It's a nice autumn evening in 1978 and you've just boarded Iberia's nonstop flight from Madrid to Havana, Cuba. The Americans may choose to boycott Cuba but the amount of European generated tourism is substantial with both scheduled and charter airlines offering direct flights to Havana. The benefit of flying to Cuba with Iberia is that they still offer a true First Class, aboard a venerable DC-8-61 no less. You love the DC-8's huge windows and the view of those powerful JT3D turbofans mounted off the wing just behind your window. You also love Iberia's inflight meal service. Tonight's menu has a large matte print world map from the 1800s, but the food within is perfectly suited to today's tastes. You happily accept a refill on your deliciously aged Tempranillo and open the menu to peruse the delights within...
