What Macaroni pie is
Baked macaroni with cheese and seasoning, a Sunday staple.
Macaroni pie is listed as a dish in the Barbados guide, where the index tags it vegetarian and familiar flavours. That is the useful shorthand, but it is not the whole story: the same name can cover a breakfast version, a street version and a restaurant version with different garnishes and prices.

Macaroni pie is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Barbados. Markets and casual counters are the best value; the sit-down restaurant version is usually larger and more expensive.
