There are a lot of dishes - with meat, fish, or vegetable. One thing they have in common is: they are not very hot (unlike African food). They use cooked bananas for almost all the dishes (they are smaller than the sweet ones, harder, and they taste a little bit like potatoes). A considerable amount of fat/oil used (at least by the poor people in the country - maybe because this lasts in the stomach for a long time, and it takes longer before you get hungry again). The chicken are rather small - almost like pidgeons. So when you are very hungry you should eat two. There is also rice, and potatoes, but the cooked bananas are most frequently used. And there are a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, e.g. avocados, coconuts...
