The most exotic food was definitely the Iguana Egg (see "Gracie Rock" heading under Places We Visited), but we really enjoyed trying all of the other new foods.
Our favorite was the homemade coconut pie that Sandy made, after Ken split the nut open and Carl shredded the meat. It was a lot of work, but we all enjoyed it tremendously.
Locally grown, fresh pineapple and papaya were a real treat. We often had mango jam on our toast.
Rice and red beans (different from our local spicy red beans and rice!) are a real staple there. They are usually flavored with coconut milk.
Barbecue chicken is another common food of Belize. It is called barbecue for the method of cooking (rotisserie over open-pit) rather than the sauce we associate with the name. The chicken from a local Lebanese Restaurant was quite yummy.
Custard Apple is a fruit that looks similar to a large round apple, but it is very soft in the middle when ripe. You scoop out the center and add sweetened condensed milk to make a creamy delight.
Word of warning - anything ordered that lists "pepper" is referring to those hot habanero peppers!
At the market we met a vendor on a three-wheel bike selling homemade Sour Sap ice cream cones. They had a unique fruity flavor.
Also at the market we tried tamarind fruit. They are in a shell much like a peanut. You suck the meat for a sour burst of flavor much like a "Sweet-Tart". A drink similar to lemonade is made from them.
Cassava Bread is an unleavened bread made from the Cassava Root. It is kind of tough and eaten with bean dip.
A Mexican style bakery supplied us with some tasty pastries.
