Served over rice or with bread and a salad. Makes you strong :) a lot of my grandmas friends who are old Cubans believe the same too they tell me "Cocinale Potaje a tu abuela pa' que viva mucho tiempo y este fuerte" I'm a dietetics major and yeah Potajes are nutritional power houses. lol.<br /><br />Remolacha for good blood is also used in my family. <br /><br />A good bistec de higado as well, lots of hierro.<br /><br />Interestingly also something my grandma calls "Ponche de Huevo" it's a drink made of cinnamon infused milk, egg yolks and sugar.<br /><br />Cannot forget the "Aciete de Bacalao" (codliver oil) <br /><br />Red wine too :)Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705907653188301814noreply@blogger.com
