before, it has a completely different feel from the metropolitan vibes you get from Havana when coming here.

Its

countryside

and land gave rise to much of our culture, unlike the more temperate west coast of Cuba, ideal for growing up. tobacco and coffee Puerto Rican is bringing the tropical heat cocoa is not used for chocolates but is used as an ingredient to season other tastier

dishes

I did it; no, this way, so brush up on your 8th grade Spanish because this episode is about to test it, maybe it's my first time here. in Cuba trying a local beer or better yet is Isaac's country life where Zorro shouldn't or will he help my friend get hurt dancing yesterday the only way to get him here through these types of rocky roads is an uneven path in the which was putting a horse on the way to borrow a KOA ro and I are making a stop to visit a man named acyl a farmer a community leader a worker to get home you can take the arduous journey through rocks and mud and water on foot or you can go in style tell me how long you and your family have been here in 53 years of life is happening is sugar cane your specialty here these facilities is more like agriculture because cocoa is like the biggest

food

in the world In this area, Cuba used to be a sugar cane habit, once the world's largest exporter until trade with the US stopped.

Then subsidies from the Soviet Union stopped coming in the early 1990s. 90, sugar prices plummeted; However, Asil still continues a small operation here on this farm. In other places there are more sugar cane factories but here where they have a trapeze, this traffic is from friends but in reality the sugar mill in Genoa was introduced by the Spanish to clean it and it was a way of generating whey from sugar cane and they use it. that for the cocoa for the chocolate the alcohol also comes from there this is basically the story of the origin of poor Robbi I think he is a real Cuban he has never tried rum he doesn't drink much even oh well it's not what I was looking for after extracting the juice It is filtered to remove any unwanted remains it is cooled with a little ice and we are ready to drink this refreshing drink how often do you drink this it is almost gone, yes, because it was in the country, it needs a way to hydrate.

In this case, this is co. We're going to try it. Oh yeah, it's a little thick. You know, it's sweet, but it's also a little earthy. I didn't expect it to be really good. I actually loved this when I was a kid. drink with lots of ice and it is super refreshing sugar cane is no longer the golden crop that it once was to the point that Cuba now imports sugar from other countries even so sugar cane is an important part of Cuban agriculture and an icon as Cuban coffee and tobacco oh now with a belly full of fresh sugar cane juice Otto and I finally headed to borrow Cola surrounded by mountains and located along the coast at this time we have just arrived at Daisy's farm Hello, I mean, hello, stop, I ran out of Spanish.

This lady takes care of this piece of land alone, from farming to harvesting and protecting her home. Today we will discover why the people of this town call her the good cocoa queen. Oh, what did you have for breakfast today? I was playing with the Lord because with the choro ticket houses Oh Mama's choco laughing baby she calls me Lord Oh probably means Lord respect me more than you Laurel laughs there all day that's what you have What's so special about him cocoa where? All I can think of is just chocolate. They have a traditional ring which was called kerothi.

Ah well, I'm not chocolate day. When I was in high school, we sang this song, but they fell for it on prank day. That means? we mix the chocolate my spanish I am in the highlands covered in shade this environment is the perfect place for cocoa trees to thrive the seed pods of this variety are ready to pick after they have turned red right here you can see the cocoon , could you? Call this a cocoa sprout but the peasant Ledisi MoMA near cocoa yes, it's like a sprout oh, it takes a cocoa tree five years to produce its first seed pods and you need ten pods like this to make a pound of cocoa or is it cocoa, I don't know, eventually it will be chocolate and that's what really matters here, she cuts the pod in half, revealing tons of cocoa beans inside the seeds that are removed and placed on a bed of banana leaves where they ferment for 11 days when the time comes.

It is time for these beans to lose cocoa one is very raw it is very good for the heart it gives you natural energy when cocoa has a lot of bitterness it is very good for blood pressure I am looking for something that will help me be healthier look younger from the inside out Outside honestly look at me how old do you think I am 22? Yes, then the grinder transforms this cocoa beans into a thick cocoa paste. This fresh raw cocoa can be used to cook any number of

dishes

you just want. to try this before it goes to the next stage of cocoa bean, it's super bitter, are you going to try the hints of chocolate?

Okay, I can see how it would taste like chocolate eventually, maybe I'm wrong, you also think it's necessary like coffee with that kind of roasted flavor, yes, nutty, chola day starts with water, then fresh cocoa powder ground, cinnamon leaf, milk powder, banana flour and sugar, mixing and boiling until ready, and so on, from the queen of chocolate, let's try it oh wow, that's fantastic. It has hardness, it's not like milk, it's like chocolate puree, it's so thick it has a lot of body, she said this is Mary's energy dream in the country when you get all the nutrients from the banana and the limbs all day long. banana bridge with the energetic sense and the opener of the heart of cocoa you get a drink that keeps the farmer strong I'm working hard a little bit like baracoa Red Bull you say she is very grateful because this is something that no longer looks like the

countryside

it will be boring but is very happy how much you have as a short drive from Daisy's farm we finally arrive at our final location this is where the Fiesta will take place in a matter of hours algalita one of the oldest and most remote settlements in cuba hey here we We have come here for what is called oh, wait, wait, the dance thing ah, I'm Gong, it sounds Vietnamese, that's not all from yesteryear, it happens almost weekly and they are the only community left in Cuba that still practices a known traditional dance. like the gang and Kariba it's some kind of party, they get together, prepare our

food

and share it with each other, this is actually what they do, what about the rum?, they were wrong, okay, could you try some of rum here?

It's about eating several. including these coconuts that are used in almost all the dishes, there is also Latvian, there was Costa, they cook them all marinated and they cook it with the exhaust here, they put the sauce after the Israeli one, so right now there is no flavoring of any kind, so it is natural to burn. burnt that sounds like great

preparation

you're really a food expert I'm great sounds good I have more to say I don't know why now we can go to the

preparation

is already underway for lunch or do we call it pre party everything is served in weeda weeda is a local plant but you can find it twice this hard shell was very important to them their first dish crab rice just a few steps away at a local home a husband and wife team pooled their talents to create this dish. kitchen while he performs the important task of showing me his home gym.

It is a combination of rice with crab meat, tomatoes and other local ingredients. The rice is steamed until cooked through or until you complete your workout. Alright. I'm going to try some of this is crab rice. Oh, super cool, by the way, it's just a touch of earthly crap, okay, you know, this is part of us. They used to use it for vomiting because they thought vomiting was a way to free your spirit, so they ate a lot of it. the next day they use this is real fish these goldfish are fried a little onion and a little rich creamy coconut milk right on top mmm pretty good it's like it's deep fried do I get a little leathery because it cools along with this It's made of breadfruit well, I'm dying to try this it's like their version of a tamale this is Kovac in the elements are known as the tamale the outside is made of banana leaf inside they scrape the cocoa and banana and mix it with trash what makes it right there you see that red stuff it's called sauteing or holding and the seeds are what makes it disco oh yeah you taste the coconut right away yeah I love the fact that they don't put in a lot of flavors Really light sweet Loba and then tons of coconut oil flavor just in time, the Lehtonen has survived its three hour journey through hell and we're ready to see what it's really done to us, so right now they're taking outside towards the wooden pool he's holding the head my man here holding the stick all the way out take a spin and look at this stomach that's been sewn up here I think he's about to open it oh okay but next to this car he just ended up from making a new c-section scar oh man, I've never seen this before all the organs have been cooked from the inside in here yeah, we're right, you can smell like all the pork fat just came in and saturated this rice, there, there , there's a bit of liver in here too, although I feel like I'm in a good man, oh let's try it, how delicious, it doesn't have much seasoning, it's just absorbed all that pork essence in it, never try something like this, that's good . yeah, it's really good, oh he also has some pork here for us.

I bet another pig would eat this pork, you're done, oh so juicy, it's really good, in fact, have you ever tried this super crispy, huh, which is good if you don't believe it. about this from this point they are going to have this ready, shred it, cut it and prepare it for our banquet tonight, let's do it in this town, they know that the best cut of meat comes from the interior. I'm not saying this pig. he just had a lot of heart, but he had guts: guts that our local chef turned into braids, something he definitely hadn't seen before.

The larger pieces of intestines are filled with raw blood. Both are boiled, cut into pieces and then cooked again in oil before cooking. The party starts there is a person we have to meet, let's say man meet the man behind this the whole Party, the food doesn't happen without him, he even donated his own land to create the Party, he has an area where this community gathers most weekends, but their contributions don't stop there to complement all of today's bold and heavy flavors. Antonio brings something sweet, this one you see here, which is a cuckoo root that is softer.

Caruso means cone, this traditional dessert is made by cooking coconut water, guava, papaya and sugar for 4 hours creating a concentrated sweetness as the water evaporates. Give it a try, of course, we have a winner. In fact, I wanted you to come all this way for this one. Have you tried this before? Men. Oh, it's hard to explain the taste a bit. like the inside is like that piece of super rich sweet coconut, all kinds of puree along with some fruity notes of guava, on top of that, this ismy favorite thing in the world, it's crazy, this could be in a five star restaurant as a dessert can.

I ask you how old you are, gentleman, to know what your secret is to a long life. Dad in a bad mood. Other. I feel like I have the brother. First friend, I think Antonio, like many others I have met here, finds joy in simple things, hard work, community, and by being grateful for what he has, he embodies the idea that happiness is not a destiny. specific but something that can be unlocked within ourselves at any time this moment makes me happy to be able to interact, talk to you and try this food, it is amazing and delicious, hidden in this small kitchen in the eastern part of Cuba it is something for what people from all over the world would die for, so it's an honor.

To prove it, Ingoson is the mother of something called canto, she is like the father of salsa. I know there are popular reasons. Is one of them. This ancient dance has been here for over a century and people are doing everything they can to keep the tradition alive. or Oh, on the other hand, I think he's just making it up as he goes along, the emotions they do is imitate what they do in the fields and I really want to say, oh wow, I got this for you, do you know what it's for? That, rum water?

Does it feel weird at all that you've seen my show so many times that you're now a part of it? I don't know, man, where are the people, you're the guy off the show for me, you're my friend, you know before, when? We live together we always have this type of conversation the difference is that when we had those discussions I was drinking and you or not yes, but today you are drinking and I actually will drink too I am not responsible for what happens in these chairs, your dad drank My dad doesn't drink much and it makes sense this is what we need we need some food I'll be right back oh man this is on fire this made me want to laugh this is working run fast do it right what are they talking about?

It's anything, are you drunk? you want someone or you want someone it's so lonely you don't have a chance listen we're about to wrap things up here I have this because this is a great combination of the unique dishes that are coming up this year in this area, including two things that we're going to try . I know it will be out of your comfort zone with the first one, it's this grip, okay, no it's not. What is an intestine brain, have you ever eaten pig intestine? I didn't do it this way, friend, that is, by drinking food.

If I've ever drank food, I understand what people consume with alcohol and it's exactly like fat and pork, super simple, but man, putting it together. that way it creates this amazing chewy texture. I like it a lot. The last thing I love is because it is the easiest way I have seen to make blood sausage. Yes, they just pour blood into the intestines, which means it tastes. Like organ meat, it's like halfway between a heart and a liver, yeah, if you give it to me like that, you bite and I squeeze and I taste it, it's all, I mean a heart and you'd be okay with that right now, Otto and I drove throughout the country of Cuba in just a few days trying the most outstanding ideas of the country's cuisine.

I had the opportunity not only to hang out with you, but to hang out with very humble people from my country. Coming here is more about this. what we have and we need to make it work and also find a way to be happy, so to me that's a cliché, my brother in real time, Don, I'm glad I did this, yeah, next time we get back to Havana, where we will witness the Cuban food of the future or the idea that they will immediately find a restaurant in Cuba is their first time. Yes, can you go here a little bit?
