jer: First let me tell you that I am a "cubano", I do not know where the spaniards came up with fried eggs on top of white rice with ketchup and plantains as "arroz a la cubana". The only time I have seen that dish is in Madrid. We Cubans do not eat that, but that is what the Madrilenos call it. There are many Cuban rice dishes (congri=white rice & red beans or moros con cristianos= white rice & black beans, among them). By the way fried eggs on top of plain white rice was known in Cuba B.C. (before castro) as "desayuno de putas" (prostitutes' breakfast), hahahahahahah, but that is another story!
