Every country in the world has a unique way of preparing their
meals. This is why a tourist who wants to learn more about the
culture, tradition and even history of
a country should try their
local food. The menu in different countries is not just based on what
can be cooked, but they are largely based on their culture and way of
life.
If you're going to the Dominican Republic for an adult
vacation, there is a good chance that you'll experience their local
food. This is why learning more about the Dominican
Republic is never
complete without trying out their food. Although the country is part
of the Caribbean, they still have
some distinction in terms of their
culinary preparation.
Conservative Use of Spice
Many nations in the Caribbean and South America are well known for
their extensive use of spices during food preparation. However, the
Dominican Republic is not part of this
tradition as the spices often
integrated into their meals are just limited to onion, garlic and
cilantro. Oregano and local peppers may also be added to meals that
require
additional preparation. Because of this, the foods in the
Dominican Republic are rarely spicy but they can still taste great
because of the freshness of the main ingredients.
Beef and Cheese
Tourists will also notice that meals in the Dominican Republic are
usually based on beef. Cows are very common in this country even
though the focus on tourism is near the
beach. Inland, many farmers
rely on beef for their daily sustenance. Aside from beef, the use of
cheese is quite common here. It is often integrated into the food to
provide that
sweet taste which will make the food truly Dominican.
Regional Differences in Food
As already indicated, beef is very popular for those living
inland. Those who are living near the shores are not necessarily
having on beef in many of their meals since their main
source of food
is from the sea. Homes near the shores often prepare fish as part of
their meals. However, fishermen usually prepare the fresh but low
priced fish as the premium
fish is sold to restaurants for tourists
and the rich members of the society. But don't think that the cheap fish is not good. As these fish are
fresh, they can also be prepared in a
lot of ways and still taste
great.
Lunch as the Most Important Meal of the Day
If you want to go out on a date with your lovely Dominican
companion while enjoying a great meal for the day, consider going out
for lunch. The best meal of the day in the
Dominican Republic is
during lunchtime. Locals will often prepare two to three varieties of
food that will complement the local rice. Expect a hearty meal during
lunchtime and
you'll most likely taste the best food the country has
to offer. Try to request some of the best local food during your stay in an
adult themed resort. It's a gastronomic delight
that should not be
missed.
