Week 1

Chicken stew dish

Submitted by Annabelle Dorsett on the 2024 Winter CIEG program in Barbados…

For the first week in Barbados we traveled all over the island to different recommended areas. The first night we got there, the group went to a local kitchen across the street for karaoke night. We got the recommended chicken stew over rice dish, attached is a picture. It was delicious and the crowd at the bar was so welcoming, a great way to start our trip. The next morning we
walked a few miles around the beach and in the town and were greeted by endless friendly locals. The beach was beautiful and the water was so blue and crystal clear. The next few days were busy with classes but we made sure to venture around. We went snorkeling at the beach by the place we were staying and the fish and coral were breathtaking. To finish off the week we took the bus to the Fish market in Oistin’s which was heavily recommended by most people we talked to. It was lively and loud with lots of food and drinks with people from all over the world and from Barbados. We got some dolphin fish and shrimp platters and it was phenomenal.
