Haven't seen Cuban Chinese, but I did spend a holiday (I forget if it was X-mas or Thanksgiving) with some Chinese Jamaicans last year and the food was pretty awesome. I also read someplace that Caribbean Chinese food is very big in Toronto.

I'll have to look for the Cuban Chinese. I imagine that Miami would be the place to find it.

Gunny, here's a short article that gives a reasonable history of the Chinese in Jamaica.

During Jamaica's flirtation with Socialism in the 1970s, large numbers of Chinese Jamaicans fled to Miami and Toronto especially. One of them, Michael Lee Chin, became a billionaire and one of the 500 richest men in the world.

Very interesting, thanks.
