If
you take Belize cheap tickets, you get the opportunity to enjoy an
exotic meal. The people of Belize have own characteristics of cooking.
The basis of their food is “soup”: a mixture of root vegetables,
fish offal, pig tails and water brought to a boil. Meal of the Maya
is not found in pure form almost, except in the forlorn villages in
southern Belize. The most common dish there is “caldo”,
chicken stew, less beef, corn and root crops. Mexican food is widespread,
especially at breakfast. They serve a variety of options for tostadas,
sababutes and casadillas (very tasty cakes and cheese), soup escabeche
of chicken, lime juice, onions, and peppers for lunch. Seasoned travelers
advised to eat smaller portions of this meal, even if you have insurance,
because this food is very specific.
The fish and seafood in the menu dominate, of course, in the Ambergiz Kay
Kay Caulker islands and in coastal towns. Reef fish is always available
in stock.
Seafood cooked by steaming or grilled are usually served in the Creole
style, when a fish stew with vegetables – with peppers, onions, tomatoes,
and seasoned with coconut milk. Meat is cooked a lot. Belize version of
such meal as scrambled eggs, various steaks, empanadas, burgers of all
kinds, fried in coconut oil and salted pork with rice, beans and sauce “rekardo”,
fish or beef with sauce, grilled chicken, as well as such exotic dishes
as Tinamou, wild pig peccary, agouti, iguana and so on is very popular.
Cocktails made of papaya, mango, grapefruit and oranges are very popular
in Belize. It is refreshing surprisingly and delicious drink for the morning
as breakfast and afternoon ($ 1-1.50 for a big glass). Coffee is not particularly
popular in Belize. The national beer Belikin is a favorite of alcohol.
It is very pleasant to the taste, made in three variations: Regular, Lighthouse
Lager, and dark Stout. Average price is $ 1.50. Be careful with alcohol:
you can insure yourself from liability, but if you step into the fray,
it will be delayed.
Like any other Caribbean nation, Belizeans are respected rum. Brand “One
barrel” is considered the best in all the Caribbean and is a heavy,
dark blend of spices, and it is a nice souvenir back home. The most popular
drink after beer is a cocktail of coconut rum with pineapple juice. Tourists
and residents of Belize drink it often, because it has a good taste.
