A world of food from A to Z and us

The Prendergast family try a recipe from a different country every night.

Caribbean I know that's cheating a bit-the Caribbean is made up of about 10 different countries, but they're all so little and close together, they must eat the same stuff right? We went for a generic Caribbean meal of battered shrimps with a potato salad recipe from Cuba. Yum! the shrimps were to die for; quite literally as they were deep fried and drenched in oil! Oh well, all for the cause eh? We loved this meal of course, and it only got better when we had caramalised fresh pineapple with ice-cream (kids) or yogurt (Mum-enough fat for one night!) We know we shouldn't dance at the table, but that funky Caribbean music leaves you with no choice! Tonight was one of our best nights!

By the looks of those photos, things were getting a bit tough by the time you ate the banana splits!
I'm glad you had Vietnamese rice-paper rolls: that's one of my favourite dinners! Really good for lots of people, especially when the weather's a bit warmer. Sometimes we grill some frozen crumbed fish and slice it up for inside the rolls.
Keep up the good work!

PS You could have watched Pirates of the Caribbean as part of your meal last night!

Thanks for your comment Rake! Yes it was hard work to finish those banana splits! (But Dad came to the rescue)
We might try those fish rice rolls-they sound good.
