ANTIGUA BLACK PINEAPPLE Pineapple is a favorite for many people around the world, but not many have experienced the black pineapple of Antigua. This fruit is native to Antigua
and is consumed fresh or used in various dishes and drinks. The shortened name for this version of the fruit is the Antiguan Black, and it is known as the sweetest pineapple in the world. It can be tough to tell when this fruit is ripe, as the green tint remains no matter what stage of ripeness it is at, so you’ll need to ask an experienced local for advice before you dig in. The Antiguan Black is also less acidic than other pineapples, and the core tends to be more tender. GOAT WATER A spiced goat meat stew, sometimes with dumplings, yams, or potatoes added in, Goat Water is considered a delicacy and extremely popular throughout the Caribbean. Goat water is usually eaten around breakfast time and can be found in some local restaurants. If you do go for it, just keep in mind, this dish is very filling... it is also considered an aphrodisiac.
