Banana Daiquiri Yum! - Need I say more?
Conch Fritters - Plan ahead since you'll probably have to special order the conch.
Jerk Chicken - Jerk is the wonderful Jamaican spice blend.
You can adjust the heat by modifying the amount of chile peppers if anyone in your group is very sensitive to the heat.
Macadamia Crusted Yellowtail with Mango-Papaya Salsa - This recipe blends a number of flavors from the Caribbean.
Caribbean Cucumber Salad - Be careful, this refreshing salad bites back!
Virgin Islands Johnny Bakes - Although usually served as an "eat on the run" food in the Caribbean, this recipe will add to the educational value of your dinner.
Fried Plantains - Plantains often fulfill the starchy position of potatoes on a Caribbean platter.
Coconut Flan - You can't forget to include coconuts in your tasting of the tropics. And don't forget the Jimmy Buffett cds!

That is definitely calling for some rice and peas with a side of spicy red cabbage cole slaw. Don't forget the fried plantains. A nice sorrel flavored or ginger flavored lemonade will also hit the spot.
Have plenty of lime and cilantro for garnish.
Honestly cornbread is feeling kinda Southern to me, so I'd use the cornbread and make them more carribean-like appetizers.
Get a mini-muffin pan and make buljol, its like vinegared salted fish with onions, tomatoes and peppers and top each corn bread with a spoonful of the salted fish to start.
Then I'd lead off with the pulled pork, rice and peas, spicy red cabbage cole slaw and fried plantains.
You should be set.

Don't forget the dessert! Cut up Mango and Pineapple and add some shredded coconut. For a side dish try some greens. Kalilou (sp?) is a specialty in the Carribean. Look it up on the internet.

Sweet potatoes boiled and mashed with butter, ginger, cinnamon and clove added. It's nice if the ginger is fresh and grated, but the spices can be good old McCormicks or whatever you have.
I haven't tried allspice, but I wouldn't be afraid to. It's a Jamaican spice.

Don't forget the fruit salad. Use tropical fruits a tiny bit of sugar and some lemon juice...maybe some mint.
