Nothing Grows on Exuma
Season 3 Episode 12 | 23m 57sVideo has Closed Captions
Chef Staib introduces us to the recipes of Exuma.
After the Revolutionary War, many British Loyalists, who were no longer welcome in America, packed up their belongings, including their slaves, and sailed to Exuma, an island in the Bahamas, to start plantations there. Unable to farm on a tropical island where nothing useful would grow, the plantation owners returned to England, leaving the land to their slaves.
