Bahamian Cuisine refers to the foods and beverages of the Bahamas. It includes seafood such as fish, shellfish, lobster, crab, and conch,〔 as well as tropical fruits, rice, peas, pigeon peas, potatoes, and pork. Popular seasonings commonly used in dishes include chilies (hot pepper), lime, cilantro, tomatoes, onions, garlic, allspice, cinnamon, rum, and coconut.〔 Rum-based beverages are popular on the island.〔 Since the Bahamas consist of a multitude of islands, notable culinary variations exist. Bahamian cooking has been somewhat influenced by the American South.〔 A large portion of Bahamian foodstuffs are imported (''cf.'' economy of the Bahamas).〔 International cuisine is offered, especially at international hotels.〔 Many specialty dishes are available at roadside stands, beach side, and in fine dining establishments. In contrast to the offerings in the city of Nassau and in the many hotels, "shack" type restaurants (including Goldies and Twin Brothers) are located at Arawak Cay on West Bay Street about 15 minutes from downtown Nassau and 25 minutes from Atlantis Paradise Island resort.〔 Travellers Rest Restaurant, in Nassau, is known for serving authentic "local" foods.〔 〔(Bahamas Restaurants, Find the Best Restaurants in Bahamas, Caribbean | Travel + Leisure )〕 Bahamian cuisine is showcased at many large festivals, including Independence Day (Bahamas) on July 10 (during which inhabitants prepare special dishes like guava duff), Fox Hill Day (second Tuesday in August), and Emancipation Day. Some settlements have festivals associated with the traditional crop or food of that area, such as the Pineapple Fest in Gregory Town, Eleuthera. Bahamian traditions and food have been exported to other countries with emigrants.〔 Coconut Grove, Florida celebrates the Goombay Festival in June, transforming the area's Grand Avenue into a Carnival (Caribbean Carnival) in celebration of Bahamian culture, Bahamian food and music (Junkanoo and 'Rake'N'Scrape'〔Music of the Bahamas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia〕).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.florida-backroads-travel.com/goombay-festival.html )〕 Fantasy Fest in Key West, Florida includes a two-day street party known as Goombay held in Key West's Bahama Village neighborhood.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://bahamavillagegoombay.com/about/ )〕 It is named after the goombay goatskin drums that generate the party's rhythms and held in celebration of the heritage of Key West's large Bahamian population with food, art, and dancing.〔 ==Beverages== Fruit juices, including coconut water, are often used for beverages.
