12/24.- Nassau, Restaurant

Apparently, the owner of this restaurant did not know which color to choose. So he put them all in. Nassau food is delicious. The main dish is conch (pronounced konk), which can be eaten raw, "cracked", steamed, stewed or, above all, in the typical deep-fried "fritters", all served with spicy and garlicky sauce, and accompanied by peas'n rice, fried plantain bananas, or, more surprisingly, cheese macaroni. The beverages are equally colorful (yes, I know : I keep using that adjective. But if you go to Nassau you will immediately understand why !!). Nassau produces all kinds of rum, mixed into cocktails and punches served in coconuts or in decorated glasses, though sometimes wrapped in a bag or napkin to keep it cool in the steaming weather.
