The cuisine in Panama left our bellies full and our taste buds satisfied. We found Panama to be rich in traditional and western foods. From pasta to plantain; From gungo peas and rice, to yuca, yams and breadfruit. From beer, passion fruit, tamarind and coconut water; from Dunkin Donuts to cotton candy; to fresh mango, pineapple, sandia and papaya. It was such a pleasure to not cook once for sixteen days and to have such wonderful foods grace our plates each day.
Whether we were at the all inclusive buffets or at the remote islands, where what was caught or farmed was the meal for the day, no one in the family was left hungry. Ms. Havana, the selective eater in our family, ventured out and tried many new things. That in and of itself may have contributed to Panama being one of our best holidays so far.
Every time I took a photo I heard my friend Roger in my head say how tacky it was to photograph one's meals. But half the fun of traveling is eating. With so many new and old choices and with Havana expanding her dietary horizons, I wanted to document the culinary aspect of our journey.
