Our final day. Today we got to experience a different side of Belize. Our time here has been so packed full and I wouldn’t have it any other way. This morning we broke off into smaller groups again and walked through town to eat breakfast looking for conversations where we could. Our group ate at this little place off Back street called Boogies Belly! And it was amazing. This was more a traditional Belizean restaurant. They had meat pies… which are apparently big here as a lot of the people who were stopping in on their way to work were ordering these. They also have the fryjack which was something else that Wayne (half-inch) recommended as well as a number of other locals we spoke to along the way. It’s deep fried dough (not a sweet dough though.. that was shaped like an extra large burrito shell) it is then filled with eggs, cheese, your choice of meat, and of course, beans. They had a whole menu of fry items. I opted for the fryjack which I recommend. If you are in Belize- eat a fryjack for breakfast. One of the teen girls got a stuff jack which is all of the same items of the fryjack only they stuff it then EVERYTHING is deep fried together! They seem to really like deep fried breakfast items here. I now have a list of some staple Belizean foods and these deep fried items and coleslaw are on that list!
