On this island known as "Little England," you'll find a cuisine that blends the best of Britain and Africa. The native flying fish, with its sweet, mild flavor, is a favorite as is conch.

Some other dishes you're likely to encounter include bonavist (small white beans seasoned with pumpkin and herbs), jug-jug (a molded dish of chopped ham, salt beef or pork, and green peas), cou-cou (a savory pudding of cornmeal and okra). Use your international cell phone rentals to make reservations at restaurants in the Barbados.

The native fruit carambola, or starfruit, is wonderful as well.
