Cuban food is good and perfectly safe to eat when you are there.

My Dad was Cuban and I know you'll be fine. No need to stay away from the salad it's fine. Just check what you buy to make sure it looks clean. Just like you would here.

Americans are welcomed into Cuba by the way.

Keep in mind however that Cubans don't enjoy alot of the luxurys we have in the states, or anywhere for that matter. Alot of the children have never seen chocolate candy or tasted it for that matter.

Dad always made sure to bring treats to the kids in orphanges there. Poor Kids!

Good luck and have fun. Cuba is a beautiful island.
