Food and Drink
Grenada grows many kinds of fruits, vegetables and spices, all of which are for sale in the colourful market in St George's. Seafood is plentiful, ranging from conch - known locally as lambie - to flying fish. Also widely available and unmissable are delicious rotis , thin layers of pastry folded around various fillings. Favourite starts include callaloo soup and nutmeg ice cream is an island specialty. The beer of choice is Carib , brewed on the island and available in all bars. Likewise rum produced in Grenada's distilleries is used in a wide variety of punches and cocktails. Be sure to sample the locally produced fruit juice . Bursting with flavour, what's on offer depends on the season; those made from passion fruit and sorrel are both delicious and well worth trying. All three islands have a good number of places to eat , ranging from Chinese to creole, though vegetarians will find generally that most restaurants do not cater for them. Outside of St George's on Grenada, however, dining options tend to be mainly hotel restaurants and bars . Most establishments serve a dinner menu after 7pm that is considerably more expensive than meals served during the day, and the choice of inexpensive restaurants dwindles after this time.
