If we look at a little bit of history, our origins in South America and the Caribbean are similar, aborigines who fought against the colonizers (Spanish, French, English), the Africans who were brought from their lands to ours. And all that mixture of races of common origins makes us very similar, in the end, we end up having many things in common, that's good, although the passage of time makes each one has its peculiarities, we are very similar indeed.

When I'm away from New York I can always find similar West Indian products in the Spanish areas. Also the Spanish section in supermarkets.
