ʻO ka meaʻai o Barbados kahi ipu hoʻoheheʻe maikaʻi o nā mea ʻono e hoʻohui i nā mana mai ʻEnelani, India, a me ʻApelika e hana i nā kīʻaha kupaianaha a like ʻole.
Hoʻohana ka poʻe kuki Bajan i kahi makana nani o nā meaʻai hou kūloko e hana i kekahi o nā kīʻaha ʻono loa o ka honua. ʻO nā kīʻaha Bajan maʻamau āu e hālāwai ai ma ka mokupuni ʻo ia ka macaroni pie, ka iʻa iʻa, ka laiki a me ka pī, conkies, huli niu, a ʻoiaʻiʻo hoʻi ka iʻa lele lele a me ka cou cou.

ʻO ka kīʻaha aupuni o Barbados he meaʻai maikaʻi loa a ʻo ka mea e haʻaheo ai ka poʻe kamaʻāina.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Flying fish is so important to the Bajan people that you'll see a symbol depicting a flying fish on the national currency, and it's even featured in the Barbados Tourism Authority's logo.
- The star of the show is a fillet of steamed or fried flying fish, accompanied by a side of cou cou, which is reminiscent of polenta or grits, for those who are not familiar with the cuisine.
- Or, if you want to be really authentic, you'd use a calabash shell, from the fruit of a tree found growing in the wild in the tropics and America.
