Eating local

Caye Caulker, Belize

The food situation here on the island is quite interesting. On the one hand there are LOTS of restaurants serving mildly to wildly overpriced food--some of it quite good.  And then there is the "other" economy of local food stuffs such as pineapple and homemade corn tortillas (1/2 pound for less than $1 US). And then there was the fancy Belizean chocolate...local in one sense of the word, but not because locals can afford it...
