Guadeloupe dress with skirts and a grass shirt or dresses and a lot of jewelry.

Creole cooking uses hot peppers and spices but has been influenced by French cooking and imported foodstuffs. Guadeloupe isn’t the only islands that eats “green bananas”. Dominican Republic also eats green bananas. Rum also plays a big part in Guadeloupe’s food. A lot of Guadeloupe’s foods are from France. For example, the lobster profiteroles, to rack of lamb, red snapper, and pork medallions. Herbs such as thyme and a variety of cream sauces are used with flavorful results.
