Cubans?
 Are there any Cubans or Cuban descendent folk living in Huntsville/Madison, Alabama? |

There are a handful of Cuban families who came here in the 1960s. Most have married into the local stock. I don't know of any Cuban restaurants at all in this area.

I know I miss cuban food. You can get cuban chorizo at Publix but they usually only carry a small supply since most hispanics here use fresh chorizo. I can make it but it is easier to eat it out.
Now if only I could find a stuff boliche.

You may want to check out 35805 zip code as this is turning into a hispanic area much like the Buford Hwy area in Atlanta, which by the way has an awesome selection of latino food products. It would be a jewel if Huntsville's hispanic area reaches the same levels.

Keeper, one of these days we should have a cook-out. 
OH, FYI - husband found vegan chorizo somewhere the other day...now, I won't even dare to suggest it tastes anything like the real thing, but for the vegetarians out there, it's an alternative. (I prefer the real deal.) |

That brings back memories!!!! My abuela lived in Ybor City and we ate that every morning. Cuban sandwiches at the Columbia restaurant, paella made by my great-grandmother.
My dad is cuban and I am adopted. He didn't continue his heritage but to this day I still love the food and any time I hear a cuban speaking I recognize the dialect - it slightly has a different lilt to it than spanish. |
