What’s up with people associating Castro with dairy? I see this quite often on youtube and it’s on NATOpedia. Genuine question.
If I had to guess, having done no investigation, is the association a result of Cuba trying to build up its cattle and dairy industries and liberals just decided that economic development could only be because of the whims and desires of a big bad communist dictator? Or was Castro actually really into dairy? Both? Other?
wut I’ve never heard of this
MFW i dream about giant glass of milk on my nightstand, but there’s only small Cuban flag there instead.
i’d think that the good ole’ fidel was more into rum, like a good latino boy at the sea level
Fidel Castro was actually into raising and breeding dairy cattle, and also famously enjoyed ice cream a lot to the point that he had a milkshake almost every day. Here’s a cute photo of him with his pet dairy cow, Ubre Blanca, a Holstein-zebu hybrid.
Did he also not having something involving dairy (milk, ice cream, etc) in Havana? Like a building, or mall, for it? Something like that. I don’t exactly remember.
Heladeria Coppelia in Havana served like 15,000-20,000 litres of ice cream per day at its peak around 10 years ago. Really cool architecture, too. Sadly, I’ve heard that they’ve had a really hard time maintaining both supply and quality in the last few years due to deprioritization because of the embargo.
The things I would do to be Castro’s pet dairy cow…
fidel enjoyed ice cream a lot
if you eat ice cream, you’re eating communism
i understand it now
That’s such a cute photo. Thank you for sharing
Another fun fact, he wanted to create a program to breed dairy cows closer in size to a large dog or goat, so that urban families could have a pet cow that produced milk.
