It's spaghetti bolognese with a banana.

I love it.

No, chopped up on the side.

Yeah, I'll just say grab a bit on the side with a bit of spaghetti bolognese.

No, I have it all together.

Only thing I can't do banana with, I've learned through the years, is any kind of seafood.

Okay, so you can't have like... Just with seafood and a banana.

It's an acquired taste, I will say.

I mean, I want to say give it a go, but I have a feeling you're definitely not going to like it.

It's just because I grew up with it.

I feel, I mean, I was born in Miami, so technically I'm American, but I'm first born of my Cuban family.

And my whole family's Cuban, literally grandparents, aunts and uncles, obviously mom and dad, everybody's Cuban.

And I was raised learning Spanish first, so I spoke Spanish before I learned English.

I learned English at school.

I grew up listening to all the...

popular Cuban music and dancing and music was always part of our family in the house.

We just, any reason to have a party, any reason to get together and dance.

It was tough because they were an immigrant family.

So I shared at one point a room with my mom and my dad and my brother, the four of us in one bedroom in my grandparents' house.

So it wasn't like an apartment.
