The food of Cape Verde basically comprises fish and shell fish preparations. Local specialities include cachupa—a fish and bean stew. Cape Verde’s cuisine is Portuguese inspired and most of the food is transported in through ship.
Wine is made on Fogo Island, known as Manecome. Aguardiente (sugar cane rum) is another national drink. A liquor made from coffee, cinnamon, fig leaf, peppermint, orange or lime is very popular in San Antao.
