Rice in a lunch of a sugar worker on a plantation, vicinity of Guanica, Puerto Rico? (LOC)

    Jack Delano did work for the FSA and finally settle down in Puerto Rico. I remember hearing stories about him traveling throughout the Caribbean documenting workers for the FSA. His son continued in his footsteps and has a major exhibition on Ellis Island. Guanica is a town in Puerto Rico. Not sure why the title has a question mark at the end.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    rigglord, Glad you're enjoying the photos! Because the title does not appear in brackets, it is transcribed from an original source. Generally, a title is transcribed from the original picture, or from a photographer's logbook or negative jacket. If the picture carries no caption a title is devised from another source and displayed in brackets. Devised titles are written by Library staff, or they might come from a published book illustration or a former owner.

    I am sure that was a delicious meal, after a backbreaking morning... growing up in Puerto Rico, I had the previleged to enjoy raw sugar cane, this image is nostalgic in a way. Thank you.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The frugal kitchen (photo's & recipes), and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • Carlos Alfaro said:
    i think that is probably the remnants of rice and beans rather than papaya. Rice and beans has historically been *the* staple dish in PR homes and the beans in PR are cooked with either pumpkin and/or potato and that's what it seems to be there in the container on the right.

    Al igual que Carlos Alfaro pienso que lo que queda en la friambera son los remanentes del arroz con habichuelas y papas.

    Carlos Alfaro Eso es muy correcto Carlos . en la foto se aprecia es Arroz y Papas podria ser Bacalao guisado con papas. ❤

Harvesting sugar cane in a burned field, vicinity of Guanica, Puerto Rico. Burning the sugar cane gets rid of the dense leaves and makes cutting the unharmed stalks easier (LOC)
