About the food of the Turks & Caicos Islands
Being the first Culinary Ambassador of the Turks and Caicos
Islands, it is with pride that I share foods that are unique
to the Islands like seafood such as conch, lobster and fish.
We also offer traditional Caribbean dishes like goat, oxtail,
chicken etc.
We are specially known for our tasty Saturday morning
souse and homemade desserts like cocoa lumps, cream
cakes, milk duece, potato bread, tamarind preserve and
fudge.
One dish that is unique to my country is the national dish;
peas and harmny (grits) with conch served with fried
or steamed fish and a side of avocado and sweet fried
plantains. If I were to go into detail about how this was
prepared we would be writing a cookbook instead of an
interview, LOL.
