Tables for Two
As you would expect on an island that's home to 40 nationali-
ties, Aruba offers cuisine from around the globe. Chinese, Indo-
nesian, French, Japanese, Argentinean, Italian, Russian,
Spanish, Mediterranean, Dutch, and American food are all
available. Fast-food outlets are plentiful, especially along the
Oranjestad waterfront. (And don't laugh - they can offer an in-
teresting slice of Aruban life. We popped into McDonald's for an
inexpensive breakfast one morning and, as in a small-town
diner, eavesdropped on conversations over the Papiamento
newspaper.)
But don't miss the Aruban dishes. Fried fish with
funchi
(corn-
meal), stewed lamb with
pan bati
(pancake), and
keshi yena
(a hollowed wheel of Edam cheese filled with meat and baked to
combine flavors) are popular local dishes.
