I would have thought there would be a lot of fish to choose from - I hope
this doesn't mean their fisheries are screwed up. Or else refrigeration is
too expensive?
If any of you go through Miami, stop at a Pollo Tropical restaurant. They
grill chicken and pork in a few styles, and for fast food, it's great. Plus
they have a whole different set of side dishes, not your usual burger fare -
yuca chips that are as much fun as french fries, sweet plaitains, and the
black beans and rice called "moros" (for Moros y Christianos, Moors and
Christians). It's not peppery fare by itself, but it definitely takes a
sauce well.
I wonder what kids of cheeses they had. Were there pushcart street vendors,
or did you have to go to dollar restaurants?
