Some weren't on there that I would have expected:
-Chevrolet products
-reproduction
-other tacky celebrations like quincanera (sp).
-putting too many people into a car
Others were reliably there:
-culos (what we used to refer to growing up as "el culo Cubano" when it gets TOO big from too many pasteles de guayava and croquetas, so I think it's more of a "take it or leave it" issue more so than liking it),
-baseball
-flags (Argentina and Uruguay have cool flags)
Oh, yeah, that's right, the Cubans (1/3 of my Catholic grammar school) only like other Cubans, can hang with the Argentinians and Venezuelans, and definitely like the Spaniards (their mother land, with a tangible link to the Canary Islands)...but tend to dislike most other Hispanics.
OMG this blog is freakin awesome. I still ask for "La Bendicion" everytime I speak to someone old in the family hahaha.
Am I the only person obsessed with Maltas?

Funny you mention Goya. We have a Mexican grocery store, Fiesta Foods, and we shop there all the time - my wife is from Ukraine, I'm "Casper-white" as well, but, whatever. That store rocks, they have a lot of Goya products, we love 'em. I always get a loaf of jalopeno cheese bread when we go there, it's great. They have a lot of less-known vegetables and meats beyond beef-chicken-pork.
We burn a lot of those votive candles as well, during holiday season. They are handy to have around the house anyway, if the power goes out they burn nice and steady for a couple of days, longer if you snuff them out during the daylight hours.
Never heard of it. I mean, I've probably seen it, but haven't paid attention. We certainly don't have such an aisle in our stores even though Tucson has a large Latino population. Otherwise it is funny.
Goya is more East Coast Cuban/Puerto Rican/Dominican than Southwestern..........

I came across one store like this here. I think it was called Tropical Foods, but it was tiny and the selection was pathetic. Guess we don't have many of those folks. Looks like I find more stuff than they would.
