Off The Beaten Path
On Saturdays, in Barbados people eat a traditional meal named Puddin and Souse. This is a black pudding that has some pig parts like ear and tongues. The pig parts are pickled. Everything is combined with things like breadfruit, sweet potatoes (white sweet potato) and some parts of onion and cucumbers.
If you want to eat the best traditional dish, you go to The Village Bar in Lemon Arbor. There, St. John is the most popular. There you can eat the Puddin’ and Souse and also the Lean Souse, which is pork with a mix of cucumber, lime, and some hot pepper. For less traditional people, French fries, fish, macaroni pie and some mixed salad. Another amazing dish is the pickled SeaCat (octopus). Tourists eat is regularly. You can also get beers, mixed drinks and cocktails.
You can sit on the back deck and observe the amazing view of St. John Valley. You can encounter many types of people there. St. John is a great place to spend some time there in a weekend.
