520 1 $a"Food in the Caribbean reflects both the best and worst of the Caribbean's history. On the positive side, Caribbean culture has been compared with the popular stew, callaloo, an analogy that comes from the many different ethnic groups peacefully maintaining their traditions and customs while blending together, creating a distinct new flavor. On the negative side, many foods and cooking techniques derive from a history of violent European conquest, the importation of slaves from Africa, and the indentured servitude of immigrants in the plantation system. Within this context, students and other readers will understand the diverse island societies and ethnicities through their food cultures. Some highlights include the discussion of the Caribbean concept of "making do" - using whatever is on hand or can be found - the unique fruits and starches, the one-pot meal, the technique of jerking meat, and the preference for cooking outdoors."--BOOK JACKET.
