A young Cuban woman living in Uruguay shared a video on her TikTok account, @maliallovetg, expressing her surprise at seeing how some dishes she used to reject in Cuba she has found in the South American country, although with variations or more "elegant" names.
"Who would have thought that after so many years living in Cuba and disliking bread with oil and garlic, I would end up having bread with oil and garlic for breakfast, which here has a different name," says Malia Llovet at the beginning of the video, where she talked about how in Uruguay similar dishes are presented as "snacks" or fancy breakfasts with different names.
His video has generated numerous reactions among the users of the network. One of them commented: "From there came the recipes"; while another added: "The rice and egg, pheewww until death do us part hahaha and I live where beef is one of the best in the world."
A Venezuelan follower identified with her experience by saying: "Hahahahaha, I'm dead, I'm Venezuelan and I confirm." Others pointed out that in Venezuela, garlic bread is also eaten a lot as a side dish, while in Spain, bread with garlic, oil, and rubbed tomato is consumed for dinner or breakfast.
"Did someone explain to you that garlic bread is a traditional food of the Jewish people, especially Orthodox Jews? Now in Uruguay, it has become popular and is consumed by anyone"; "In Italy, eating bread with olive oil is the most normal thing that exists. In Francoist Spain, Spaniards do the same but they add garlic, more out of necessity, it was rationed"; others added.
"It is not the same to eat it because you want to as to eat it because it is the only thing available," added another in reference to the consumption of bread with oil on the island.
Malia, for her part, responded to several of these comments, adding her touch of humor or gratitude for the various perspectives of her followers and sarcasm to criticisms or negative comments.
