Apparently there is some debate if creole sauce is authentically Caribbean. It's a fusion sauce for sure. It mixed French and African traditions with foods available in the region. But, in all fairness, what really is authentic? So much of the food eaten in many parts of the world aren't "authentic" but brought by other peoples as they came to or through the area. Think Italy. Pasta is from China. Tomatoes are new world.
I saw this on several sites for Antigua & Barbuda so, obviously the people who live there eat it. If that doesn't make it authentic, I don't know what does!
