Childhood Memories With Mom! | Jenny Lorenzo

[@valentinakopka4753]

I feel like Jenny is more Cuban than her mom

[@mayaandrews7396]

I swear when we let my abuela babysit my dog he comes home bathed in violeta 😂🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺

[@RosaBrandDesigns]

My husband and I moved to Texas with my mother (Houston area) and the Cuban food here...there is no Cuban food here (not really). So every Thanksgiving I make pork or ham croquetas, pasteles de carne, lechon, and arroz con frijoles negros. If I am feeling frisky, I make pan Cubano. Mom makes the flan. And we have a Cuban feast. My South Africa husband absolutely loves it. Thank goodness.

[@CHACALYAkA]

Rosa Brand is true there is not even one restaurant of Cuban stuff the same thing happens in Arizona

[@Cupcakeprincess85]

There is a Cuban food truck here now in Houston called The Cuban Spot really good food

[@patrrrricia]

Bahahaha my moms side of the family is from Peru, so growing up, I thought it was called "Viva Peru" 😂😂 Also, where's the baby colonia? I swear it looks the same as Violeta jajaja

[@banananutbreadable]

Tricia Salazar I finally figured out it wasn't "Viva Perú" at around 18 years old. I'd never given it a second thought and just accepted that's what it was called! I felt so dumb, haha!

[@MariaJacobe12]

"vivaporu vs viva Peru" JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA

[@karensoto5078]

lol me too!! haha

[@heytheremia9350]

My mom is Peruvian too and my dad is Cuban so I grew up with lots of crazy traditions and superstitions and of course constant fight over which is better Cuba or Peru😂😂

[@merrivideo]

Jajajaja. We don't have Violeta

[@julinhaswrld]

I'm not Cuban or from Miami but so much of the things you talk about my Brazilians parents do/did/have, including having me coming out of the hospital after being born wearing a yellow outfit with red shoes. It's the little things that my parents do that make me love what I am even more. 💕🇧🇷🙌🏽

[@de3904]

In Mexico and California we have those Maria cookies but different packaging also I Mexican 🇲🇽

[@ameliacancel8278]

The strawberry candies have a ORIGIN ???😮

[@andreaanimallover2045]

I'm Mexican and I call the vapor rub ''Vicks'' haha I luv how relatable all latin people can be. 👍🏼

[@technochica]

Just moved to L.A. and discovered that this Christmas I'll have to do without pasteles and Coquito because the stuff is scarce here! Savagery.

[@JennyLorenzo]

Giiiiirl. I'm going to Portland for Christmas. Even less chances of pastelitos. Jajaja! The closest thing we have to that here is Porto's.

[@casuallypretentious]

Oh I'm sure there's a food cart in that has them. There's a food cart for anything in Portland.

[@alessandramila903]

Savi Malfitano ughhh the struggle

[@ericking1000]

Savi Malfitano portos

[@jitensha8647]

I visited L.A. two years ago, and they had pastelitos de guayaba at "El Super"!

[@cloudburstt]

Jenny. You and your mom are adorable ☺

[@juand9429]

The communion book, violetta, eckerds, and vivaporu!!! The feels omg!! Btw, my in laws are getting a "mal de ojo" pendant for my child, and I never went through that or remember.

[@stephaniecruz6247]

My family had my sister's baby teeth made into a bracelet haha I thought it was just my family being weird I didn't know it was a thing

[@riv05060]

In Guatemala we call it Vicks

[@codyparkey239]

same

[@aliciamares4286]

riv05060 I'm Mexican and we call it Vicks too

[@diegop622]

riv05060 I'm Mexican from Northern California most of the Mexicans I've met call it vaporu

[@lmonroy3084]

riv05060 Better: El vick

[@airari24]

riv05060 Dominicans call it vaporu

[@Nilda76]

In Puerto Rico we call it Vick's.

[@ritzyarrow402]

Nilda Mercedes true

[@dylankelly3657]

JENNY OMG im half Cuban and my abuela made a necklace out of all her grandchildrens first tooth!!!!!!!!!!

[@JennyLorenzo]

NO WAY! I felt so alone in this all these years!!

[@Ar9132]

My cousin had them and I remember wanting them so bad pero el ratoncito perez se los llevo.

[@michelleramos410]

Jenny, I never heard of that tradition but my coworker from Ecuador had a necklace made with her son's first tooth. As a Dominican-American I can relate to a lot of other stuff. We say vivaporú too! OH! Out here in Northern Virginia we had Agua de Florida.

[@claudiaescate9573]

I am peruvian and my mom tried to make that with my baby teeth but somehow they broke 🙁

[@ChicaECUA24]

OH MY GOD. MY GRANDMA MADE A NECKLACE AND EARRINGS OUT OF MY BABY TEETH!!! I THOUGHT THAT WAS ONLY AN ECUADORIAN THING

[@vanessadelrocio7699]

Crystal Acuna Ikr

[@poisonapple6138]

I grew up in Miami and now I'm in the exact opposite of Miami. Salt Lake City, UT. There is nothing reminiscent of Miami here, so I have to either make it myself or talk about how everything is better in Miami. Because it is.

[@KohCuiWen]

make a video on that guava saucee

[@paperzing5533]

I'm Cuban and left Miami 15 years ago (my kids were small)...Niña, you cover it all and bring back all those memories - los buenos tiempos!! I make my girls watch you "para educarlas en ser cubana". Keep it up!! "I la yoo"!!❤

[@christiancruz987]

I'm from Miami and I'm Cuban lol. I remember all of these things. I used to live in Kendall

[@KyunChan93]

Haha the jaundice prevention clothing reminded me of the story that when I was born the doctors thought I had jaundice and put me under the light for a few days. Turns out the doctors didn’t realize my mom was Asian and that I was normal 😂

[@juliencassidyofficial]

"The life of the party with your albondigas & your earrings with your teeth on it." LMFAO!!! DEAD!

[@lugy1010]

Hello Jenny. I just want to say that my family (Guatemalans in Los Angeles) have the same ideology when it comes to making teeth into jewelry. my mother saved all my nephews first teeth and dent them to Guatemala to have them made into earings and a necklace. so girl one more thing that our cultures have in common

[@lamoskgr]

lugy1010 wow that's so interesting 😁

[@livininthemusic]

Your videos always give me intense nostalgia to growing up in Miami, which then makes me laugh, because there are some weird Cuban/Miami traditions that are totally bizarre looking back

[@BriiCosgallaMakeup]

Here in México it's also a tradition that babies go home from the hospital wearing yellow!!

[@CristinaBaskette]

Pan Cubano - - what I wouldn't give for a loaf. I also can't find guava paste, or frozen croquetas. At least I can mix together orange, lemon, and lime juice to approximate naranja agria, lol.

[@itslizrod]

I'm Mexican American and I grew up with Mexican candies, and pan dulce, also carnicerias. Now I can't find a lot of the Mexican goodies and se me antoja!!!!! I know there's some around Seattle but I gotta look!!!!

[@lizbethcastillo5229]

Lizeth Rodriguez Here in New York there’s a lot of Mexican stores that sell all the goods.

[@yunier84]

recién empiezo a ver tus vídeos y estoy encantado siempre que veo personas así como tu que mantienen en alto sus raíces latinas y esa cubania me siento muy orgulloso de donde vengo gracias jenny

[@semisweetchild]

Thank you for your videos! growing up in Iowa with just my mom and my dad's German/Czech family I had no idea how Cuban I really was. I had a tooth necklace too! The kids at school thought it was so weird and gross that I never wore it again! And the violeta! I literally had a smell memory when you brought it up! It was like my grandma was in the room!

[@sofiapellot5968]

Can we just talk about how Cubans and Puerto Ricans literally have soo many things in common that its not even funny . Lol I love that we have so many things in common #quevivanlosLatinos

[@v3toscano]

I love to see my great friend Mercy, and Jenny this is awesome.

[@3auka88]

yes the strawberry candy!!!! I see it everywhere in peoples houses but NEVER in stores ... where can I find them???

[@mad3inh3ll]

Everything you mentioned I have in my house. I’m Colombian but when you live in Miami you grow up con todo los Cubanos. Love u guys

[@MsOrchidBouquet]

We’re from Spain and have some of those customs!! I have a friend with a baby teeth necklace. There you go. Blame this shit on us. LOL!, Oh, and Galletas María! They’re a staple in every home. My son has them for breakfast every day. It’s so funny watching your videos because so many things are the same as here. It’s incredible how our culture has expanded and grown in different directions over the years.

[@millieroman7194]

Well, I live here in SoCal, but I'm of Cuban and Colombian heritage. I have family in Hialeah, so when I go visit it is a must to bring back guava, guanabana, chorizo español, dried bacalao, canned squid in ink, jars of papa criolla, pandebono mix, dried guascas etc. long story short I fly Southwest (2 checked bags fly free!) out there with one suitcase half full of my stuff and fly back with a suitcase and a half full of groceries. Btw I love your work Jenny! You're awesome! From a half Cubanita fan! ❤️

[@kainaarizcurinaga3790]

Bolivian Guatemalan here. living in Germany, can't find strawberry candy, hipoglos, bonobon, yuca, etc etc :'( waiting for packages from home :D

[@dianahoms675]

Kaina Arizcurinaga hi im from the netherlands and they sell the strabbery Candy at the wibra store

[@delilahleal3356]

When the dog has the same name as you😂❤

[@llGemini19]

Omg, I'm so jealous!! I'm from Miami, too. And the thing I miss the absolute most from home is El Brazo Fuerte bakery! Yo quiero croqueticas de jamon, y pastelitos de guayaba, jupiña, materva... fuck it yo quiero ir a La Carreta para comer me un platazo de pollo a la milanesa con arroz blanco y platano maduro frito!! I'm so hungry now!

[@amandag570]

Sexclipse La Carreta 😭😭

[@CHACALYAkA]

Amanda G es un restaurante cubano qué hay en miami

[@GIR1992]

Omgosh, my dad did the same thing with my teeth! He has it on a necklace! Sooooo Cuban/ Miami bro!

[@TheAdrianMiguelShow]

Every single thing you showed us reminds me so much of my childhood. I relate to you so much. Especially Rico’s merenguitos 😂

[@mariafernandanallim5318]

In argentina everyone pronounces Vicvaporú! Jajaaja and I had a friend who had her first tooth made into a charm she wore on a bracelet or necklace. Everyone told her that was weird, but now she has a kid and she did the same jaja

[@mandilaz]

I still have my Violeta from when I was little, and this video is so relatable because I'm Cuban-American too and I live in Miami😂

[@Lelii321]

PANA !!!!!!! (Bread fruit) by far the thing I most the most from Puerto Rico

[@gewing26]

My abuela told me the connection between Cubans and the Color Yellow is actually due to the Santeria Orisha Oxum.. Who is also worshipped as Nuestra señora de la caridad (Patron Saint of Cuba). Yellow is Oxums favourite colour apparently.

[@krizia-that-one-person]

My family calls it Bix (Im Mexican)

[@eslayaya3193]

From Miami and Cuban American ❤️❤️❤️ I know all of that

[@angelicaa.a]

Omggggggg I’m Cuban!!!! And I have like a cabinet filled with royal violets??😂😂😂

[@CrustofCreation]

Sibling Tag with your sister por favorrrrrr😃

[@bettyv3163]

😂😂😂 my bro and I make up songs too omg I thought we were the only ones, love you Jenny 💜💜💜

[@neycitrejo]

The strawberry candy can also be found here, all the abuelas love it. The guava can be found at the 99 on los robles (most of the time).

[@rosah64124]

Agua de violetas!!! yes!

[@Skeirrr]

Your mom is REALLY beautiful!!! 😍😍😍😍

[@eolivlpn1]

As a cuban in Tulsa, I'd kill for a pastelito!

[@JennTheRebel456]

I know it's not fully Spanish related, but when I moved to Indiana and then, Idaho, from my homestate of PA, I had the hardest time finding three things...... 1. The "Ethnic" section of any given grocery store(back home anything Spanish/Chinese/Jewish/etc. related foods were grouped together in one section. Same goes for ethnic hair products. Idaho...not so much.). You want Goya products? Good luck....they're usually scattered all throughout the store, if they have any at all😧. And forget trying to find the frozen Goya pastry shells to make pastelleos(hopefully I spelled that right). 2. Cheese steak meat and frozen perogies! I'm not from Philly, nor am I PA Dutch, but dang it, I love me some SteakUmms and Mrs. T perogies! I managed to find the SteakUmms, but the perogies are not Mrs.T and the ones they do offer are so sad, it's a waste of money to buy them! 3. Wawa's, Sheetz, and Turkey Hill Has Stations. Nope, sorry, no Turkey Hill tea OR Icy Tea for me, either! 😭 *Bonus* 4. Dunkin' Donuts. Nope. None in the entire state. Thank goodness we have family that can(hopefully) bring us some goodies from our home state sometimes! That takes the sting out of leaving a lil' less harsh. Good video! Blessings to you!

[@MiguelGonzalez-ei9og]

Girl, check out El Mambi in Glendale and (if you don't mind the long drive) El Mundo Market in Bell. El Mundo has good fritas, both sell violetas, but they usually charge double of what it could be found in Florida.

[@melaniegarcell]

Finally a Cuban American channel I can relate to!!🇨🇺

[@annieromero145]

I haven't gone to a birthday party in a while, but I remember those huge boxes of croquetas from Publix

[@calikatsai]

Now I know why you're so wonderful and where you get your sense of humor!

[@wandaabreu2424]

I miss so much El dulce DE Leche con guayaba it's sooo good BTW my from is from Dominican Republic

[@lazarol616]

I'm still in Miami and all you said it so true

[@lizzettg88]

I'm such a BIG FAN!!!!! Youre videos keep my grandma's spirit alive especially since she's passed 6 months ago. She's actually buried in Caballero Rivero Cementary on 8th Street.

[@addyscollege]

I live in Scranton, PA. Cannot find pastelitos, or guava paste, or La Llave coffee and many many more things

[@mydailystruggle-angielopez7648]

Omg marias i love them

[@jhonyermo]

Cannot find Apple Butter nor Pimento Cheese Sandwich spread in LA. This is cool question. In my class on Methods of Sociology (survey section) we had to so a survey on the stuff you could not find in Pensacola that you missed from your home city. . THAT is how I found out that in Rhode Island, COFFEE MILK is the kids #1 treat! Eclipse Coffee milk.

[@Jennifercita]

We Nicas don't use Vicks, we use Zepol. But I live in Miami and real talk, I love Navarro, and the perfume I wore as a kid was Colonia lol.

[@AbbyG000]

My dad is from Coyuca De Benitez Gro. and over there they have a lime soda called yoli,and they only sell it in Guerrero and i haven't had one in years !!

[@videomixer101]

I moved from the DC area down to Savannah, Georgia for school and I cannot find Inca Kola down here. My mom's Peruvian and Inca Kola with some pollo ala brasa is like having fried chicken and a coca cola in the south. But unfortunately, there is no grocery store that sells Inca Kola and zero pollo ala brasa or Peruvian restaurants in the area. There was a restaurant in the mall that sold something similar to pollo ala brasa and had Inca Kola but they closed down the first year I moved here.

[@lapachanga755]

So cute.

[@sandraochoaofficial]

Love your videos!! I travel a lot for work and i always show them to my coworkers in Colorado.... they always se cagan de la risa!!!! Thank you!!!

[@ligorable]

I'm from San Antonio, TX and I could just about kill for buñuelos. And tamales. There is a good Pupusas restaurant here in Denver, but it's a treat.

[@rob2face737]

[@delaneym.7412]

[@athia37]

I can't find "dulce de membrillo "(quince paste) ,all the Urugayan and Argentine women wore "coloña de Heno de Pravia" (smells like Jean Nate),cant find "facturas Argentinas"(pastries and doughnuts)and forget getting asado like the gauchos and my family made,unless we make it ourselves,with home made chimichurri sauce.Hard to find oro 18 kilates in the U.S.A...But,over all, still love the good old U.S.A...
