Caribbean food is spicy and savory. The cuisine of the Caribbean is like a cultural patchwork 
quilt. Each “patch” or dish represents the plentiful bounty of the islands' lush tropical vegetation, combined with the one or more diverse groups of people that have lived there, including the original Carib and Arawak Indians, followed by the Spanish, British, French, and Dutch settlers, as well as Africans.

It's a good representation of the kinds of flavors you will find in the Caribbean Islands.
