Belizian food

My sister asks, so I will tell. Belizian food is not something that can be easily categorized. If you go to a restaurant in some of the smaller cities, you'll likely be disappointed. They only serve the national dish of "rice & beans", plantain, and stewed chicken or beef. No menus. Just your choice of beef or chicken. VERY tasty, but boring after a few days. Most people cook at home, and that's where the cool Belizian dishes are prepared. If you get to a nice restaurant in Belize City, you can also sample some of those cool dishes. There's fish, lamb, a dozen different pastries and breads, and even some Mexican fusion dishes. Those who don't like their food spicy should beware. Belizian heat is legendary. Pay heed or your asshole will hold you accountable...
