Top Five Delights of Caribbean Cuisine
Although Stan Black was previously the type to only recommend holidays to Mauritius, he recently spent some time in Cuba and has become an instant convert. Today, he's gonna share with us his favorite Caribbeans dishes. My mouth is watering already!! :)
It would be an absolute crime to take a holiday in Cuba or anywhere in the Caribbean and not sample some of the local delights on offer from any number of restaurants and street vendors. Pretty much every hour of every day, the air is filled with the aroma of the kind of herbs and spices guaranteed to stir even the toughest of souls. And given the fact that even a month in the region wouldn’t be enough to even scratch the surface of what’s on offer, you better think about prioritising what you want to try out this time around and what you’ll leave for next time. There will, after all, be a next time... there always is! Jerk Chicken - Chances are you might have already tried jerk chicken somewhere on Earth, but you’ve never tasted what it should be like ‘til you’ve had it in its homeland. You’ll probably find that everywhere you go around the Caribbean the mix of spices changes, but hands-down the best you’ll find is from the street vendor with the biggest queue of hungry locals. Think massive, juicy and tender hunks of blackened BBQ chicken with the kind of marinades you’ve never dreamed of and you’re about half way there!
Akee and Saltfish - The national dish of Jamaica, Akee and Saltfish is made of a fruit that looks a bit like a pear called Akee which when prepared looks pretty similar to scrambled eggs. The Saltfish part of the equation is salted cod, which is lavished with further seasoning and mixed with the Akee to make a dish that’s eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper and snacks alike. It’s an institution in its own right.
Meat Roti - A meat roti is, unsurprisingly, a roti filled with any variety of meat including beef, lamb and chicken. The meat is mixed with potatoes and split peas before being spiced seven ways from Sunday and summarily stuffed into a roti, to then be stuffed into your salivating mouth. Handy street food at its finest and good for any time of day. Curried Goat - Naturally guaranteed to raise eyebrows here and there, but goats to folk in the Caribbean are what cows and sheep are to the rest of us…food that hasn’t been prepared yet. So, if looking for a taste of the local cuisine there’s little better than curried goat, which you can have as spicy or mild as you like. The goat itself is slow-cooked for hours to create a final dish that melts in your mouth and tastes somewhere right in the middle between lamb and beef…it’s to die for!
Mountain Chicken - And just to round things off on a decidedly controversial note, those with a taste for the exotic should not overlook the opportunity to try mountain chicken. Don’t be fooled though, this is actually the local name given to a dish made of frog legs – there’s not a trace of chicken in the recipe. Understandable though as far as the name change goes – the frog used to make mountain chicken is known as the Crappo, and who on Earth wants a plate of that for dinner?
