i DO enjoy pineapple in thai...didnt think i would....but thai is the best thing on earth...
as an aside...like wayyyyyyyyyy aside...this time of year puts me in the mood to make a batch of french meat pies to freeze for make ahead meals....havent had a decent french meat pie in YEARS....

The Cuban foods that I have had were delicious. Cant think of any that featured fruit though I would be open to that. Especially if it involves mashed sweet plantains..love those. Especially in Pastelles popular in Puerto Rico and Trinidad and likely many other places that I am not aware of.

The Cuban sandwiches that were mentioned earlier are comfort food found in many Cuban cafe's, and markets. The "Cuban" as it is called is making a huge showing all over this country as more and more people get into the pannini press and look for ways to use it. If you like pork and ham, its a good sandwich.

What is a French meet pie?

I am learning so much in this thread.
