Known for their extensive use of thick, rich sauces, Dominican cooking revolves around the basics. In addition to beans and rice as a dietary staple, at a typical meal you will find yami, yucca, platinos, and a host of other vegetables with chicken, pork or fish as the main course. Also served are beef, goat and various seafoods including lobster, shrimp, crab, conch (lambi) and octopus. And for a snack in between meals, munch on luscious mangoes, pineapple, bananas, guava, chinola, and "coco frio"- fresh, chilled, still-in-the-shell coconut milk. Nutritious, wholesome foods are everywhere. Junkfood junkies beware, you'll starve on this island!
