"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
Bop Bop (grandpa Govin) used to take me into Ybor city for lunch and we would go to the Silver Ring or the Tropicana for hot Cubans and his espresso. There is only 1 right way to do a "real" Cuban Sandwich. Use authentic style Cuban bread, a good smoked roast pork and don't ever be stingy with the meat! Cut foot longs into 3 inch pieces for Football gatherings and casual get togethers. Enjoy!
