Cuisine / Floribbean Food / Recipes

Visitors have a huge choice of all types of restaurants, especially in the main resorts, including Greek, Italian, Spanish, local and traditional specialities, from fast food to gourmet standard. Of course, there are also the wellknown chains like "Denny's" and "McDonald's". The speciality of Florida is "Key Lime Pie", which you must try.

  Cuisines of the world   -   Article by By Errol Croft
Before you eat many meals in Florida, you're going to run into the term Floribbean cuisine. No one seems to have a definitive explanation of what Floribbean is, except that it was first used in south Florida, notably Miami, where the chefs were preparing a lighter version of Caribbean favorites. Known as the "mango gang" , these chefs were frying less and going lighter on oils. Obviously, the term is a combined form of the words Florida and Caribbean, so diners can expect to find lots of Florida's seafood selections, fresh fruits and local vegetables prepared with the islands' traditional tropical ingredients like mangos and papayas, coconut milk, plantains, yams, okra, squashes, chilies and legumes .........
  Foodies
On the curriculum vitae of a foodie, "eating" is listed as a hobby. The foodie lives to eat, and to eat to live is definitive boredom. A true foodie clings to all things culinary. From soup to nuts, a foodie seeks out the fun stuff about fine fare, along with the arcane, the academic, the in-depth, and the latest. To find the perfect cheese or the best macaroon recipe is life's work.
