Dominica

Dominica is largely rural, uncrowded and unspoiled. It has a lush mountainous interior of rain forests, waterfalls, lakes, hot springs and rivers, many of which cascade over steep cliff faces en route to the coast. Apart from its natural splendors, including the highest mountains in the Eastern Caribbean, the island has an interesting fusion of British, French, and West Indian cultural traditions, and is home to the Eastern Caribbean's largest Carib Indian community. The best time to visit is December to February. Drink for Dominica is fruit punch made with fresh fruit and rum or the locally brewed beer Kubuli. Dominica's national dish is the mountain chicken, which is not a chicken at all but rather the legs of a giant frog called the crapaud, which is endemic to Dominica and Montserrat. Found at higher elevations, it's a protected species and can only be caught between autumn and February. Crapaud met is white and tastes like Chicken.
