Cuba - Rice and pork: the basis of the Cuban cuisine | What's cookin'

- Опубликовано: 6 авг 2017
- The Las Tunas region lies in the south east of Cuba. Here, the largest sugar crops in the Caribbean grow. The country’s vital export is still harvested manually by the "macheteros" who use machetes to cut the cane. Argelio Marrero Pérez has been working the fields for most of his life. To make sure he withstands the tough work, his wife Lucy cooks hearty meals like pork roast or yellow rice with chicken: Arroz amarillo con pollo.
What's cookin' is about traditional culinary recipes from different European regions.

That is how every cuban farmer is, including my grandfather. Despite not having a very comfortable economic situation, they will share everything with others. Great Document 👍🏻
jorgito5.0 yeah that’s why you are here. They got tired of sharing with everyone and never having enough.
Cubans are some of the most patriotic people in the beautiful USA 🇺🇸! Wish others who come to this country had the same kind of beliefs, patriotism, kindness and appreciation...
@@nelxonmiranda La verdad de Cuba!...ruclips.net/video/90lbu1QaMac/видео.html
@@impactajuvenile Yes, I,ve known many Cubans and they all loved their country.
Khamomil yup, just in general people who come to this country from tyrannical countries with little to no opportunities, really learn to love this country because of all the opportunities they have here. Knowledge sometimes comes from true suffering, unlike Leftist made up atrocities!
The guy who helped his wife around the house, he is a man and a gentlemen. This family remind me so much of my own and I came from Vietnam.
what a nice guy Argelio is and his wife Lucy,a wise woman.
You have there family information
Don't need to ! And is "their" not " there" imbecile!
that's what I thought, too.
lucy, i'm home!
I was born in Puerto Padre, my family and I came in a stolen boat in 1994 when I was 9 years old. My childhood in Puerto Padre was more like something out of the movie "The Goonies" than anything else. I have yet to return to my island, but one day I hope to do so.
I have family in all the places that were mentioned here and they are all worked the land at some point in there lives or continue to do so. This video brought back so many memories of a childhood, that even though we didn't have much, everyday was an adventure, whether it was playing handball in the middle of the street or in the actual national baseball stadium, tops, marvels, flying kites, making pea shooters out of cloth pins, sling shots, even our own scooters which we called "chivichanas", playing hide and seek in forests, fishing from the pier, fighting fishes, raising parakeets, spending weeks in beach cabins made of lumber in our amazing white sand beaches, those were my golden years. Thank you for this video.
hey man, i think I came in that same boat as you, did you go from cuba to another Caribbean island?
I c e be careful with your great escape stories
Born in puerto padre in Miami now ✌🏼
I'M TELLING MY MAN TRUMP ON YOU !!
sage0187 Hello. I’m from Louisiana in the USA and my ancestors came from the Canary Islands of Spain (Las Islas Canarias/los isleños) and I heard that many of the Guajiros descend from isleños either in part or fully. Can you confirm this by any stories you’ve heard from your people about the Canary Islands or isleños? I know many isleños settled Cuba and especially in the countryside from what I’ve read. Thanks.
Argelio's face when he came to his wife with the deboned fish was absolutely priceless. A good man.
i noticed that too! ucan actually feel theyr love!
so cute
Yes!!!! He was so glad that he removed all the bones!!!😃😃which thats not an easy thing to do!!!!! I really hope that he rests well in his retirement 🙏
That food from spoon to his wife stole my heart.. lov from INDIA
this is the type of channel i was looking for on youtube
Shedding a damn tear and can’t help but to think about my grandma and how much she misses here brothers in Cuba still , til this day.
My motherland, my people. love my people.
Igualmente aca
Haitian & Cuban here 💯🇨🇺🇭🇹
Yo tambien....nacido en la habana pero creado en los ustados unido.....como amo mi jente cubana!
Best one yet! I've watched this twice already.
Beautiful people with beautiful hearts!
You can just see the pride Argelio has in his work, family and in his life despite everything else. Great vid!
What a great video, loved watching it. But most of all I thought the couple were very special people. They clearly have very little, but their hearts have remained loving, happy and honest. It restores your faith in human nature.
How sweet. I love the couple.
These people are still strong in there old age because of the way the eat, fresh fit not preservatives, fresh rice, fresh pork, fresh vegetables and fruits. In rich countries people eat junk food and garbage, that's why obesity and diabetes run rampant in develop nations.
This is a beautiful example, that you don't need material things to be happy. How he feeds his wife first is just amazing.
What do you drive? A Mercedes? Looks like you are wearing a tux? Don't kid yourself...Cubans don't leave because they don't give a damn about tradition! My Grandfather came from Spain(Basque) and Brought Jai-alai to Cuba and then Miami! He was more of a "Cuban" than 99% of the people living in Miami.
You can feel the love between them.
@@heathermorgan9670 lol
Such a loving couple, humble and hard working. They have in material terms so little, but they are so very happy. I've so enjoyed watching this. May God bless them richly.
My highest respect for these people. Peace and love from Indonesia ❤️
Am humbled by this video...many thanks.
What a charming couple, the salt of the earth of the Cuban people. May God continue to bless them throughout their lives...
What a beautiful, beautiful story. Thank you.
Los Guajiros ,this is how we call the farmers in Cuba,are very nice people they are not rich but they will share everything with you
Nice show btw
I think they are riches than the peoples from the cities because the eat better and have better quality of life.
You have lost your grip! find 1 cuban that lives here in Miami and wants to return to Cuba and I will BUY the ticket. FIRST CLASS!
Samuel Jason I will when The communist system is over ,but farmers are nice people we talk about people! Not about returning to Cuba or politics
Ethian. I apologize if I came off as ignorant. I agree with you. Thank you for the response. I agree that the Guajiros(farmers) are all about family! I was speaking of the generation who fled and still tries to act like they understand the life they never had to live!!!
These folks sure eat healthy and rich food especially cos it's all done with love. Adorable couple.
Que bonita familia, dignos de admirar, Dios les bendiga y les de muchisimos años de vida.
That is the sweetest thing i have ever seen..the first spoon of food for the wife!! What a nice human being and an awesome husband🥰
This reminds me of when I used to visit my grandparents in DR when I was a kid. I love your story very nice. Thanks for the memory.
60yrs old and gotta be laboring like this....chuck know. God bless you all my Cuban brothers
I love their relationship. This is relationship goals. Loving, kind and considerate to each other ❤️
What a lovely show...God bless Argelio and his woman
hahaha! i love it when your mama call for a lunch and she make that plate like a bell,.
I'm from Las Tunas, so glad that I hear my towns name!!! Que nostalgia 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ this one had me crying.
this reminds me of my old folks.....god bless you good people!!! this world is nothing without you!!!
nothing is more delicious than HOME Cooking =)
I love cuba.
I do aswell
G Pow because it’s a country without freedom
Cuba runs through my veins
@@loochhmm6334 it's ok in the US you are free to be poor. And you are free to have your communication spied on (no warrant needed). Sure Cuba might not be great in these aspects either but let's not pretend that other countries are.
Life very simple no cars, no mobile phone, no computer no modern TV but they enjoy their life very much . Their children are still happy, joyful and laughing . God bless them .
Wow what a great video and so many lessons in life.Loved how they are so content,hard working and happy.
THIS Cuban food looks absolutely delicious! I lived in Miami for 5 years, and never saw this food there. I saw something similar, but nothing like this. WOW!!!! Also, these Cubans are so different from those one meets in Miami. I will watch this again.
Peaceful & loving family....wow
You tie a dog to a tree all day long and he gets used to it, then you give him a little bone and he gets very exited and wags his tail at you. What I mean is that they have been under the yoke of communism for over fifty years and they don't know any better.
@@NoMore-gc3gi you are a shame to the humanity
Say what you want about those two but we all want what they have. That kind of love is priceless.
Jente trabajadora honesta y humilde Saludos des de Mexico
Gracias hermano por ése comentario no sabes cuanto lo aprecio, porque hay tantos mexicanos que no saben la realidad del cubano y sólo ven los cubanos malos educados de Miami y por éso nos odian a todos como si fuéramos iguales pero cuando veas vídeos como éste entonces ahí estarás viendo como es él cubano de Cuba, no los cubanos racistas de Miami
@@yuryestrada9804 Los cubanos auténticos son tan iguales a los Mexicanos. Buenas gentes, amorosos, y humildes. Y trabajadores.
Yury Estrada, con mucho respeto, e conocido muchos Cubanos buenos y muy trabajadores en Miami, gente digna de admirar, como en toda rasa tenemos gente muy digna y gente que no son muy dignas, pero te entiendo, y saludos de OHIO 👋🏻
Pero gentes trabajadoras,honestas,y humildes no merecen vivir como ellos viven.Son victimas del comunismo , un sistema que en ninguna parte funciona
.Soy cubano de Miami,Saludo a los hermanos Mexicanos.
What lovely, hardworking people. May God bless them.
Dont kid yourself Mam. I live in Miami Fl. This used to be paradise!
¡¡¡Que orgullo me da ser cubano!!! Nuestra gente es nuestro mayor tesoro :)
que buena gente , merecen lo mejor, todos los consentidos de aquí deberíamos aprender de esta gente maravillosa y sus valores.
Thank for this You Tube. Though I'm weeping a waterfall. These are my people. God bless Cuba!
The smile on their faces, this pride, care and love for each other, and this pure yet profond happiness . It strikes me.
its sad to see these good people have so little but they love all that they do have .
I must visit soon good luck to you all from the U.K.
They have a full life, they are proud of their work, have a large and nice family. That all often is missing in western civilisation where you run after the money to get more stuff. Families are smaller and we spent less time with relatives. I think it is one of our delusions to be sad for others who have obviously a good life, only because by our standards they have less material values. Sure they too want progress as the women hoped for new buisnesses, while traditional hard work is replaced by machines. Change can be tough, we in the west will see the exact same thing happen again to us most likely with the upcomming replacement of workforce through A.I.'s , then we will have lots of time for our families ^^
Thsy could have left in the 60's
Silver even if you have mutch more I higly doubt you are as happy as they are. The scene where they were eating at the beach is fantastic.
Silver I agree with you to a degree mate, but they are rich in many things we have lost sight of.. Greetings, also from the UK...
And what is sad about that? you are sad. and they do not.
Mi patria. Mi corazon 💕. Aye mi Cuba. Como te quiero mi Cuba.
It was in 1979 when my brother married his girlfriend and the honeymoon was in las tunas in POZO PRIETO, it was a really beautiful experience we had by that time, I was 10 years old. I was able to wake up every morning under the cocks singing and the sheep, horses, caws crying for food. I was LOZADA'S FAMILY. I will never forget that. That video made me remember that time. There was a river that they called EL CANAL where we went every day to get into the water. Greetings for all those people from that place. I also remember a little train from vazques to pozo prieto.
14:49 Long Live Dom Argelio !!! Grande Hombre
This makes me very nostalgic. My grandpa is from Las Tunas province. I have his love for the ground and growing food, and I keep and cherish my grandmas sofrito recipe- and yes, cumin is LIFE. They’re both gone now, but the food stays with my family. Food is the best inheritance. My grandpa said he’d never set foot in Cuba again while communism was present and it’s sad that he never did.
Beautiful show I ever watched
Thank you for translating to English.
I need a man like Arjelio??! What a sweetie!!!🙂
Can we get in touch...?
Thank you so much for doing this video of this lovely family in the country side of Cuba, I enjoyed every minute of it. I missed my motherland. This video brought me beautiful memories.
Well you can always go back and live there
I have Cubano in my family.Naturally I love the Cubano people.🤗❤️💪
i think thats lovely how he greets his wife and gives her the first spoonful what a good man he couldn't do it without his wife
I’m so proud to be Cuban ❤️💪🏽 Negrito!!
beautiful videography!
I know they do hard work, but the scene in the sugar cane farm when they are lunching under the trees is so idyllic
And made with so much love ❤️! This is by far the most wonderful episode! Cubans might be poor but they have the most generous hearts 🥰 imaginable!
Que lecciones de vida, de amor, de honestidad y de esta gente valiosa que comparte lo poco que tiene soy mexicano y en mi estado siempre se le ofrece al visitante agua y comida por tradicion ...sin palabras
I am watching is for 2nd time ,, I really respect the couple and wish a good and prosperous life,,
I'm back again I just love this couple and their family and friends so strong so much faith GOD BLESS THEM ALWAYS 🙏🏾🙏🏾💖🙏🏾🙏🏾
Such a beautiful couple💜 The husband is an amazing man.
24:32 now that's the smile of LOVE. Wonderful couple. Bless them!! xx..
What a simple life but full of love and caring.nice to see those lovely smiles from both 💑😍😍😍
This life is hard but so pure. May God bless are Cuban brothers and sisters.
This is very good stuff. Cuban people are some of the nicest. And the food is deliciousThanks for sharing.
Salt of the earth! Muchas gracias por esto.
Best feature in this channel so far..
We love Cuba! We are brotherhood! From Vietnam ❤
Argelio is a great family man and Lucy is one lucky wife 💞
You wont see that in the west. Women aren't worth the risk anymore. Never get married men👈
I see more happiness between them, than in some parts of the great USA.
Should see how they are when the "rations" dont come in!
Very happy. I love it
Of course.
Nobody in USA have a happy life
the great usa lololololllolololol
They are Happy.... It's Blessed to see Happiness😊
Such hard working honest people really wish them the best!
The rice dish in the Beginning is very similar to the Biryani ,and to make it even more similar, the lady adds cumin powder. Looks absolutely delicious
the spanish brought rice and pigs to the america's
This is Carribbean cooking not Indian there no curry powder in it
@@maraperez6246 most of carribean and south american cuisines got their inspiration from Spain and Portugal, those spaniards and portugese got their inspiration from middle east, and guess where those middle easterners got their inspiration from? India.
I am an india btw.
@@redienandar7771 iam puerto rican our food is totally different our food is between african slaves that came over in the slave trade most of them came from west africa not the middle east mixed wth carrib taino food from the islands wth spanish influece added its no were near the same as indian food
Biryani needs curry. But almost same recipe. I like curry. Pity we don't have it in Cuba.
Hola 👋 soy Mexicano pero evivido casi toda mi vida en Fresno California . Y quise parar ✋ para quitarme el sombrero 🎩 por Esta gente tan travagadora de verdad mis Respeto ✊ Y Arriva cuba 🇨🇺
Argelio Marrero Perez y Lucy.....que linda familia. May God Bless you and your family. It’s nice to watch another culture so rich in family values. Especially where men take the role of providing and taking the extra role of helping with great love to their spouse. In my opinion being born in America where most things are taken for granted you show an appreciation for everything you do and your smiles, love, care will always OUTSHINE. Happy Anniversary.
The family is very contented with the little they have and a very happy together.💙
Such lovely people. There was a time when Cuba was the best country to live. That may come as a surprise to many. Cuba has survived and is not starving despite the sanctions and embargoes. They have one of the most sustainable lifestyle.
so sad , bro... without embargo , those good people could have a much better life!
Faux Manchu I am Cuban. Socialism/ communism has never ever been economically "sustainable" . You are sadly misinformed.
Mary Perez - say that to the Netherlands, Sweden and Finland. A few European countries have market economies and very socialist social programs.
@@teleopinions1367 they're not socialist.
Faux Manchu b the rest
I don't speak a word of Cuban but this guy seems like the the most friendly genuine guy. Such a good insight
I know they will never know, but I have a lot of respect for the people in this video. Bless you!
Very humble people, I have met a lot of people like them. They wont hesitate to share their food or whatever else they have to help someone; really kind people.
13:10 - damn flies... scourge of the world!!! Wonderful film and great people.... so many fine people across the world!!
This people don’t need any school the knowledge they have in there daily life they work way harder than someone how have any degree they are beautiful people and very humble
Illiterate people dont prosper.
Wow 70 year old man looks like he in his 50. Natural living.. maybe their life might be hard but they have so much wonderful cuisine, love and life. I don’t think this people are poor I actually envy them.
I love my country. This reminded me when I was growing up and use to visit my fathers family in Candelaria Pinar del Rio. Grat times This was many years ago. Glad to see that some of that still exist. Bless this family.
That was just lovely, Job well done.
Thank you, one of the best series on YT :-)
My second favourite after romanian episode. Can't call It second. Love them both.
Wocomo thank you from the bottom of my heart
Am from Jamaican and I must say the Cuban people that I know in Jamaican are very good & hard working. Nuff respect from Jamaican!♥️
He is more of a man than anyone you or I will ever meet,may God bless their family...
Well if women didnt change and divorce men and steal all his wealth you might see more, but you females are to much of a risk to be around now. NEVER GET MARRIED MEN 👈
Beautifully captured video. I love their simple spirit of community and sharing from what they have. Such a lovely couple - so much to learn from their simple ways. God bless them.
Ahhh I miss fresh sugar cane juice growing up in South America, such pure loving hard working souls, beautiful people, delicious food beautiful documentary!!!😊
Hard working people. Everytime I use a spoon of sugar, Ill remember them. God bless them all.
This is beautiful and what life should be, very honest and easy living. I rather live like this and not stress about things like we do in the West.
Vato Loco: I would rather live like this than live like a bird in a golden cage and be miserable.
Its amazing how eventhough these people may be financially "poor" they eat 100x healthier and better than the poor in America.
People in US don't want to be bothered by hard work and growing their own food,they just want to go to Walmart and buy everything and complaint about gluten or throwing a tantrum if their mocha unicorn grande is not ready in 1 minute.
Melissa .....Meli, you are wrong.....poor people in America eat good......every day.
??? They live in poverty and there are times that they go days with no food. You only see what is shown and that’s not necessarily your fault. Not all have farms/land and have to find other means to get their food and money
@@agustindejesus7398 I was homeless as a child. Left home at age 11. My buffet was in the McDonald's trash cans and let me assure you I was just one of many homeless children who ate from the same trash can. And I was homeless in the rich part of Oklahoma City. My biography "Estoppels" backs this up.
Anthony.....Antho, why you left home at eleven. Was you abused or did not want to listen to your parents. Did you have family out of your parents home. You were a child. If you was abused you should have told someone like a teacher, or any organization who help abused children. In my country no child leave home at eleven. Hope you have a good life now because scars most of the times are painful.
Heart-warming; I watched with great appreciation and admiration for the goodwill, generosity, compassion and kindness of these hard working people. Maybe our modern world has something to relearn?
This yt series has my heart!!! Just loving every one of them!!!😘❤️
Beautiful
This was a wonderful video. Thank you for it.
These people deserve to live free. Viva Cuba libre. Beautiful people.
Wow, "I'm a man but not a macho." What a wonderful expression he made and what a fortunate woman. He has great respect for his wife and himself.
That little baby is being given such a gift of love, food, attention, affection. No Beechnut, Gerber, processed and package 'specialities' here. Honest, nutritious, flavorful food. They may not have a lot materially but these people are so rich in the ways that truly count.
Sorry this comment is so long but I am writing as I watch. The work they go through, to feed their families, to provide, is amazing. They have much to be proud of. It is refreshing to see humble, kind, and giving people who live their lives with such grace is a revelation. His wife certainly takes to heart Proverbs 31:10-31. A blessing.
@@Jetsetfastfood I agree, so many people do and others may seem to have more than could possibly be enough. Even so, they are rich.
He would have more money if he didn't have a wife.
@@BridgesDontFly Money buys you plenty of 'things' but it can't buy love, compassion, empathy, loyalty, respect and integrity. He has all those with her.
@@kimquinn7728
Sure maybe in Cuba, but in the West or modern nations men are disposable and women initiate 80% of divorces and with the #METOO shit show its safer to stay away from females. Dont hire, mentor, train, date, marry, or cohabit with females. Marriage absolutely does not benefit men.
@@kimquinn7728
Loyalty haha😂. What world are you living in? Thanks for the laugh...
