House parties are a big part of living in Roatan. There’s nothing like having a house full of fellow divers and drunks enjoying a home-cooked meal. In traditional Cult of Coconut fashion, everyone pitches in a bit to make the end result of the cooperative cooking process orgasmic for the tongue.

Sometimes we hit on real winners, so I’ve decided to post some of the better recipes for the community to enjoy. All the ingredients for this recipe can be purchased for 600-700 lempiras and easily will feed the whole crowd.
