Caribbean CUISINE

A blend of Chinese, Arawak Indian, French, Indian,

British, African, and Spanish cuisines is what makes

Caribbean food so unique. Stews made from meats

(such as goats) and vegetables (such as tomatoes) are

popular foods in the Caribbean.

The food in Caribbean is very piquant, tangy, fragrant,

and spicy. The Arawak Indians and the Caribs were

two native tribes that lived in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and

the Dominican Republic. From them came the love ofchili peppers and other spicy food as well as

barbecuing and using grills.
