- Dominicans start their day early with breakfast before the tropical sun heats up the
day. Breakfast can be light, consisting of coffee and warm milk (cafe-con-leche) and a
crusty hot bread roll (pan de aqua), or may be heavy, with mashed plantains (Mangu), eggs, sausage, and fresh fruit.
-
- The elaborate and time consuming preparation for the big noonday meal, begins right
after breakfast so that cooking can be dome in the cool of the morning. Between noon and
2pm family members head home to find a bountiful spread that typically consists of large
platters of rice and beans, fried plantains, vegetables, stewed chicken or meat, salad,
and is finished off with a strong cup of expresso.
-
- Sometime after seven pm in the cool of the evening, Dominicans have dinner, a light meal
which might include fresh fruit, cheeses, boiled or fried plantains, sausage or ham, and
again, hot crusty bread from the bakery.
