People make it different ways and with slightly different ingredients. Typical. However, the most commonly used ingredients are:

8 Oz macaroni, cooked and drained
1 Tablespoon onion, finely chopped
1 Tablespoon green pepper, finely chopped
1 Tablespoon celery, finely chopped
6 Oz Cheddar cheese, Grated
1 Dash pepper
1 Can evaporated milk(12oz)

Add the onion, green pepper and celery to the macaroni; stir. Add one-half of the cheese and stir over low heat until melted. season and stir in evaporated milk. Spoon into a well-greased 8x8x2 baking pan and sprinkle remaining cheese evenly on top. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 F for 20 minutes. Let stand for 10 min and cut into squares to serve. Serves:4-6 and can be frozen.This is an everyday side dish in the Bahamas. You may add a beaten egg to the recipe if you wish! Carrots also go in and mix up nice.

Macaroni pie is mainly eaten with fried or baked chicken or fish along with a nice tasty vegetable salad, potato salad or coleslaw.

There are I think a couple of companies delivering this or their variation - (everyones Mum makes the best) in the London area. Try the web for contacts. Drink lots of rum punch, and chill. Tatses like proper food should and dead easy.

Get yourself a Legends bt Banks at: www.beersofeurope.co.uk. (cut and paste the link). Not sure if Banks are exporting yet - were plans to.

If you want a contact tel no. for a guy bring in Banks have a look at the review on: http://www.bottledbeer.co.uk/index.html?beerid=11 and scroll down the comments, and look at comment from James Blackett. It also says there that Bajan beer is the same, brewed under licance - ie local water with original recipe. If not, its back to the Red Stripe!
