A Cuban named Delio Ramírez Rosales shared a photo of his modest lunch, sparking a wave of comments in the Facebook group Recipes of Cuban and World Food.

In the image, you can see a plate of beans prepared only with garlic and oil, accompanied by white rice, a delicious ripe avocado, and a drink of a glass of water with honey.

Despite the simplicity of the food, Ramírez expressed gratitude for having food on his table, a gesture that resonated deeply among Cuban users on social media.

"And where did the meat go?" a follower wrote in the comments, while others expressed their gratitude for what they have, remembering that many do not have the same fortune.

"Thank God because at least you have that, since other unfortunate people don't even see rice in pictures," commented one person.

The reactions were diverse, but they all agreed on the importance of being grateful.

"In these times in Cuba, that is an expensive meal, considering the prices. And it looks really delicious with that appetizing avocado. I love it!" expressed a user.

Ramírez's publication, far from being a reason for mockery, became a space for reflection on everyday blessings, in a country that is undergoing a deep food crisis, with high inflation leaving many families unable to put a good piece of bread on the table.
