	Young Jelly Coconut		Red Grout
	A cool, delicious, refreshing, unimaginable tropical drink - a young jelly coconut. My favorite breakfast drink!		Cool, sweet and refreshing. Base is tapioca and guava juice. Topped with home made cream, mmm..
	Tart		Sweet Bread
	Local tart is made of flaky crust that almost melts in your mouth. This tart has half guava and half coconut filling. A great treat!		Some what like the state side fruit cake, but with less assorted fruits. Nice and moist.
	Johnny Cakes		Sweet Mangos
	Fried dough usually served with fry fish or fry chicken.		Tasty, mouth watering mangos are great as a dessert or alone as a treat!
	Vienna Cake		Guavaberry Tart
	Frosting on top of cake with layers of plain cake and various fruit mixtures and mint jelly in between exceedingly flavored with Crucian Rum! A Special Occasion Cake.		Guavaberry Tart is made with guava berries. It is delicious and usually made during Christmas time. Presently, the guava berries is difficult to get in the Virgin Islands and therefore it is imported from other islands.
