"Friendsgiving Nachos" (Hastings, Barbados)

I apologize, the blog has been lacking. However, must admit it is hard to find new nacho spots on this island.  Anyways, didn't make it home for Thanksgiving as flights were too expensive so I decided to create a little friendsgiving celebration the following Saturday.  Surprisingly enough I don't have any American friends here in Barbados so I was able to introduce everyone to a new tradition.  Turkeys are also hard to find on this little island so we opted for whole chickens.  But, before we jump to the main course let's discuss appetizers.  Well, I have made a great new friend Henri, from Denmark who informed me that she'd be making some Mexican chips and dips to contribute to the feast.  Boy was I glad I had invited her.  Henri had spent two years at school in Mexico so I knew these dips were going to be delicious.  I was not disappointed.  When Henri arrived via bicycle she had managed to fit five bags of chips and two containers of dips in her basket.  She told me she had made a fresh, authentic guacamole and a black bean and cheese dip. WHOA is all I can say. Best guac I've had in my whole life hands down.  The flavor was out of this world.  Nice and spicy, with fresh lime juice, avocados and hot peppers.  Mhmmmm I couldn't stop eating..big surprise.  Then, there was the black bean dip..wow again! Not too salty as some bean dips can be, and just the right amount of kick. Both dips were outstanding as was our little Thanksgiving celebration. Would you believe that out of eleven of us eight countries were represented- Australia, Barbados, Canada, Denmark, England, Finland, US and Zimbabwe. Such a diverse mix and never a dull moment..except for when everyone passed out before the meal..had to explain its tradition to sleep afterwards..but that's what rum does to you. Greatest dips I've ever had. Guac gets a 10/10 and bean dip a 9.5/10.
