What are some popular types of Cuban food?

One of the most popular types of food in Cuba is the Cuban sandwich, which contains roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese and pickles on crusty bread. Another popular type of food in Cuba is black beans and rice, which is called Moros y Cristianos, translating to Christians and Moors.
