Caribbean cuisine is a fusion of African, Cajun, European, Latin American, Indian/South Asian, Middle Eastern, Chinese. These traditions were brought from many different countries. In addition, the population has created styles. Ingredients that are common in most islands' dishes are rice, beans, culantro, bell peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and any of various meats that are locally available like beef, pork or fish. A characteristic seasoning for the region is a green herb-and-oil-based marinade which imparts a flavor profile, quintessentially Caribbean in character. Ingredients may include garlic, scotch bonnet peppers, green onions, herbs like culantro, mexican mint, marjoram, rosemary and thyme; this green seasoning is used for a variety of dishes like curries and roasted meats. Traditional dishes are so important to regional culture that, for example, the local version of Caribbean goat stew has been chosen as the official national dish of Montserrat and is one of the signature dishes of St. Kitts and Nevis.

Another popular dish in the Anglophone Caribbean pelau. Ackee and saltfish is another popular dish, unique to Jamaica. Callaloo is a dish containing leafy vegetables such as spinach and sometimes okra amongst others distributed in the Caribbean, with a distinctively mixed African and indigenous character; the variety of dessert dishes in the area reflects the mixed origins of the recipes. In some areas, black cake, a derivative of English Christmas pudding, may be served on special occasions. Over time, food from the Caribbean has evolved into a narrative technique through which their culture has been accentuated and promoted. However, by studying Caribbean culture through a literary lens there runs the risk of generalizing exoticist ideas about food practices from the tropical; some food theorists argue that this depiction of Caribbean food in various forms of media contributes to the inaccurate conceptions revolving around their culinary practices, which are much more grounded in unpleasant historical events.

Therefore, it can be argued that the connection between the idea of the Caribbean being the ultimate paradise and Caribbean food being exotic is based on inaccurate information. Floribbean cuisine Ground provisions List of cuisines Street food
