&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Qt9M8LtGUSb0VpJ3_MZ49JNO60DMFNeEBBlZ54lRoYes06wgwLy0mqHSupsiMCmjG7oScdEHQvNv8i1bfYYFXmanj_HQ6loVKcPKNeYWh6uj2DiYZ-lOkiwte9-zYHR_uGdfTgLTT2kc/s1600/tamarind.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;336&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Qt9M8LtGUSb0VpJ3_MZ49JNO60DMFNeEBBlZ54lRoYes06wgwLy0mqHSupsiMCmjG7oScdEHQvNv8i1bfYYFXmanj_HQ6loVKcPKNeYWh6uj2DiYZ-lOkiwte9-zYHR_uGdfTgLTT2kc/s640/tamarind.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A friends posts on Facebook that growing up Mexican in the Midwest means that “gringos” like his tequila, but dislike his tamarind (tamarindo in Spanish because in the end, it comes from Arabic and it is not a Spanish word) candy.  I reply that one doesn’t need to be a gringo to dislike tamarind, and that it is truly an acquired taste.  The friend takes down or hides the post. However, it made me thing about tamarind and mamey (mah-meh-ee).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mamey is or was, in my experience, one of the least popular fruits in Cuba where I spent the first twenty-one, almost twenty-two, years of my life.  Only my mother liked it, and those who have heard my stories about my mother, and those who know me (somewhat a reflection of her) understand that she is not typical (I could say that she is not a typical Cuban, but she is very much that, “not a typical human” is more accurate). But I digress.  People in Cuba did not care much for mamey.  Kids and adults alike preferred many other fruits.  Mangos were the favorite, then guayabas (guava), citrus fruits of all sorts, anón, guanábana, chirimoya (cherimoya), etc more or less in that order.  Even the weird mamoncillo, a fruit similar to tamarind, but “individually wrapped,” was more popular than the latter. Granted, taste was also influenced by scarcity, like everything else is in Cuba.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People didn’t like tamarind because it was sour.  We don’t shy away from sour tastes in most of the world, but we, humans in most Western traditions and in general, do not seek it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
People didn’t like mamey because it is bland. It is VERY bland.  It is barely sweet, and has a fleshy consistency that a lot of people dislike.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both are better processed.  “Batido de mamey,” or mamey milk shake has always been one way to enjoy it.  You add a lot of sugar, and it tastes better.  Still, that did not make it more popular in Cuba.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tamarind’s case is similar.  People can have tamarind candy, and tamarind water, and even add its flavor to soups (in Eastern and Southeastern Asian cuisines, for example), but that still won’t make it very popular, at least not in Cuba, and in my experience, not in Latin America in general.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, why do people now seek both fruits?  Mamey has become the center piece of the menu of a Miami culinary institution identified as one of the symbols of cubanía (Cubanness): El Palacio de los Jugos.  But, it is not only there where I see it happening. People go looking for it as if they were desperately seeking to hold on to their identity for dear life.  And when I say people, it is mostly those who were either born here and identify as Cubans, or came here while they were very young, and grew up in the US.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The same happens with tamarind among people who grew up in Mexican families in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an interesting phenomenon.  I can understand trying to hold on to the cultural identity passed down from their elders (most human groups do that for at least a few generations), but what I don’t understand is why use two of the least popular parts of each culture to do so. 
Are they asserting both their identification with their ancestry and their generational differences? In other words, are they trying to be both the same and completely different from the people they come from?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you are looking for an explanation from me, sorry, I don’t have one, but comments with your speculations are welcome. 
&lt;/div&gt;

desperate to get to nowhere&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

el cuello,&lt;br&gt;
la entrepierna,&lt;br&gt;
el olor agridulce de la axila y el oído externo.&lt;br&gt;

desesperados por llegar a ningún sitio&lt;br&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Para un cadáver exquisito que ha pedido que esto sea publicado aquí. &amp;nbsp;El relato fue &lt;a href=&quot;http://belascoainyneptuno.com/2013/04/05/puff-3-o-el-hombre-en-el-banco/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;originalmente publicado&lt;/a&gt;, gracias a la generosidad de &lt;a href=&quot;http://belascoainyneptuno.com/alexis-romay/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Alexis Romay&lt;/a&gt;, en &lt;a href=&quot;http://belascoainyneptuno.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;su blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
En el banco, tratando de regular su respiración entrecortada, volvió a
preguntarse qué carajo hacía allí. ¿Cómo podía haber olvidado aquel calor
infernal, aquella humedad sofocante, los insectos, los hedores?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES;&quot;&gt;Había llegado buscando un hombre.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES;&quot;&gt;Había llegado buscando un hombre a quien una vez conoció o pensó conocer. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES;&quot;&gt;Había llegado buscando un hombre a quien había amado o al menos eso se
había repetido todos estos años en las largas noches depresivas después de cada
relación fallida. Él sí le había amado. Estaba además seguro de que él aún le
amaría si volvieran a encontrarse en la misma ciudad y el mismo barrio.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES;&quot;&gt;Encontró lo que encuentran todos: lo mismo con más arrugas, churre, tizne y
un poquito de pintura nueva aquí o allá escondiendo las cicatrices del
cemento.&amp;nbsp; Descubrió nuevos hombres nuevos
y en dos días los vio a ellos también partir, partirse, mutar, ahuecarse y
seguir la marcha. Se aburrió muy pronto de sus pieles y sus sonrisas rotas y
sus colores subidos. Estos nuevos hombres nuevos eran hermosos, pero no eran su
hombre y al darse cuenta de ello, en un momento de rabia, maldijo entre dientes
a de Saint-Exupéry. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES;&quot;&gt;«Ya ves, le va muy bien en Italia. Revalidó su título de enfermero y su
‘amigo’ lo ha ayudado muchísimo» le dijo la madre del amante mientras le
enseñaba fotos de aquel alguien a quien había llegado buscando.&amp;nbsp; Se le veía sonriente, al menos en apariencia
sinceramente feliz y en algunas, junto a un señor de rostro afable y mucho
mayor.&amp;nbsp; Se sintió extrañamente feliz, reivindicado
y esperanzado. El desamor les unía en la distancia y quizá les uniría en la
cercanía. Luego vino, sin embargo, la estocada más trapera. El señor mayor no
era el ‘amigo’ del antiguo amante solamente un amigo de verdad. &amp;nbsp;El amante de su amante era joven, más joven
que él, mejor parecido y un hombre de éxito.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES;&quot;&gt;El asidero se rompi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: JA; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;&quot;&gt;ó y volvió a contemplar el mundo
desde el fondo del abismo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: JA;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES;&quot;&gt;Se fue a caminar por las ruinas de su infancia y sin darse cuenta casi
enciende un cigarrillo que como de la nada apareció entre sus dedos. Lo tiró al
suelo con asco porque de todos sus vicios, sus tantos vicios, fumar nunca fue
uno. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES;&quot;&gt;A media cuadra, jadeante, se encontró el parque. Allí estaba antes aquel derrumbe
en donde entre mierda y pestilencia había sido amado o al menos poseído,
penetrado, besado; es decir,&amp;nbsp; lo mismo o
casi.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES;&quot;&gt;¿Quién le hubiese podido decir que tantos años después aquí habría un
parque? Pensó entonces en lo equivocados que estaban aquellos que decían que
nada cambiaba en ese país. La prueba era este parque, nuevo, limpio, con un
banco (¡un banco en este barrio!).&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES;&quot;&gt;Se sentó a recuperar el aliento entre tanta humedad asfixiante y all&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;í le asaltaron a la vez los recuerdos y las caricias, las caricias de hace
tantos años y las que había evocado muchas veces en solitario. Se sintió otra
vez adolescente y la vez invadido por algo que no quiso detenerse a descubrir.
Le bastaban las caricias del amante que continuaban ahora navegando los mismos
lugares de antes pero con una energía nueva, metamórfica y casi feroz.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;La noche pasó.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;En la mañana, mientras el sol trataba de superar
las ruinas, un adolescente&amp;nbsp; pasó, como
cada domingo, medio ebrio aún y oliendo a piel extranjera, por el solar yermo a
media cuadra de su casa. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNoSpacing&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;Casi le sorprende el montículo nuevo, que de la
noche a la mañana había aparecido en el terreno, baldío desde hacía tanto. Casi,
porque al detenerse a mirar se encontró con el rostro de su tío mirándole sonriente
junto a su novio desde la fotografía abandonada en el suelo. La recogió para
llevársela a su madre y ya no miró más aquella lomita de polvo que comenzaba a
esparcirse con la brisa quejumbrosa de la mañana.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: ES; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-language: JA;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
