CHAPTERS
0:00 - Introduction
0:25 - 🥃 A guided tour of a historic rum distillery turned museum, where we learned how rum was traditionally made from sugarcane—and sampled six or seven strong local rums!
0:45 - 🏛️ A surprising stop at a site where President George H.W. Bush met the French President for peace talks after the Gulf War.
1:05 - 🍌 A look at the lush banana, vanilla, and citrus plantations that showcase Martinique’s rich agricultural heritage.
3:56 - 🍴 A once-in-a-lifetime cooking demo and lunch with Martinique’s most famous TV chef, Prisca Morjon @MaCuisineCreole where we learned about Creole cuisine, cooked salted cod fritters, mashed green bananas (yes, they're considered a vegetable!), and enjoyed a delicious dessert of caramelized pineapple and coconut ice cream.
8:07 -🍹 We also learned how to make Martinique’s national drink, Ti’ Punch, and share the super simple recipe straight from our local host.
2:21 - Though we missed the rum distillery's sculpture garden, the day was packed with culture, history, flavor, and a few strong drinks that left us happily buzzed.
