Caribbean cuisine echoes the culinary influences of Africa, France, Spain, India and Holland. In this water-soaked, tropical locale, fresh fruits and lush fruits make up a large portion of the Caribbean diet. Meals are large family affairs full of simple and satisfying dishes. Meals usually include rice and beans, a main dish like brown-stewed chicken, and a vegetable such as roasted breadfruit.
1. Go to roadside stands and shacks to try some of the Caribbean's best food, from fritters to jerk pork.
2. Meal ingredients can vary greatly on the islands. When dining out, ask your server about the dishes, because one island's pepperpot might be another island's callaloo.
