Dominica now has an official national dish.<\/p>\n

Chief cultural officer, Raymond Lawrence, announced that callaloo will now be Dominica’s national dish.<\/p>\n

He made the announcement at the opening of the island’s independence celebration ceremony now taking place at the Bay Front in Roseau.<\/p>\n

The choice was made through a series of surveys carried out among Dominicans on radio, in the hotels, through a LIME texting feature, and print media including Dominica News Online.<\/p>\n

It presented the choices of callaloo, sancoche, broth, fig and saltfish and titiwi.<\/p>\n

The choice was then forwarded to cabinet for approval.<\/p>\n

The new dish replaces the Mountain Chicken which was Dominica’s unofficial national dish for many years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dominica now has an official national dish.
