Preparation[edit]
Traditional Cuban-style espresso is made using the darker roasts, typically either Italian or Spanish roasts. It is identical to Italian pulls, except for the addition of sugar directly to the pot or cup that the espresso drips into. Either some or all of the espresso is vigorously mixed with a spoon into a creamy foam called espuma or espumita. The heat from the coffee-making process will hydrolyze some of the sucrose, thereby creating a sweeter and slightly more viscous result than a normal pull or adding sugar at the table.

Preparation[edit]
Traditional Cuban-style coffee is made using the darker roasts, typically either Italian or Spanish roasts, with the brands Cafe Bustelo and Cafe Pilon being popular. It can be made using an electric espresso machine, but is commonly made with moka pot. Sugar is added directly to the pot or cup that the espresso drips into. Either some or all of the espresso is vigorously mixed with a spoon into a creamy foam called espuma or espumita. The heat from the coffee-making process will hydrolyze some of the sucrose, thereby creating a sweeter and slightly more viscous result than a normal pull or adding sugar at the table.

While originating In Cuba, Cuban coffee with espuma is no longer common in Cuba itself.

Religious restrictions on the consumption of pork

Interpretations of restrictions
The cultural materialistic anthropologist Marvin Harris thought that the main reason for prohibiting consumption of pork was ecological-economical. Pigs required water and shady woods with seeds, but those conditions were scarce in the Middle East. Unlike many other forms of livestock, pigs were omnivorous scavengers, eating virtually anything they come across, including carrion and refuse. This was deemed unclean; and a Middle Eastern society keeping large stocks of pigs would have destroyed their ecosystem.

The anthropologist Mary Douglas dismissed the materialist approach to explaining the pork taboo and instead proposed a structuralist explanation. She thought it wrong to apply secular medical explanations, instead focusing on the reasons listed explicitly listed in the bible. She explained that pigs were specifically considered taboo as they had one quality of a livestock animal (cloven hooves) but did not have the other (chewing cud). The Israelite's valued wholeness and completeness as pure and good, meaning something anomalous like a pig was considered an abomination.
