Mauritians can trace their roots to Madagascar, Zanzibar and East Africa, to the four corners of India and southern China and to the Malay Peninsula and Europe— the legacy of centuries of colonial rule. Now their island’s streets are lined with temples, churches and mosques, alongside roti stands, bistros and noodle houses.
Baby Allken owns a prime piece of Port Louis real estate: a fruit stall at the entrance to the capital’s Central Market fresh produce hall. The market was established around the 1840s and some structures from that colonial era remain, including wrought iron gates crowned with ‘VR’ decorative accents in a nod to Queen Victoria.And it’s for her that the Victoria pineapple, which grows in Mauritius and is smaller and sweeter than other varieties, was named.
Every day except Mondays, Brenda Anthony-Nellan sets up the stall she inherited from her father on Tamarin Bay, a charming setting on the southwest coast of Mauritius. It’s an area that’s popular with in-the-know surfers, and home to a fishing community that brings in marlin and yellowfin tuna on good days.Please be respectful of copyright. Unauthorized use is prohibited.: The best way anyone can learn to cook, according to Brenda’s father, is by watching.
