Cuban cuisine is a fusion of Spanish, African and Caribbean cuisines and closely resembles that of other Caribbean nations such as Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Panama of Central America. While various parts of the island were influenced by many different immigrants, the Cuban cuisines developed locally, from the influences and demographics specific to each area.
