Dominica cuisine: National specialties: Creole food is prevalent on restaurant menus, including callaloosoup, made from tender leaves found at the center dasheen plant. Roadside stands and small-town restaurants typically serve fried chicken, fish-and-chips and "tasty bakes" along with cold drinks. The island produces numerous fresh fruits, including bananas, coconuts, papayas, guavas, pineapples, and mangoes which can be eaten as dessert and be pureed or liquefied.[2]
Dominica's national dish is the mountain chicken, which are snares of the legs of a frog called the Capaud, which is endemic to Dominica and Montserrat. Found at higher elevations, it's a protected species and can only be caught between autumn and February.

General: Dominica has been nicknamed the "Nature Isle of the Caribbean" for its unspoiled natural beauty. It is the youngest island in the Lesser Antilles, still being formed by geothermal-volcanic activity, as evidenced by the world's second-largest boiling lake. The island features lush mountainous rainforests, home of many rare plant, animal, and bird species. There are xeric areas in some of the western coastal regions, but heavy rainfall can be expected inland. The Sisserou Parrot (also known as the Imperial Amazon), the island's national bird, is featured on the national flag. Dominica's economy is heavily dependent on both tourism and agriculture.
