Food in Nassau, New Providence
EVERYTHING in this city is FRIED.
I renewed my love affair with fries. It was a fast and furious romance that I had to end our last day there.
Twin Brothers is a popular place and our driver recommended it, so we ate there. They served a pint of oil with their fried dishes.
Recipe for smelling like onions for 24 hours, more commonly known as the recipe for,
Conch Salad
1 whole onion
1/2 sweet pepper
1/3 pineapple
1 tomato
1/2 mango
1 small raw conch
Coarsely chop all of the above, add lime juice and a touch of orange juice.
Eat and smell like onions for 24 hours
The locals told us, multiple times, Conch is an aphrodisiac. They were quite proud of it.
My favorite place to eat was this little "gem" right around the corner of us. A lot of locals ate there, so we thought we should try it. Their grilled chicken salad was divine. My favorite parts of this picture are, the ENT RANCE, and the sign with the dude on a skateboard, curly-toed boots, a crown on his head and huge conch shell in his hand.
Signs
Whenever I see a funny sign, I HAVE to take a picture.
This store CLEARLY has commitment issues.
Don't worry about getting a new sign if you stop selling a certain item,
just duct tape over it.
