Cuba's ration book, or "libreta," as it is known among island residents, was once considered a hallmark of Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution, providing
a range of deeply-discounted products to all Cubans, including bread, fish, meat, milk, and cleaning and toiletry supplies.
Today, the crisis-racked government offers just a fraction of those products, and often, they arrive late, in poor quality or not at all.
