But this picadillo cannot be served
alone. It must be accompanied by white
rice, fried eggs and fried bananas.
To fry an egg Cuban style, you
must really poach it in deep fat, and it is
oh! so good that way, but the egg must
be strictly fresh.
By fried bananas we understand fried
plantains -the vegetable, not the fruit.
The mode of doing it will be seen under
the proper heading.
