Bahamas Vacation: The Food

I promised to do more show and tell of our trip to the Bahamas two weeks ago. Today, a quick look at some of the delectables we enjoyed (or just eyed):

This Bahamas Goombay Punch was everywhere--from the supermarket aisles to the vending machines down the hall at our hotel. It's a sweet, pineapple-flavored soda. I skipped it though in favor of my usual Diet Coke.



One of our best meals was at a local Bahamian hangout called Twin Brothers. This was my dinner- "Bahama style" baked chicken, rice and beans, and fried plantains. It was delish. The kids ate plain chicken fingers...of course!



Twin Brothers is known for its daquiris--I sampled a half daquiri/half pina colada. Mmmm.



Thanks to the former British rule over the Bahamas, you can find all the Cadbury chocolate and other hard-to-find candy bars (Crunchie, Picnic, and Bounty) that Anglophiles like me enjoy. R. was skeptical of the Kit Kat wrappers which look different than here in the U.S.




When you travel with picky eaters, there's a good chance you'll end up at the Golden Arches, as we did in Nassau. R. and S. got Happy Meals which included these animal cookies. Who else remembers these? Grimace was always my favorite. By the way, I used Instamatic (my latest obsession) for this photo:



Next up: the prettiest scenery in the Bahamas, including the clearest Caribbean waters I've ever seen. Seriously, it looks like a swimming pool!
