Despite its size, this tiny, beautiful island has an
amazing variety of food and cooking styles. Traders and conquerors have
left their gastronomic mark, but there is also a huge range of distinctive
indigenous dishes. In most Sri Lankan households, the main meal will be
rice with one or two curries, soup, vegetables and a selection of sambols.
Popular breakfast foods include crispy coconut and rice-flour pancakes
called 'hoppers'. |
