Local foods include pork, lobster, conch, goat water (a meat and vegetable stew), fresh fish, jerk chicken (a spicy Jamaican dish), pepper-pot peas, pawpaws (papayas), yams, pumpkins and such seasonal fruits as soursop and mammy apples. Be sure to try some jelly water, the juice of local coconuts. We recommend trying everything, including a flying-fish sandwich and lobster and conch served in spicy curry sauce. If you're feeling adventurous and want something truly local, sample dishes such souse (a stew made with pig's feet—sounds bad, but tastes good), black pudding (seasoned rice cooked in a kind of sausage skin), or cook-up (rice and peas cooked with a mixture of meats).
