Port of Spain food - always to remember
Trinidad cuisine is as diverse as the different ethnic groups that make up our people. Trinidad's multicultural society gives you the enjoyment of Indian, Creole, Chinese, Syrian-Lebanese and Italian foods. With such a range of choices and flavors, your taste buds are sure to be delighted. For breakfast you can sample our sumptuous salt fish buljol, tomato choka or black pudding served with fresh hot coconut bake or hops bread. Fried Accra, Tannia cakes and boiled cassava with butter are also good to eat. For the main meals, such as lunch and dinner, there are many choices of appetizing foods. Fast foods such as fried chicken, hamburgers, pizzas and lasagnas are available at local and international fast food outlets. Some East Indian favorites include curried chicken, potato, shrimp, goat, duck or beef packages in a roti skin - a special type of pastry. These spicy meals usually come with the added options of curried mango, chataigne (pronounced - shatine) channa (chick peas) pumpkin or mango kuchela. Special potato or aloo pies are also local favorites that can be consumed on the run. A "brown down" of stewed chicken, beef, pork or fish is a tasty and spicy creole dish. This is regularly complemented by a mouth watering array of vegetable side dishes such as "ochro rice" green figs, yam, plantain (a large sweet banana), sweet potatoes, or cassava pie and eddoes in a thick cream sauce. You can also savor a " pelau" made with rice, pigeon peas, and either chicken, beef or pork. Another must is callaloo, uniquely spicy "Trinbagonian" spinach soup. Chinese food is a local favorite. Wantons, lemon chicken, garlic and pepper shrimp and "char sui" pork are all very popular. When it comes to seafood you will find yourself feasting on our many varieties of flying fish, king fish, carite, red fish and bonito. These are best-enjoyed stewed, barbequed or curried with coconut milk. If you want a quick snack you can try our local "shark and bake". If you are ever near to Maracas beach on the north coast of Trinidad, make sure to try this delicacy. Many restaurants serve lobster, shrimp and conch (a giant snail!) with spicy sauces. If you love crab, you must try our seasoned crab backs as an appetizer or some curried crab and dumplings as a main meal. A rare delicacy is cascadura, a small fresh water fish. Local legend has it that if you eat cascadura you will return to Trinidad again and agai
