| - I have never been, nor have I any desire to go to Cuba. The travel posters make it look like a vibrant, exciting place with too many good looking people. Not my idea of a good time.
However, I have to see say I am thrilled to bits with Cuban food. All the personality and vigour of the nation itself, but with meat. That's why I was very interested when I was walking by La Cubana today and thought I'd give it a shot.
Usually the best item is at the top of the list, so I ordered a 'Pressed Cubano' to go. It's a delightfully toasty crunchy sandwich with pork, ham (not the same thing? Who knew!), Gruyere, pickles, red onion, mustard and mayo. Lots of messy ingredients, but damn if they don't hold together and make your day a little better.
Sometimes I have trouble paying $10 for a sandwich, but baby, this is a $10 sandwich.
