Cocada sounds unique and delicious, Bethoven. I think this candy is popular to tourists. So, have you tasted that locally made candy? Do you know what it is made of?

I heard they make cocada, that is actually a local candy. Where do you think we could buy all these local foods? I hope it would be available in one market so that we'll be able to save time.

Are cocadas similar to chocolates? It sounds like it is made from cocoa. Could we find it in the market or there is a particular store that distributes this one?

I love Aruba the taste of Aruba local products like coconut sweets, dutch gouda cheese and tamarind. I've also tried eating Aruba local menu such as the stewed goat, fish soup vegetarian meal and many more.

Was it true that the goat taste like chicken? I haven't eaten stewed goat before and it could be my first time. Where did you order this local menu?

I would think that fish would be a very popular dish in Aruba. Maybe the way it's cooked is different from other parts of the island. Is the fish cooked in a particular way, like smoking it, grilling it, frying it, for example?

I thought of that too. Aruba is surrounded by the bodies of water and there would be plenty of edible sea creatures in the island. We could even request on how it should be cooked. Does anyone knows the most popular fish dish in Aruba?
