And of course, for those seek a bit of seafood rarity, you can try the pulpo (octopus), tiburon
(shark), and Dorado (dolphin / mahimahi). As you can see that Belize food consists of lots of
seafood.
Other seafood dishes you dare should not miss while in Belize are ‘hudut’ which is a fish
stew cooked in coconut milk and served with mashed fried green plaintains; and ‘sere’
which is a similar dish inspired by the Kriol. Escabeche is also another must not miss dish
which means pickled onion soup and can be made with either chicken or fish.
If meat is your main plate of delight, keep your eye out for Belize food entitled ‘bistec’ which
is beefsteak, ‘cerdo’ for pork, ‘jamon’ for ham, cordero for some lamb, and ‘costillas’ for ribs.
If your appetite is particularly yearning for some duck, then order a pato. If it is turkey that
you want, there is pavo. Other dishes you might be interested in are lengua which is ox
tongue and chicharrones which are crispy fried pork rinds perfect as appetizers.
For some exotic Belize food, you can opt to order an iguana or gibnut (paca). Interestingly, a
gibnut is a large rodent which Belizeans call “The Royal Rat” or “The Queen’s Rat”. This is
for the main reason that Queen Elizabeth was served this particular dish during her visit. An
iguana on the other hand is often called a ‘bamboo chicken’ since it actually taste like
chicken (pollo).
For some bread and candy, a bami is cassava bread; a Janny kake is traditional fried bread
which is usually offered for breakfast; strech-mi-gots are traditional taffies, and a tablayta is
a coconut candy.
Of course, a Belize food trip is not complete if you have not tasted their signature liquor and
beverages. Being in the Caribbean, take advantage of the abundance in fresh fruit shakes
which will certainly quench your thirst. If you are feeling a bit adventurous, you can try their
famous seaweed shake which is a concoction of dried seaweed, cinnamon, evaporated and
condensed milk, and some nutmeg. If you want to kick your seaweed shake up a notch, you
can request the barista to add a shot of rum or brandy.
Rum is the most popular choice of liquor in Belize and the finest of which is called Prestige.
If favor beer more, then you will find that Belize Brewing Company bottles Belikin (the
national beer) and it has several variations like Belikin Premium, Belikin Lager, and Belikin
Stout.
Belize food reflects the varied culture that makes up this tropical paradise. When you visit
Belize you should make a point to try as many different food offerings as you can. All of
which will enrich your vacation.
