First job when we get to a new , inhabited destination, is to clear customs. Next stop is usually a coffee shop, in search of the perfect cappuccino (Cotton Tree is still the best so far) ... Our first meal in a new location is often a "local" meal out as we have usually depleted our meat and produce supply, or we just want to check out the local food. After a grocery shop our first on-board preferred meal is cold meat and salad or meat and 3 vege.
Chicken breast and pork fillets have generally been quality cuts, inexpensive and in good supply throughout the Caribbean. We haven't been adventurous enough to try some of the unidentifiable meats (to us) yet...in fact, probably isn't going to happen. We are happy enough with our international culinary sampling to date without going overboard (no pun intended).
Jazz up the basic:
- Add a big squeeze of honey to carrots whilst cooking, then serve with butter and dill (from our new herb garden).
- Mashed potatoes are creamy with a good dollop of sour cream and grated cheese.
- Add garlic, leek, mushrooms and onion to pan while frying meat, add creme fraische upon completion.
