Of all the things to have in Wisconsin, Cuban Panini…really? What makes this Cuban? The fact that it has ham and cheese? I had to try it, to test whether or not it was actually up to par with what I know to be Cuban cuisine. I suppose there was some distant similarity to a Cuban sandwich. There was mustard, mayo, ham and cheese. However, their choice of provolone cheese doesn’t go with the standard swiss (I think) that is used in Cuban sandwiches. This was supposed to have chicken, but upon biting into it, it quickly became obvious that it had no chicken, instead it was pork. Hey, at least that’s more authentic.It wasn’t bad, but somehow it didn’t feel Cuban; it felt like a bad imitation of a Cuban sandwich, a bastard child if you will. It had banana peppers for goodness sakes. Cuban sandwiches are supposed to have pickles. But you know, being one of the few Cubans at the University of Wisconsin, only that small bit of us would know its inauthenticity.

Today was the new student convocation at the Khol Center. The Sifting and Winnowing motto of the University of Wisconsin made me proud to be a part of it. At a time when the quest for knowledge was being silenced, when society believed that its present condition and knowledge was all that could be attained, the University of Wisconsin declared that professors should not be dismissed for visionary ideas. That wherever the truth might lead, those at the University of Wisconsin would follow it no matter the consequences.
