  Tropical Fruits we delight in are often found at roadside stands and local markets.  Familiar to every cereal eater, here banana is turned in to fritters, bread, puddings, and pies.  Carambola, or “star fruit,” is very often a garnish for drinks or salads.  Mango, papaya (below), passion fruit, soursop, coconut, and tamarind are turned into delicious drinks, preserves, chutneys and candies.  If your sweet tooth comes combined with a thirst, try some sugar cane juice at the Smithens Market stand on Queen Mary Highway.
