    Mark, I absolutely love that you captured this traditional side of Trinidad with the food and the culture. Because of western influence and American franchises, we have become very Westernized in the food we eat and the things we do, along with the way we carry about ourselves. But what you have experienced here is what the culture used to be before the influence took over. Paramin is almost as if Time stood still

It makes me mad I can’t just easily get this food from where I live. Definitely putting TnT in my list when I get to travel more in the future.

    Hi Mark, I am so happy to see you in Paramiin, that's where I am from, you have to be there for the Christmas holidays, then you will know what Paramiin is all about. I came to Canada in 1975, I took my children there every year, sometimes even twice a year, I traveled back there for 27 years, and stop, because of health problems. I missed Paramin so much, there's no place in the world, that is as nice as Paramiin, every body up there knows one another, the love we share is unbelievable, actually the cave belongs to my father, Octave ( Nonom) Romany . Julia is my niece in law. Enjoy Paramin,everything up is organic, even the water comes from the river, and every one lives to old age, you will not want to go back to your country. May God bless you richly for your interest in my village, for showing the rest of the world what nature is. Actually, Paramin is the third tallest mountain in Trinidad. Also Clyde is my relative. Blessings from my heart to you all

      i watch many fufu videos, and the way they recommend to eat it is to dip in the stew and swallow...allyuh could vex if allyuh want but I find that is some stupid BS, and goes to show that not everything "traditonal" is necessarily correct. what is the point if you only going to swallow it? in fact, the whole pounding part is ah waste of time because pounding don't change the taste of anything. In Mark 4th Trini video he went to Brasso Seco, and you see the lady do "boil & fry" method with dasheen/taro which to me is the best way to go. It boiled first! so it soft already and could soak up the stew 10 times better than fufu, and no wasting time pounding anything...even Uncle Clyde plantain could have sliced up right after it boil ready to serve...no loss in taste, the texture is better and you can chew and savor your food...

    Pommecythere is one of many unique and special Caribbean fruit- very sweet and addictive when ripe, and makes a superb chutney when half-ripe (doubles anyone? 😍)
    Chow is indeed a common feature when ‘liming’, it is a seasoned, peppered 🌶️🔥, fresh fruit salad- the most popular choice is mango, but actually any fruit or complimentary fruit combo can be used, and there is a cucumber version made as well, and is normally eaten at the front-end like an appetizer
    Pimento pepper was actually used a lot in this video but not explained enough; it is just as important as the ‘green seasoning’ for prepping Trini dishes. This pepper can safely be eaten raw because there is no heat (we have other peppers for that), but it is packed with immense flavor instead
