    An attractive plate of food.

    However, it portrays what is wrong with our cuisine in Dominica and the wider Caribbean. The typical Dominican and Caribbean meal is loaded with carbs, salt, fat, and sugar. That meal in the pic, for example, is at least 90% carbs. Even for persons who have a very active lifestyle, this is too much. Get rid of the rice and add some vegies. The provisions are complex carbs so, we can use some of them. The white rice that we just so love is simply bad for the body.

    The plate dont go with the food. carbs good for you, stop those foolish thing about carbs. We eat plenty breadfruit and cococnut, dasheen and cocoa tea and all that is fat and we were all slim. Is all the processed rubbish we eating that messing us up. Take out that old yellow rice and add some green pawpaw or cristofine and enjoy. Dominica nice. Amen. Nice photo

    A lovely picture and mouth watering to some but if this is a reflection of our eating habits in Dominica, it says a lot as to why there is so much obesity.No need for all this carbohydrates.We can grow and consume much vegetables as well.No offence intended, just a thought.

      come on people, your voting reflects your collective attitude…. we not making an issue about it, but it IS illegal at this time of year…

      is that true or isn’t it??

      I agree, it looks real nice, but vegetables needs to be in order. Dashine is not one. I am not hating the dashine, but it is not veg.

      From the comments here, I see that most people are of the opinion that this crayfish was caught out of season, but where is the proof? this picture may have been taken in October last year or even in 2010. The fact that it is only now being submitted is not enough proof of a breach of the law. Great photo!!

      • hmmmm
        April 3, 2012

        some persons refrigerate their crabs etc so tey can eat when its not seasonal
