Cuisine Throughout the history, St. Lucia’s cuisine has been influenced by French, West Indian and Creole food, and its most popular dishes are pepper pot stew, callaloo and fried jackfish. Shellfish and fish are a daily dish, as well as vegetables like cassava, dasheen or taro, and sweet potatoes. As far as fruits are concerned, this category includes coconuts, bananas, mangoes, papayas, pineapples, guavas, passion fruit, and soursop. As for alcoholic drinks, St. Lucian people usually have beer and rum.
While many of the chefs in St. Lucia draw heavily upon the spices and garnishes of Creole cuisine, the island's fish fries, hotel restaurants, and unpretentious beach bars ensure that the overall fare is varied, international, and compelling. |
