When we went to California a couple years ago for my niece's wedding I
asked her about a Cuban restaurant in the city. She said that it was
very authentic... they even spoke Cuban. I said that I know a little
Spanish... would that help? She didn't think so because they spoke
Cuban. Her mother has a hard time keeping a straight face. Maybe living
in California has done that to her because she grew up in southern Ontario.
