Eastern Cuban is based on criollo cooking and has been influenced by Caribbean cuisines,  with the exception of not using peepers. Common ingredients are Cuban oregano, bay leaves, garlic, cumin and onion. Rice and beans, Moros y Cristianos, are sometimes served in a soup known as frijoles colorado. Main courses are usually pork or beef and vianda, such as yuca,  potato, plantains, malanga, unripe bananas and corn.

Rice and beans are  found throughout Cuba, and vary by region. Also popular in Cuba are tamales,  made using corn flour and pork meat, wrapped in corn leaves and boiled. Tamales and Black Bean soup have remained part of the modern Cuban cuisine.
