need to knowWord of MouthBreakfast with a viewDavid Katz eats his fill at the popular West Indian Breakfast in Mt Moritz, GrenadaLike many other places in volcanicGrenada, the close-knit hillside communityof Mt Moritz is reached by a steepclimb up a twisting road, a ten-minutedrive from the capital, St George’s.The village has five churches, a sportsground, and a breathtaking view of theCaribbean Sea. After the dramatic crestof Campbell Drive, there’s a winding descentto a large playing field, where — ifyou arrive on the right Sunday morning— you’ll find the irresistible aromaof bubbling pots, as vintage soca musicwafts in the breeze.For the past eleven years, Mt Moritzhas been home to a popular monthlyWest Indian Breakfast, where authenticlocal delicacies are offered to thepublic in a festive and communal atmosphere.Launched by Nicholas Harrisof the Mt Moritz Community DevelopmentOrganisation, the West IndianBreakfast was started to encouragecommunity togetherness and tostimulate revitalisation, as all proceedsremain in the village, contributing to itsupkeep.The event is renowned for its rangeof bona fide local foods, cooked thetraditional way and served without thefuss and pomp of hotel restaurants.So, rather than starched white tablecloths,there are communal benches ina massive tent, allowing attendees tomeet the “Mung-Mungs,” as Mt Moritzresidents are affectionately known,along with islanders from other communities.And the food is not aimedat foreign palates, either. Everythingon offer is the genuine unadulteratedarticle, including dishes like pig-footsouse, blood pudding, and saltfishsouse. Smoked herring is shredded andcooked with onions and peppers, yieldinga delightfully savoury treat. There’salso cornmeal cou-cou, and althoughthe giant trevally or jackfish is typicallycooked whole in adult form, atMt Moritz they often serve it young,similar to fried whitebait.You’ll find an abundance of steamedground provisions too, with a varietyof yams, sweet potato, breadfruit, andplantain, as well as the bulky greenbanana known locally as “bluggoe.”And breakfast wouldn’t be breakfastwithout a choice of bakes, either bakedin the oven or fried — with everythingwashed down by a cup of warmingcocoa tea or an herbal alternative suchas lemongrass. Grenada is known as theIsle of Spice because so many spicesgrow here in abundance. As Grenadianslike their food well-seasoned, breakfastat Mt Moritz is guaranteed to beflavourful — and excellent value, as theentire meal costs a mere US$11.Since Grenadians tend to rise early,the Mt Moritz breakfast begins at 6am. Even if the food typically finishesby 11.30, visitors often find themselveslingering into the afternoon, enjoying afriendly lime with the locals. The WestIndian Breakfast is normally held on thelast Sunday of every month, but beforemaking the steep drive, make sure tocheck the community Facebook pagefor scheduling updates.For more information and the schedule for the monthly Mt Moritz WestIndian Breakfast, visit www.facebook.com/Mt-Moritz-Community-Development-Organisation-202684563081687James Hackett32WWW.CARIBBEAN-BEAT.COM
