Well, good question.
I have all the stuff for Cubans, have a hankering for them, and figured Cinco de Mayo was a good excuse to make them! Guess I forcefit the occasion to the hankering - the nationalities never occurred to me. Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing re: this holiday. (Hope I didn't offend anyone.) I'll probably make some salsa with tortilla chips, and give some fried plantains a try. Thanks for the suggestions! Lee |

Cinco de Mayo seems like a good time to have Cuban sandwiches. Actually, any time seems like a good time to have Cuban sandwiches.

I was just looking through my recipe "collection," & this looks festive. Perhaps you could add some sliced avocados to the mix, & serve with Sangria on the side.
 See what you think.Gazpacho Granita with Vegetable Salad Gazpacho Granita And... Tortilla Espanola (spanish omlette w potatoes), sliced like a pie - or smaller bites on party picks, as an appetizer. (Scroll down to see last pic.) Spanish Tortilla

Update:
Here are pictures of my Cuban sandwich and fried plantains. I was delighted with the meal! More cheese is better, in the Cubans, BTW. For the plaintains, I just went with slicing them on a mandolin and frying them in oil in a pan, forsaking the smashing and double-frying techniques. LOVED them! Very much like hash browns, french fries, potato chips, depending on how thick each slice was and how long it was left in the oil. Lee   |
