Lots of beans, lots of rice. The food tends to be pretty mellow, almost bland.

Rice, beans, plantains. Little green veggies, lots of fruits. Most animal protein is pork, chicken and fish, but still scarce.
Lots of rice, beans, sausages, fried plantains and that sort of thing. Fried chicken also seemed pretty popular in Havana, loads of stands with natives queued up at them.

According to Conans Cuba segments, boxed rum.
And I can dig that.

As a base seasoning, Cuban cuisine consists of garlic, cumin, onion, green peppers, oregano and bay leaves fried in lard. Due to meat rationing, meat is used sparingly and when it is it will be usually used as a sort of seasoning, added to beans and whatever local vegetables are in season.
If your feeling pricey, you might go for a sandwich or a meat tamale, sandwiches are usually pork/ham, with some type of mustard or pickle.
Most basic dishes involve slow stewing black or kidney beans and yellow or long grain rice with sofrito.
Apparently it's not ok to talk about the reasons why a country's food is the way it is
No, you dumb mod. Cuban food is still shitty and the Cuban diet is shit, no matter how many sandwiches you ate in Miami. If you want to read into that and get butthurt over it, that's your own baggage.

Their drinks are top notch but the cuisine was the shittiest I've ever had and I've been around. Would go back, though. Beautiful place and very nice people. They can't cook for shit though.

inb4 banned for having wrong opinions
Apparently there used to be a relatively significant Chinese contingent, cooking a blended chino-cubano cuisine which sounds awesome, but I think it's dying out.
