St. Helena
Napolean's place of exile boasts a rich culinary history.
user ratingFamously known as Napoleon Bonaparte’s place of exile, the tiny island of St. Helena located in the South Atlantic Ocean midway between Africa and South America possesses a rich culinary history despite its physical isolation. In lush pastures, organic lamb, beef, and mutton are raised and used for frequent barbecues. Spiced fishcakes made with mackerel are popular and often served with pilau, a spiced curry and rice dish.
Local drinks include mulberry wine, banana wine and Tungi Spirit, a distilled prickly pear beverage. St. Helena coffee is revered for its quality, and tea varieties range from black to rooibos to green. Desserts, a large part of the food culture, are prepared with great pride and include coconut fingers dipped in icing and pumpkin-nutmeg pudding.—Leska Tomash
