Montserrat's national dish is goat water, a (not too thick or thin) goat meat stew (made from the meat of the male (ram) goat) and served with crispy bread rolls.[1] It bears resemblance to the Irish stew and can be served with a variety of foods, such as bread, and rice.[2]
The Montserrat cuisine resembles the general British and Caribbean one, as it is situated in the Caribbean zone and it is a British territory.[citation needed] The cuisine includes a wide range of light meats, like fish, seafood and chicken, which are mostly grilled, fried or roasted.[citation needed] It is a fusion of multiple cultures, including Spanish, French, African, Indian and Amerindian.[citation needed]
