1. Johnny cake
2. Conch salad
3. Chicken souse
4. Guava duff
5. Rum cake
6. Pigeon peas and rice
7. Goombay Smash
8. Conch fritters
Out of these 8 foods, the 3 foods that I remember our family eating regularly when I was growing up were conch salad, conch fritters, and pigeon peas and rice. These dishes are very easy to make. However, depending on where you live the ingredients may not be available. You may live in a place where you can just go to the local fish market to buy conch. If not, just Google “where can you get fresh conch” and you will find online stores. The same thing for pigeon peas. You might be able to get them at your local grocery store. If not, you can buy canned or dried pigeon peas. The other 5 Bahamian dishes on the list are just as tasty. But the three I mentioned have special memories. Here are links to the recipes. Hope you get a chance to try them.
