This is so great. And you know what, Jewbanasos really do exist! :) My Jewish family escaped from Poland to Cuba, set up shop, became full Cubanaso Jews over the decades (!), then moved to Miami and New York. Seriously, you would not be able to tell the dif between them and some Marielitos walking on the street in Miami, or, more likely, playing dominoes. :) Your Jewbanaso hombre is just joining el club!

And, in case it needs to be said AGAIN, we are all drooling now, thanks. :)

Ayeee mija who can deny the sabor of a tostón – puro goodness!

So glad he was able to taste an authentic tostón. My own gringitos may not eat all Spanish food but they will never pass on these, with some mojo for added sabor.

Just thinking of it makes my mouth water!

I never knew the way to a man’s heart was through a Tostón..go figure!
But, then again, I don´t think I´ve ever had one as delicious as you describe. Se me hizo agua la boca leyendo esto..and I had a smile on my face the whole time.

Wow! I think I’m celosa. I love that he is embracing your culture and in turn…you! And if he can roll his Rs, then he’s definitely a keeper. ;)

Gracias, Marta and Yoli! I’ve had so much fun “rediscovering” Cuban food and culture through his eyes.

Abrazos!

Marrrria =D,

I thoroughly love this story. I like this guy already. Not just because he loves tostones, but because he loves you AND Cuban food. I vote he’s totally a keeper.

Besos,
Marta
