You do mean the original boucan, don't you? You know, thin slices of long pig toasted over embers on a grill of green twigs. The delicacy that gave the Caribbean its name :lol:

Yes indeed, I named the delicacy that gave bucaneers their name, from the French boucanier. I thought the Caribbean got it's name from the Carib Indians, who became extinct at some point in the age of colonization. Source? Something I read in James Michener's, Caribbean, so it may be bogus.
