A Cuban woman living in the United States recently shared a TikTok video that has sparked laughter and comments from her followers, showcasing how she welcomed her cousin who just arrived from Cuba. According to her account, her relative landed with a ravenous appetite, and she decided on a unique way to welcome him: by feeding him!
"You grab every piece of beef in the fridge to give that stomach a real shock. And when I say every piece, I mean it: the steak, the flank, the picanha. Everything," explained Aniadys (@aniadys_aaa on TikTok), as she detailed her plan to satisfy her cousin's hunger, who, she commented, was ready to eat anything in sight.
The video shows her cooking various cuts of meat, preparing for her cousin's voracious hunger. "Here, I started cooking some meat to get it warmed up. His eyes nearly popped out of his head. When he saw all the meat, he almost passed out," she narrated while showing images of her cousin's reaction to the impressive spread.
The responses have been swift. Many congratulated the cousin on his arrival in the United States, while others commented on the way the meat was cooked.
