Many foods and cooking techniques that we serve as delicacies derive from a history of European conquest and the importation of large amount of slaves from Africa living under strict ruling. The British Virgin Islands local dish know as peas soup is a uniquely prepared dish that you may find in the different restaurants in the BVI. While you are in the BVI forget about coffee you will have a chance to enjoy the local bush tea that warms the heart.
