During the hours I will spend in Havana I want to visit local restaurants and meet Cuban chefs, so that when the cruise ship returns in the future I can show our clients this country\u2019s culinary traditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Karles, who currently resides in Latvia, food is an important part of culture. He affirms that he has spent some time studying Cuban food, which he considers \u201cvery rich and different to that of the U.S.\u201d and to demonstrate it he mentions dishes like \u201cropa vieja\u201d (jerky with a tomato sauce), \u201carroz moros y cristianos\u201d rice cooked with black beans, \u201cvaca frita\u201d (friend jerky) and the very Cuban croquettes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince I already studied it now I\u2019m waiting to be able to try it out,\u201d he says smiling. \u201cI have several recommendations about eating places to visit today so I believe I\u2019m going to gain weight during these hours in Havana.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_88595\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88595\" style=\"width: 755px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Oceania-Cruises-Fotos-Claudio-Pelaez-Sordo-_13-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-88595\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Oceania-Cruises-Fotos-Claudio-Pelaez-Sordo-_13-1.jpg\" alt=\"Karles with his wife, enthusiastic about getting to know more about Cuban food.
