Soups include "giambo" ("Aruban style okra bouillabaisse") and "sopi mondongo" ("tripe soup").

Main courses include "keri keri" ("grated stewed fish") and "keshi yena" ("filled cheese shell").

Side dishes include "pan bati" ("Aruban pancake") and "funchi" ("Aruban polenta" or "cornmeal mush").

Snacks include "bolita di keshi" ("cheese balls").

Desserts include "cocada" ("coconut candy") and "soenchi" ("meringue kisses").

Makapruim and shimarucu are two native fruits on Aruba that are cherished by Arubans. Makapruims [Spondias purpurea] are Spanish plums. Their color ranges from violet to yellow. They contain ascorbic acid [Vitamin C], calcium, iron, and phosphorus.

Shimarucu [Malpighia punicifolia] also is known as Barbados cherry, Caribbean cherry, and sometimes West Indian cherry. One single shimarucu provides the minimum daily requirement for ascorbic acid [Vitamin C].

Keshi yena [filled cheese shell] is one of the most popular traditional main dishes of Aruba . The shell [thin rind] of a wheel of Edam or Gouda cheese is filled with a spicy meat mixture, usually chicken or beef, and then baked. Or, instead of a shell, a casserole pan is lined with slices of Edam or Gouda.
