Recipe Request: West Indian Recipes for My Son and Me
My son is adopted, and mixed-race...we know his father was from the West Indies, but not much else. As my wife and I are among the palest people on earth, and as he was five when we adopted him, he's cottoned on to the fact that he's not our biological child.
However, I really do want him to learn something about his heritage, and food seems like a great jumping off point. He'll eat anything (I mean it...play-dough and elastic bands aren't safe) but I thought if he and I could learn to cook some West Indian dishes together, it could be just a fun thing for us to do. We've done fried plantains, but I am eager for any recommendations. If you submit something tasty and great, I promise you he'll jump up and down with happiness (and lord it over his little sister).
So any tips on Caribbean or West Indies cooking would be appreciated. Problem is, we don't eat chicken (we keep them as pets). Sorry for that...I know it must complicate matters.
