    Trinindad's street food abounds with Indian names like sahina, aloo pie and baghani. Trinny's, as Trinidadians call themselves, are born nibblers. Eating on the street is a way of life, and at times it seems as though everyone is munching away on a snack or sipping from a coconut, or lined up awaiting the next tasty tidbit. Chef Debra Sardinha-Metivier gives us a crash course in Trinidadian street food 101.

    WTZF, the cooked tarro leaf with ochroes is calalloo. Saheena is the tarro leaf steamed and rolled in split pea powder rolled and fried. This woman gives misinformation.

    • @alieninthecaribbean
      @alieninthecaribbean 9 років тому +13

      Sometime we take this "we doh catah" thing too far. You not going to lose your Trini authenticity by speaking proper English when dealing with people from other parts of the world. Sometimes you have to compromise and meet the world half-way in order to be understood and not be considered a ignorant person. Even Sprangalang tones it down (and he is an old Naps boy so he very eloquent) or explains the jargon when dealing with foreign people. Being understood is more important than, "keeping it real". If you not understood you don't COUNT, what you say doesn't COUNT.
      They already looking at our dark skin and Caribbean nationality and assuming we uneducated, it's good to shock them with some Queen's English sometimes, which when we master it, plus add our little unique inflection and colorful turn of phrase is quite an impressive thing to hear. We speak it better than even the Americans or British do.

    This is the most inaccurate review ever. For starters it look like this girl dont know how any of these things are actually made..sahina is made with baji not callaloo..the pies are NOT stuffed afterwards with the filling.. it is fried with the potatoe or egg plants inside of it.. and lastly, SWEETSAUCE IS NOT FOR DOUBLES. Thank you.

    • @bertillehunte3242
      @bertillehunte3242 4 роки тому +1

  • @creepycrawly101

    • @simonehannaf
      @simonehannaf 6 років тому

      that may be then but the average trini now looks for anything fast and easy to handle so there is a variety of things which can be purchased like you said from roast bake, fry bake and sada with shark, saltfish, alloo, baighan and many other fillings to the doubles, alloo pies sahina ect. This is now what most person seek to purchase as street food but they are just the basics. There are a lot more trini street foods that can be added to the list. As we say here variety is the spice of life BTW we love love all the variety of old and new condiments which can vary from location to location.

      The vendor stall where they got the doubles from (The Green Shed) isn't really known for their doubles. They seem to specialize more in saheena, baiganee, and aloo pie. Their doubles are far from their best dish.
