In Cuba there are many jokes related to coffee, mainly about the subsidised coffee, which is sold at a lower price than what it normally costs in the shop or in any private shop, but it is also of lower quality. What happens is that lately this packet of coffee is sold less and less frequently, and this is often not because there is a problem of availability with the coffee itself, but with what the coffee beans are mixed with, which is made with pea beans, umjum, coffee with peas....

And lately in Cuba what is scarce is the pea to mix the coffee, and that always unleashes a sea of memes and jokes because if there is one thing we know how to do, it is to laugh at ourselves. Once they gave the news that the peas came on a ship from Canada and supposedly the place where the ship was was frozen, so it couldn't leave and that's why they didn't sell subsidised coffee for several months. That news unleashed many jokes and jokes on the internet and since then they haven't stopped, something always happens with the peas that delays the distribution of coffee "por la libreta" as we say here 😅.

Personally, I always make fun of my husband for the excessive amount of coffee he always drinks, he serves it in a mug, and I almost always tell him that what he needs is to serve it in a bucket 🪣 because it's too much.

Here is my cup of coffee, and yes, I know it's a bit big too...

Oh, dear, those peas! We had a peas & coffee episode that lasted two years here in Venezuela (2016-2017). I learned that people in the countryside were "brewing" peanuts, but that is actually something I'd like to try. You have the book over there (la libreta). We have CLAP here; a 100 gr bag of awful coffee is never missing in the CLAP bag.

I love your cup and saucer! ❤️

We are so similar in some things, Venezuela and Cuba!

We are! Hopefully, we will have happier anecdotes to tell in the ner future ☕️

Jaja yes, it's true, we have to see the good side.

Coffee with peas didn't know that, he asked me how it will affect the flavor. Governments really invent things that are unbelievable.🤭

I leave you a cup of coffee for this day, of course without peas. Ha ha.
You said a big mug.🤭☕untitled.gif

Well, imagine the taste hehe 🥴

I thought your husband is the coffee addict, but if that's your cup, it means you both consume the nectar of the gods, in large quantities. Just like that. The pea thing was really funny to me. Wow what a crazy thing to say.

Haha, yes here in Cuba everything is very crazy.

Hahaha it's true. My friends sent me 2 packages of "blended" coffee the last time I received a package from Cuba. It said in a note: so you don't miss coffee with peas. 🤭🤭🤭.

Haha, you do know what I'm talking about.

What an anecdote about the lost peas, if so, let them remain lost, so there is no way to buy them.
Your husband drinks a lot of coffee, give him an extra-large cup, that's how the problem ends.
