Martinique: discovering the flavors of the island

The island of Martinique is famous for its gastronomy. A guide has opened a tour operator specializing in the discovery of Martinican cuisine. First meeting in a restaurant in which Françoise works, who appreciates these visits: “It allows you to exchange, it allows you to discover the product a little bit, especially our fruits that not everyone knows.” Visitors are won over by their frugal and spicy breakfast.

The second appointment is given at the market of the city of Fort-de-France. On the stalls, lots of fruit and real discoveries for the spectators. “It’s at home and we don’t actually know, we don’t go to see, we don’t know anything and we get lost a bit”reacts a Martinican. After this crossing point, another just as important: the visit of a craftsman specialized in the extraction of cane sugar. For the bravest, they can even taste bull testicles. Finally, the last appointment is a tasting of a local soft drink.
