Who’s hungry?
As you may already know, stewed chicken, rice/beans is the preferred meal for the country of Belize. I am quite fond of big ‘ol plate of the stuff my self. It can be found country-wide for usually around $8bz, and that includes tater salad or maybe cole slaw. That’s true with the exception of a nearby resort who has this on their menu for $28bz!!??
I make a version as well but it just ain’t the same.
Maybe I have found out why. I have not been using this authentic Belizean recipe.
So here ya go, it’s even in Kriol.

Wow, that looks really good!
I heard they're going to open another chicken rice/beans franchise a little further down the peninsula.
They'll probably be offering an all you can eat buffet for $56BZ!!?
Hey thanks Barn. Finally, a recipe that makes sense.
Cheers,
Dave
Fortunately, I still have some "rikaado" in my freezer. Thanks for the recipe.
Barn... Que la cena trae a la mente mi comida favorita otros que sabe a pollo... Mantener los refitos Por Favor....
BREAKING NEWS IN MENTAL BREACH!!!
MBBC MEMBER FOUND INNOCENT OF ALL CHARGES
FREE TO GO - JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO FIRST
Yesterday, the 15th of February, one of the MBBC Members and fine upstanding citizen of Mental Breach was found not guilty by the Dangriga Magistrate Court on all charges (Well maybe just one charge of possession of a controlled substance).
The judge rendered his decision with one of the most moving and inspirational oracles I have ever heard, especially from a Magistrate. He would have put Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes to shame. Trust me about this because yours truly has had his share of appearances before judges. I think the whole court was awestruck by the judge's speech. It made me feel good that I was treated like any other Belizean.
Now about who is going to pay for my court costs. I spent the following defending my case:
16 trips to Dangriga Court at $16 per round trip - $96, 1 drug test - $50, 1 photo develeped - $5, celebration costs (rum, beer, one sweet Spanish gal) - $332.50, GRAND TOTAL $493.50
Cost to have plead guilty $300.
So it doesn't take an Einstein to figure out this picture. The only problem is that it goes on your record as a drug charge. Also, I would not have heard the judge's speech which was priceless.
Needless to say yours truly, being a good MBBC Member celebrated yesterday afternoon and evening in South Stann Creek from Dangriga to Independence and back to Seine Bight for a night cap.
Please if anyone would like to make a donation to defray my court costs, please send over a nice Spanish gal or two.
