Mauritius and its Cuisine

Mauritius, (French: Maurice; Mauritian Creole: Moris): officially: Republic of Mauritius (French: République de Maurice), is an island nation off the coast of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. In addition to the island of Mauritius, the republic includes the islands of St. Brandon, Rodrigues and the Agalega Islands. Mauritius is part of the Mascarene Islands, with the French island of Réunion 200 km to the southwest and the island of Rodrigues 570 km to the East-northeast. The capital and largest city is Port Louis and the island gained independence from Britain on March 12th 1968. Most of the island residents are the descendants of people from the Indian subcontinent. Mauritius also has large immigrant populations from continental Africa, Madagascar, France, Great Britain, and China, among other places. The Indo-Mauritians (when the ethnic groups are combined) form approximately 70% of the total population, the remaining 30% being mostly Creoles. There are approximately 30,000 Mauritians of Chinese descent, from the Hakka, Mandarin, and Cantonese language groups. More than 90% of the Sino-Mauritian community are Roman Catholic; the remainder are largely Buddhist. The official language is English, though French is also widely spoken.

As an Island off the coast of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean Mauritian cuisine has been influenced by traders, slavers, slaves, pirates and adventurers. Specifically the cuisine is influenced by the French, Indians, Malays and Chinese. There is a considerable amount of seafood in Mauritian cookery this is married to an amazingly diverse range of vegetables and fruit. Here you can find foods that are true to their origins and which also form cultural melanges.
