krásny pondelok :)

Sort:  

A good beer that is Dutch, no way! Impossible. If it's good, must Belgian, German, Czech or American, but definitely not Dutch. They only make horsepee for beer.

I prefer our homemade wine from the vineyard. It´s the best for me:) Cheers @pele23

Homemade wine can never be a bad idea! :-)

We have a cultivar of red wine, we call it Francovka ;) Cheers and smile @pele12 ;)

No, já jsem v jídle strašný vybíravec, takže bych na Kubě asi umřela hlady :D Nejhorší jídla byla na školních výletech :D Ale jinak většinou jsem měla štěstí. Zatím jsem nenavštívila moc zemí, ale tam, kde jsem byla - Řecko, Anglie, Chorvatsko atd.... měli zatím dobré jídlo :) Nebo jsem možná vzpomínku na to špatné vytěsnila :D

Ja mám na šk. výlety tie naj spomienky, to bolo vždy: 1 mandarinka, horalka, fruko a rohlik s pašteku :)
Ale pozor! kto to má novú parádnu profilovku s Remýčkem;) Fešák!
Vďaka za komentár a pekný deň :) @sili

To jsi šťastná žena, nebo jsi spíše byla šťastné dítě :) Já měla hodně dobrého jídla nabaleného z domu, abych tam právě nemusela jíst ty obědové hnusy (tlusté maso a buchtičky s krémem - ne dohromady samozřejmě, ale oboje je pro mě bleee).
Remýk děkuje :) A já taky :)
Taky přeji pěkný den :)

Na pizzu jsou holt machři Italové, nikoliv Kubánci. Osobně jsem jednou ochutnal děsivá drůbeží játra zavánějící rybinou, hrůza v jedné restauraci. Nebo si vzpomínám na smažený sýr, jak by řekla babička, byl jako po Němcích :-) a k němu hranolky z doby kamenný, hnus.
Ale naštěstí chutných a vynikajících jídel bylo mnohem více ;-)

"Smažák po Nemcoch" babička to zabila! :D ja si spomínam ako mi raz v Opave dali plesnivú Marlenku, od vtedy som žiadnu inú nemala ;) heh @jjprac

Nedivím se. To pak ti snadno to jídlo zoškliví, i když je jinak dobré.

I agree. Cuba is terrible. Although it was mango season when I went so that saved me.

Unfortunately, we were not there during the mango season, they only had bananas.
But my body thanked me for Cuban detox :D @choogirl

Lol. I actually thought the fresh fruit was quite good. You just had to get out the tourist streets to find the local vendors selling it.

But yeah, pretty much everything in tourist restaurants was terrible.

Yes, that´s true, fortunately Cuba is not only about food ;)
Have a nice day and smile @choogirl

Numy numy... hlavne to kure vypada vábně :-D
