My first meal from the local cuisine

For lunch, I treated myself to my first meal from French Guianese cuisine: Ti Nain Queue de Cochon, i.e. pig tail (though I’m pretty sure the meat was not actually the tail of the pig, given the size of the chunks). It tasted good, though the fat-to-meat ratio was way too high, and I felt a bit cheated in terms of protein. The plantains in it were good, and I don’t think I’d ever eaten plantains that still looked like bananas even after they were peeled and cooked. It also was juuuust spicy enough to have some kick but to not leave me gasping for water. I followed the meal with a small scoop of guava sorbet. It was really good.
