"Croquetas de Jamon I’ll take any excuse to visit the classic Islas Canarias, and this week I had a good one: research for our Cuban sandwich guide (which is coming very soon). I’ll wait until then to talk about that sandwich, but I will say (and this is really news to no one) that Islas’ croquetas are incredible. If someone asks you, “Hey, what does a Cuban croqueta taste like?” you throw them in a cab and tell it to come here. We went with the jamon croquetas, which have a golden-brown crust and that soft interior Cuban croquetas are known for. I would like to carry around a suitcase full of these things." - ryan pfeffer, carlos c olaechea
