Married to a Puerto Rican woman I met and married in Iowa after law school, with a Puerto Rican mother-in-law who lives with us and cooks for us, I appreciate the references to picadillo (called by them Picadillo Cubano, and definitely no raisins) as somewhat similar. I still pick out the olives in it. I guess I'm still very Iowan. Thanks for yet another enjoyable read.
