Cabbage is one of the staples in the Bahamas along with pumpkin and tomatoes. No matter which island you are at, you are likely to find this local produce. I'd say we provisioned our boat extremely well for our first time cruising the Bahamas, but you still have to rely on the local food when you want something fresh. That's not to say that we haven't been able to buy other produce, but a lot of the stuff is limited and brought in weekly to the islands by mailboat from the US. Here's Mike's famous coleslaw recipe. It's delicious served alone as a side or on top of fish!
Mike's Bahamian Coleslaw
1 white cabbage, thinly sliced
1/4 cup yellow raisins
1 carrot, shaved
3/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup apple cider or rice vinegar
1-2 tbsp. sugar
Yellow Curry powder, to taste
Mix dressing, pour over cabbage, carrots and raisins. Refrigerate. Serve.
Umm umm. and I can attest to it's goodness!
