I will get a tattoo one day where breakfast for me uh when I was
00:09
growing up was a very simple ordeal.
00:11
I was always late in the morning.
00:12
So there was never really time to do a big breakfast.
00:13
So my grandmother would improvise things and I would get like
00:16
little things like this.
00:17
Like they're sweet.
00:19
I had a big sweet tooth as a kid.
00:20
So I was always trying to like eat the candy or the ice cream
00:23
or whatever was in the house.

First of all, when I was younger, I hated this dish because
00:26
I had onion and had salsa on.
00:28

00:31
dish ever.

00:35
it was just Cuban bread and butter.
