Everyone knows about the Dodo bird, little did they know it was unique to Mauritius.

​

The island, with its vast colonial history, was visited by the Portuguese between 1507 and 1513. However, the first long-term settlers were the Dutch who named the island after their Prince Maurits Van Nassau. Unfortunately, the Dodo bird landed on the Dutch barbecue, leading to their extinction.

​

Later between 1715 and 1810, the French rule Mauritius, after which the island was captured by the British until the independence of Mauritius in 1968.

​

After the abolition of slavery on the island in 1835, the British went to India, China, Pakistan in search of indentured laborers.

​

Hence, Mauritian cuisine is fusion of European, African, Indian and Chinese influences.
