I have just got back from a holiday in Fuerteventura. One of the things I was most looking forward to was trying out some of the local dishes. I guessed that the dishes on offer would be inspired by both Spanish and African cuisine. However, I was sadly disappointed. The breakfast menus everywhere were typical English breakfasts and the menus for evening meals were typical English pub grub- steaks, gammon, chicken etc. Other than having a Chinese buffet one night, the food was very much what I would have made at home. I am guessing that the food was geared towards the UK tourist market, but I am still none the wiser about local cuisine in the Canary Islands. What are the local specialities in this part of the world and have other people had better experiences than I have had in terms of the food?
