Food in Cuba
Cuban cuisine is as vibrant and varied as the array of cultures that contributed to the development of this distinct and delicious cuisine. In addition to the ancient influence of the native peoples of Cuba, the Spaniards brought their own culinary styles, marked by those of the Moors who held huge parts of Spain for centuries. The slaves that were brought from Africa made significant culinary and cultural contributions. The French colonists fleeing uprisings in Haiti brought their own culinary practices to the island, as well.
