First Ingredient: Caribbean Culture


Ingredient One: Caribbean Culture.

I'm just a girl trying to understand my Caribbean history 😅

What does my name Miss Callaloo mean, if you ask? I am a mixture of all things Caribbean: religion, culture, heritage, history, race and family. That is what I am.

In today's Callaloo pot, I'm adding a touch of Caribbean culture.

Knowing the history of the Caribbean region goes a long way toward understanding its people. Each island has a unique cultural identity shaped by the European colonialists, the African heritage of slaves, and the enduring legacies of the native Indian tribes. This rich history and its lasting influence is set against a backdrop of crystal clear waters and perpetual sunshine. (Caribbean Culture | Caribya!, 2020)
Caribbean lifestyle is painted as a beautiful picture because of its rich flavour and culture. From the architecture, music, values, religions and rituals. They all have been made in a way specifically to match each Caribbean country's background and culture.

  3. I agree with you here and I loved how you worded it. You sound very intelligent. Our culture is indeed an amazing mix and I don't know if we could find this anywhere else in the world. We have so many unique things here: food, music, traditions. They are done in a Caribbean harmony. Proud to be from the Caribbean.
