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?
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.
fidel enjoyed ice cream a lot
if you eat ice cream, you’re eating communism
i understand it now
The things I would do to be Castro’s pet dairy cow…
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.

MFW i dream about giant glass of milk on my nightstand, but there’s only small Cuban flag there instead.
wut I’ve never heard of this
i’d think that the good ole’ fidel was more into rum, like a good latino boy at the sea level
I learned about this from Sam O’Nella
