Another victim of explosive croquettes in Cuba

Cuban explosive croquettes have once again made the news on the island, where they have accumulated at least two new victims in the last week.

This Saturday the Cuban identified inFacebook like "Mkc Cerralvo", resident in Villa Clara, posted a photo of his own body, with an injury caused by one of these croquettes.

Just two days ago the chroniclerBertico San Luis Hernández Hernández He reported having suffered severe injuries to his face while frying the controversial explosive croquettes sold by the regime's food industry.

The incident occurred on November 12 when the writer was frying some croquettes and one of them exploded in his face, causing injuries to his cornea and temporary loss of vision.

Cerralvo stated this Saturday that although he does not like to publish personal photos, he felt the need to show this "achievement of the revolution."

In his publication he compared the so-called "explosive croquettes" with a powerful instrument of what would be called "the hot war."

"If our weapons are obsolete, our war techniques are from the last century, we must recognize that the Culinary industry, with all its ministers, will not know how to make food, nor produce in the field, but they know how to make state-of-the-art war implements" , he stressed.

He said that "the day the enemy invades us, we just have to let them fry croquettes, and then we can collect the dust from the blood-soaked ground."

The so-called explosive croquettes have already accumulated dozens of victims in Cuba. Many of them have denounced the company Prodal – which makes them – for negligence and have demanded to publish the content of the recipe, or determine why they explode.

Despite the danger they represent, in the midst of the food shortage suffered by the population, these preparations, distributed by the state processing company Prodal, are usually in high demand.

This product is made with some animal protein substance cooked with wheat flour and bread, but apparently some strange ingredient causes them to explode.

To avoid responsibility, the government has limited itself to blaming the population for "not knowing how to fry croquettes," and even published a manual that explained how to carry out "the correct process."

Among the entity's recommendations to avoid accidents is to heat the oil to 180 degrees, fry the croquette when it is at room temperature, and not move them too much.

However, Cubans believe that the product has some dangerous ingredient, because there have been reported cases of croquettes exploding even after frying them, when they are already served on the plate.

The company did not offer an apology to the victims, did not commit to improving the recipe, and in the midst of the food shortage that the island is experiencing, its inhabitants have no choice but to continue risking their health by consuming this food.
