small island, vast cuisine  -Various reviews of  bajan style food.

Both My Mom & Nana had "sweet hands". [they could throw down in the kitchen]
I come nowhere close to their skill, in cooking.
 
We like our spice, peppers & variety,  it's a synthesis 
of west african, caribbean,english  & taino cooking styles.
flying fish, shredded pickled codfish, with peppers & tomato salad on toast or crackers  in the mornings{<--My Mom's favorite, like buljol or kippers]   christophene au gratin with cheese & breadcrumbs
Cou -cou, excellent fish cakes, a lot of seafood ( that's right down my Husband's alley ) yam fritters & stuffed crab, stuffed plantain to stuffed snapper!  really big on sauces,   --cakes, sweet breads & pastry too. They loooove  tea, good rum & mauby [a recipe is somewhere on this blog, archived]
 
The choice hot sauces is closer to trinidad's [matouks calypso, or bajan lotties] 
 
here are a few links to explore in barbados other than  oistins [but oistins is still big  fun!].

We we're able to hear the Isley Brothers  but not actually see them, the joint was jammed packed! {& i'm kinda of "height challenged" & all my taller Husband could see was blue lights glare from the stage and the back of a bunch of big  ol'  heads .
so?  You know i was outta luck on that!!!! lol lol
We arrived a little late But?  It was Great just to hear them play, live, that "ash'e factor in effect ! 
I think my favorite Isley is Ernie Isley or whoever the Brother currently  is on the main guitar, when "Who's that Lady", Summer Breeze, Hello  it's Me ,  Footsteps in the Dark, Atlantis", and more - started to play, it was on!  They did alot of the classic Isley grooves !
 
art
Lots' of Great Art,  lots of great Exhibits & Jewelry, Fashions, Jazz, Photography & Sculpture-- lots of Theater & Cinema too,  a Children's' Activity area  that My Son's too young for right now - like Port Discovery & the National Aquarium 
 
shopscape - powershopping for unique pieces from artists such as Larry Poncho  Brown http://www.larryponchobrown.com/
I picked up alot of nice art  & jewelry yesterday!----along with many other great artist, who have stalls out there.
artists visual  exhibitions  here - http://www.artscape.org/index.cfm?page=visual

All kinds of food  vendors  - from Jamaican to Indian,  American. {you can find many things vegetarian items, ask!
