FOOD OF BELIZE 2

 Chicken Stew: The perfect side dish for rice and beans,chicken stew is another ubiquitous dish that comes to the table in endless subtle variations. At its best,its a sublime mix of spices and melt in your mouth tender chicken,and at its worst its not bad at all. Served with rice and beans and a dollop of Belizean potato salad,stewed chicken(and its stewed cousins pork and beef) is a filling and flavorful meal any time of day.

Tamarindo Candy: These delicious sweets are known locally as tambran sweet,which are sweet and sour balls made from the tamarind fruit,when in season. Once shelled and free of fibers,the pulp is mixed,rolled and covered with sugar to form candy balls. Its one of the most delicious candies of Belize.

Fudge: The fudge of Belize is a simple square dark brown,melt in your mouth,hard candy type of fudge. The uniqueness of this easy-to-make confection is that it is made with sweetened condensed milk,unlike typical "dulce de leche" recipes that are chocolate or sugar based. the fudge of Belize is a candy that you must eat at least once.
