How common is Vegeterianism among the ''Creole'' societies of the Indian Ocean?
Are vegetarian dishes offered only in addition to most recipes of the region, or is there any evidence to suggest that the diet is popular or even dominant in any sections of the community? Or, given the dependence on many of the islands upon fishing, are there many people who eat fsh but no other meat? Is it possible to avoid meat in the cooking of this region easilly?
Answers:
Being a former chef and having worked in both Southeast Asia and in the Carribean, creole is more attributed to the islands in the Gulf of Mexico and stemming from the Africa influence during the slave trade, it came from the east coast of Africa, Ghana, Congo and along that coastal area.
It rose out of the use of the native ingredients they brought from Africa and th available produce in the isalnds of the Carribean. The East Indian area has little to do with Creole food or cuisine except the Okra plant did come from India.
