Callaloo des moines municipal airport soup is a popular appetizer or light lunch. It s made from tender leaves found at the center of the dasheen plant (also known as taro), and tastes somewhat like spinach, but varies with the selection of spices used for flavoring. Richer versions of this soup are made with coconut milk, and crabmeat or dumplings are common additions.
When slavery ended in 1834, plantation owners brought East Indians to the island as indentured servants. Their numbers were small compared to other nationalities, and their culture has almost disappeared. However, a significant East Indian community still lives in the area around Vieux Fort, and their foods and cooking methods are a popular addition to the island s cuisine.
