Okay so maybe the title is a little more intense than the actual post. Almost like the movie trailer that's better than the movie. LOL. ALMOST!
Thing is I've been invited to cook all over the world and everytime I do, rest assured I do so repping The Bahamas. It is often difficult to procure some of my ingredients and I often have to carry a few items along. Also, many times visitors and non-Bahamians have no clue to what out ingredients are. So see my guide below.
Picture Key
Bennie seeds
Fat back
Native orange
Dried conch
Fermented tomato sauce
Guinea corn
Salt beef/ salt pork
Island rock salt
Spanish thyme
Golden coconut
Whelks
I also usually must have some gifts for whomever I'm going to see.
