Proper nounBelize
Derived termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Belize (pronounced /bɛˈliːz/ ( listen)) (formerly British Honduras), is a country in Central America. Belize has a diverse society, comprising many cultures and languages. Although Kriol and Spanish are spoken among the population, Belize is the only country in Central America where English is the official language. Belize is bordered by Mexico to its north, by Guatemala to its south and west, and by the Caribbean Sea to the east. With 8,867 square miles (22,960 km²) of land and 320,000 people (2008 est.), the population density of Belize is the lowest in the Central American region, and it also has one of the lowest population densities in the world. However, the country's population growth rate, 2.21% (2008 est.), is the highest in the region and one of the highest in the western hemisphere. Belize's abundance of biologically significant and unique ecosystems contributes to Mesoamerica's designation as a biodiversity "hotspot". Belize is culturally unique among Central American nations. It is the only nation in Central America with a British colonial heritage, although as a part of the Western Caribbean Zone, it shares this heritage with the Caribbean portions of other Central American countries. Despite this, Belize considers itself to be a Central American nation affiliated with both the Caribbean and Latin America. From Wikipedia under the

Does anyone know of any good dishes to try there? Q. I'm skipping off to Belize tomorrow for a few days and am trying to figure out what kind of food to pack. If anyone has been to Belize and knows any vegan suggestions that would be great. My buddies that are going with aren't vegetarian so I don't want to go without being prepared. Thanks mates! Asked by Gal on a Jet Plane - Mon Feb 19 14:03:39 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Well I actually went there for several weeks before I was fully vegan...and let's just say the good thing is that you can buy some dried and canned goods at the markets. Most restaurants are really into the meat/fish thing and for some reason they really like their cole slaw??? I survived off ordering potatoes and buying granola (muesli really) at the stores...you can try and find places that offer kitchens so you can start cooking things instead of being totally saddened at most restaurants.
