"Imagine standing mere inches away from flaring and sizzling Belizean culinary masterpieces, simmering to perfection.  Surrender to the enticing aromas as it hypnotizes each of your senses-we invite you to experience ALL this and more at the anticipated, 'Taste of Belize'... 

 

The fusion of cultural dishes provides visitors with a true sense of Belize’s diversity.  Creativity is a must, and a variety of secret ingredients challenges these chefs to add depth to their already unique Belizean dish.  The winner then walks away with the title of, 'Belize’s Master Chef'."

You Too Can Eat Like Royalty in Belize

You Too Can Eat Like Royalty in Belize | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Salbutes, panades, and garnaches are the food of kings!  Thanks go out to Ambergris Today for a great article on Belizean food, and the amazing diversity of it.

 

"One Belizean platter that definitely transcends all cultures in our beautiful country of ours has to be the Rice and Beans. I read somewhere that to truly sound like a local, you would have to say it on one word: “riceandbeanschickenandsalad”. The iconic Belizean dish - coconut white rice and red kidney beans served with stewed chicken and chunky potato salad and fried ripe plantains."
