FOOD, SHOPPING & PEOPLE
Eating & drinking in the Caribbean
Avocados and mangos can grow to the size of a human head in the Caribbean so it’s easy to get your five a day.Bakes – fried or baked dough – are a feature of breakfast around the Caribbean. In St Lucia, they’re often served with rich cocoa tea, while in Dominica, they come with saltfish.
In Trinidad and Tobago, thick corn soup made with chunky veg and meats is the pick-me-up street food after hours dancing at an outdoor party or fete.
Doubles is cheap, fast food, sold on the street in Trinidad and Tobago. It’s two pieces of fried flatbread (hence the name) slathered in curried chickpea sauce.
People & language in the Caribbean


Gifts & shopping
Pick up some spices while on Grenada, the Caribbean's 'Spice Island', and if you're in Haiti, look out for the rare Haitian Bleu variety of coffee.Pick up some Angostura rum or bitters in Trinidad, where it's made.
In St Lucia, look out for the colourful totems made from old telegraph poles, made by local man Zaka, a shipwright-turned-artist.
Markets in St Lucia sell pretty little bird feeders made from coconut shells.
You will find elegantly dressed Muñecas Limé dolls throughout the Dominican Republic, easily recognisable because they have no facial features.
