Cycling Curious Cuba

I was warned when I mentioned to others that I intended to cycle around Cuba that I would struggle to find good food.  I thought, how bad can it be?  And the answer is, pretty bad!  If you eat meat (lots of pork) and are only staying for one week in an all-inclusive resort, then maybe you will survive, but as a non meat-eater and one who likes to snack throughout the day whilst cycling, I was relieved that I had taken a stash of snacks with me.
In Havana we hunted down what was reported to be the best supermarket in the city (and reported by Lonely Planet as stocking everything from fresh pastries to babies nappies) - when we visited there was only spam (found everywhere in Cuba!), mayonnaise, shampoo and obviously, rum!
So not only can you not get a variety of food in hotels or restaurants, it's also impossible to buy it to cook for yourself.
I had assumed that when we reached the countryside we would see more of local people growing their own vegetables and fruits, but this was not the case either, although people we spoke to who were staying in local homes said they had experienced some great food.
One thing that the Cubans do very well is Pina Colada!  The best we had was from a shack (known as the service station!) on a main road - we stopped there around 10.30am and instantly joined the long queue.  I had intended to have mine without rum, but when they hand you the Pina Colada in one hand and a bottle of rum in the other, it seemed rude not to mix the two!
Another drink that became a favourite when we were cycling long distances on hot days was homemade lemonade - served ice cold, with a layer of honey in the bottom of the glass to be stirred in or not, depending on your likeness for sweetness.  I've had this a few times since my return - once while I was suffering with flu (but without the ice!), as I love the mix of sharpness and sweetness that it gives.

Cuban Lemonade

1 lemon, roughly chopped
1/2 tsp sugar
2-3 tsp good flavoured honey

Place the lemon and sugar in a small blender and blend with 100ml water.
Strain into a jug of ice and then strain again into another jug and top up with another 100ml water.
Spoon the honey into a glass and then pour the lemonade on top.
Stir as you drink!

PS.  I haven't actually tried it, but I suspect rum would also work quite well in this!
