The
food of the Canary Islands is different to that in the rest of
Spain. When we say food of the Canary Islands we aren't
talking about the majority of the food served in the tourist resorts
which tends to be similar to that served in resorts all over Spain.
Authentic Canarian cooking can be found in some resort restaurants
but generally it can be found in the smaller towns and villages.
Some of the typical dishes include Papas Arrugadas, these are new
potatoes cooked in saltwater until they become wrinkled, this
is a favourite in Canary Island cuisine. Sanocho is a fish stew
which is often served with boiled potatoes and sweet potatoes and
sometimes sweetcorn. It uses a firm fleshed fish like sea
bass.
Salsa Mojo is a sauce which comes in red and green varieties, it
accompanies many dishes including meat, poultry and fish. Mojo verde,
the green variety is made from crushed garlic blended with coriander
and vinegar. Salad as a first course is popular in Canarian cuisine,
the salads can contain avocado, bananas, corriander with the normal
salad ingredients. A popular cheese in the Canaries is
Almogrote, a hard cheese similar in texture to parmesan which is
usually served with bread. Gofio is a grain which was
originally eaten by the Guanches the original inhabitants of the
Canary Islands and is still used today in Canarian cuisine. Rabbit
and Goat are favourites in Canarian cuisine usually served with Mojo
sauce.

"I
just wanted to email you to thank you for our order - both
parts were another triumph!
My parents thoroughly enjoyed the
meal that we purchased for them as an early Father's Day
treat - my father said that the lamb was some of the best
he'd ever tasted and the lemon sorbet was utterly
delicious. My mother said her own vegetarian meal was also
very tasty indeed!
We really enjoyed our
picnic - it felt thoroughly decadent and we had some very
jealous glances from other people at the open air festival
we went to! - And there was so much that we still had
enough left for a second picnic today!
Thanks again for another superb
product! There's really nobody to beat you!"
Alison Coates, Preston
"I just wanted to say how impressed we were with this
order. The food was plentiful and excellent quality
- Im sure we will order from you again before too long." Joanne, Leicestershire
"Hi, just a quick email to say thanks. I have just had my
second order delivered from yourselves, your service is
excellent, your food is superb! and I will certainly be
ordering from you again in the very near future.
Thanks again." Dave Carton, Hants
"Recently
ordered 'beefy banquet' absolutely superb !!! really
impressed, will be back for more !!" Rachel Kenwright-Hughes, West Midlands
"I must write
and let you know how delighted my mother was with her
Mother's Day Banquet-in-a-Box. This was
something new this year instead of flowers and chocs and she
was so pleased to receive this meal which she said was
excellent in all ways, even down to the packaging. Peter Mitton
I just
wanted to say how pleased I was with the meal I had on New
Years Eve courtesy of Banquet in a Box. The food was
gorgeous and easy to prepare. I definitely would order
from you again! Also I wanted to say how helpful the
staff were, they really made ordering easy and also changed
parts of my order when I realised I had chosen the incorrect
delivery date - a pleasure to order from."
Lorraine Peters, Kent
"I've just placed my third
order and just want to say that your food is absolutely
fantastic!"
L Wark, East Ayrshire
"Thank you
so much for delivery of my order. Again, I am very
impressed with the packaging and labelling of the
food, which always arrives in excellent order.
Everything tastes superb and all the
instructions are spot-on (very important !)."
Mrs G Horstmann,
Penzance, Cornwall
"Many
thanks for the wonderful service...the box of scallops was an
anniversary present and was a huge success." Lesley
Kettle, Perthshire
"Last
week, I placed my first ever order with Banquet in a Box.
Everything arrived perfectly packaged and
on time, and we have eaten everything from
the order over this Easter Weekend. I have to say that
the quality of the food was superb, and I
shall definitely be ordering from you again within the next
few weeks. The Lamb Shanks were out of this world, and your
puddings were absolutely delicious. I am
now tempted to order two of every pudding on your menu
because, if they all taste as good as the Chocolate and the
Passionfruit Bavarois, then I would happily live on puddings
alone for a week or two!" Joanna Gardner, Cheltenham
"I would
just like to add that last night I used the food I ordered
earlier in the week when friends from New Zealand visited. We
were all very impressed with both taste and
quality of the products. I had to look after my 2 year old
Grandaughter this week so I knew my time would be limited
regarding shopping and food preperation so finding your
website was wonderful. I managed to sit and enjoy a lovely
meal with friends without having all the hardwork
beforehand." Jo Redfern, Bristol
