Is Cuban food spicy?
Unlike Sri Lankan or Mexican cuisines, Cuban food is not spicy but because it’s a mix of Spanish, African, and other Caribbean cuisines you can make it as hot as you like. Chilies are not even grown in Cuba which is why ‘heat’ has never really been a key ingredient in Cuban cuisine.
