AFRICAN TIGRESS, YOUR KENYAN SISTER
The bees are buzzing.
Tigress, the way you interact with the people is as if you have known them all your life.
They have made you you an adopted Barbadian. You fit right in. I can see you returning there.
We have shaved ice and syrup in two forms here in Jamaica. When it is in the cup we call it snow cone and when it is in a plastic bag we call it sky juice. I haven't seen pple selling them in a while though.
Bajans are some of the friendliest, well educated, polite, and well mannered people in the Caribbean.
Trust me I'm Barbadian by descent and Barbadians like most other islanders do not adopt people as their own.
@@rosahacketts1668 Please would you elaborate on your comment a little?
Yes , the power of love, brotherhood and sisterhood and God . Very emotional ❤
I’ve fallen in love with Barbados & it’s ppl through these vlogs. Thank you so much for sharing. Jamaica is always hyped up the most, but I think I’ll make Barbados my first Caribbean country to visit instead.
Jamaica is a great country and isn’t competing with other countries. Enjoy yourself in Barbados.
@rafaelw8115 Yes, it is a Caribbean island. It's just not in the Caribbean Sea...
Caribbean all the way… if Guyana is in South America and is Caribbean what do you about about BIM🇧🇧..Carib sea in the front Atlantic in the back.. god bless BIM 🇧🇧❤️🇧🇧❤️
@rafaelw8115 Do you think that the "Caribbean" is the same thing as the body of water called the "Caribbean sea"?
It's about the lines of latitude and longitude put there by the cartographers that divided up the globe, not myself.
If you have a problem with Barbados being in the Caribbean, you can take it up with those who drew the world map and placed the coordinates where they did...
It's a beautiful island. Very expensive but beautiful.
Barbados is a warm tropical and friendly Island.
Well not so friendly. It depends who you talk to. I'm of Barbadian heritage and they just about accept me - only because of my parents. They're very protective about their island and heritage.
😅😅 you're a genius
What a beautiful place, people, vibe! Everybody looks so friendly and I couldn’t expect Barbados 🇧🇧 to be this expensive!
African Tigress you are touching alot of people live with your videos. Keep doing what you are doing. Always be yourself.
Wow the Bajan snack foods look so amazing from the snowcones, jam puffs ,fish cakes to the conkies now got your viewers are all yearning to travel to the beautiful island of Barbados 🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧 Love the Bajan people hospitality it comes out from your videos . Rise ! 🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥
We love the vibe of the Bajan lady she has a good vibe what’s her social media handle ? Thanks

Barbados is beautiful and the people are very friendly! I really enjoyed the video! Nice!
Some are most are rude. And I say that as an person of Barbadian heritage.
What a friendly, calm, respectful, polite and welcoming people - the Bajans. And African Tigress is bringing out the best from them, with her non-judgemental approach. I'm loving it!
I love them ❤️🇧🇧🇧🇧❤️
It was great to hear fromthose Bajans who had travelled to Africa! I know for sure that it’s not cheap
Bajan are the most welcoming and friendliest pple
Corn meal, sweet potato, pumpkin, coconut, nutmeg,spice, butter, raisin,
Lynn,
Maggots! I have never heard Ackee described in that way before😄😄. Some people think it looks like scrambled eggs when cooked.
Ackee and Saltfish is the national dish of Jamaica. You should try it when you go to Jamaica.
Ackee is a fruit not a vegetable and it is said to be poisonous if not cooked properly. It is not indigenous to Jamaica. It was shipped to the island from Africa (I believe Ghana).
Beautiful vlog , nice market... keep tight and have a blessed day 🎉
What a friendly country. I hope they can welcome me like this.
We will, we’re the six region of Africa. We welcome our brother and sisters from the continent.
@@shell5988Can you help or have a suggestion about how to find affordable housing or roommates?
I am salivating for a conkie. Ooooh so good!
HELLO SWEETHEART TIGRESS, I'M GLAD YOU ARE HAVING MAD FUN IN THE CARIBBEAN ❤️🇺🇲
I love the Bajan accent. Almost sounds British.
We were colonized by the British, it rubbed off..
Listen to someone from Devon and Somerset, and you'll hear their similarities😅
@@shell5988Do you live at the Island?
@@Onlyfacts0224 I don’t live on the island but visit to see family regularly. Most people have to leave when you’re older, they’re not a lot of jobs outside tourism.
So friendly.
Ladies the most important thing in the Connie's or stew dumpling is a special cornmeal,injun corn.AKA Blue draws from jamaica.also your nice spices vanilla essence,cinnamon,
Conkies
In Barbados, fish cake batter is made with salted cod, chives, thyme, marjoram, scotch bonnet pepper, onion, garlic, flour, baking powder and water. The salted cod is washed and boiled to remove the excess salt, then it is shredded and mixed with the chopped herbs. The seasoned fish is stirred into the flour and baking powder, then water is added to turn the dry mixture into a thick batter. It is then dropped into hot oil to be fried into round balls. There are similar foods on the other islands with some small differences in ingredients or texture, and called by different names. Trinidad has something similar called saltfish accra and Jamaica has saltfish fritters, but the "fritters" are flat not round.
Absolutely. I love Barbados. Every time I go back I feel as if I am HOME.
The food looks delicious, this time you tried lots of them. Always loving your content
Thank you 😋
African tigress, Your turn to visit Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 ask the people of Barbados 🇧🇧 we are one people, in the Caribbean, and enjoy the Christmas, and carnival culture, pure love,God bless and guide your journey through the year 🙌
I love Conkie i use to eat it when my grandmother use to bring it from the market and yes there is corn meal in it
Very beautiful ❤️ and clean... enjoy your stay gal.
Trying hard to catch up on all your West Indies videos before your return to T&T (I picked up the hint from you mentioning Panorama in response to one post today). I keep up to date with the Ja ones while sequentially going through the B'dos ones and then the T&T ones.
Anyway, I just started to watch this one and at 1:00, with you and Keea there, I see ackees on the table! (That's ackee, not guinep.) And this is Barbados, so I wonder what they call it. I didn't even think they knew it there! Don't worry though, I will ask Keea on her channel.
--Æ.
Oh, I now got my answer, Tigress. The fuller treatment takes place later on at at 26:35. I could never understand when non-Yardies say it tastes like scrambled eggs. Nothing of the sort!
--Æ.
You are so keen Ackee you becoming my favorite 🫂
One of the most important things in Conkie is Corn Flour / Corn Meal. How are you going to make them without that? It is Indian Corn, when grounded it was more coarse than Corn Meal. These days people use a finer ground Corn.
The lady with you is very enjoyable love her personality

This is my sister for life❤
The Jamaican ackee needs to be cleaned on the inside before cooking.
Wow they still keep their blackness, Barbados is beautiful.
This was almost comedic. I was laughing a lot.

Hello lynn and not bad for the little street food you got for 10 dollars despite the cost but the extra you got samosas and konki looks yummy and delicious 😊
Yes and the vibe was plus us the viewers
CONKIE........ that is how to spell it.
@@bonitaweekes4366 thank you Kimberly. Stay blessed
Watching from Nairobi
For conkies, you must grate sweet potato, pumpkin and coconut, then add corn meal, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, almond essence, milk, raisins, plus a little bit of butter and shortening. The mixture is folded in banana leaves and steamed about an hour. It is customarily eaten in November when Barbados celebrates national independence.
Never heard about milk or eggs in conkies
Statistics showed that Barbados pays the one of the highest salary in the carribbean
We have to get 2 dollars for 1 US dollar
While most caribbean islands pay lost more of their dollars to the UD dollar
So things will be less expensive in other islands than in barbados.
However we have free education from cradle to the grave free Healthcare for who desire it
The standard of living, salaries, and value of the Bds $ are higher than many other islands (and several African countries). If you have US $$ to spend in other islands, you get more bang for the buck, but for the nationals who use their local currency, it’s quite expensive.
Ackee and salt fish our national dish 😋, hurry up n come Tigress I'll cook it for u🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
0:59 We call the Konke tie a leaf aka dukunoo or blue draws We mostly use cornmeal to make it. More importantly, we use sections of the banana trunk to make strings to tie the folded leaf to hold the mixture in place hence the name tie a leaf. 🤣
My mother used cornmeal, green bananas, raisins, coconut and spices to make tie a leaf aka blue drawers. Yummy😋🇺🇲
Ican see u r a Jamaican too ,never had their version of dukunoo or blue draws.
@@granvillemeikle3894 Yes I am. it is very good.
A lot of bajan ppl grows they own fruits and vegetables,
If not you have to pay for it
lovely barbados 254 love
It's Area Code Is 246 🇧🇧😎
Thats my kenyan code i was sayimg i love barbados love from kenya@@maztrex3598
16:50 The one with the jam looks like our plantain tart, You won't find it on the streets here though. We also have the one with the coconut here as well as the one with the icing on top. #pastries
That was plenty for $10 US. I travel but live in US.
Tigergress those lady's miss advised you for making Conkies .The most important ingredient they leave out is the yellow Corn which is call Indian Corn. In Kenya you all have the white Maize which is your main food .all the other ingredients are right..Tigergress it's nice having you in our country. Do enjoyed your stay.❤❤
Sorry, but I've never seen a Bajan put Ketchup on a fish cake. Pepper sauce maybe but not ketchup.
The fish cake sounds like what we call saltfish fritters here., The fritters mixture is made with more water. It looks like our fried dumpling aka Johnny/journey cake
Exactly! That's what I was thinking as well.
Where are you from?
@@vittmanvittman4915 Jamaica
In the Building watching from Baltimore MD😎😎😎
I wish you were here met Prof Akombo today
@@AFRICANTIGRESS he is my buddy , also a lecturer at University of West Indies 😎
Shaved ice is better than crushed ice for making snow cone, but it was truly surprising to know African Tigress never had snow cone before in all her life.
We dont have it in Kenya
Thats the beauty of travel. You can spot business opportunities if you have an entrepreneurial mind to introduce back home.
@@AFRICANTIGRESSOh, okay, then you can set up your own business when you get back to Kenya. Snow cone sells well in warmer countries.
The snowcone is actually shaved ice, not crushed ice
Ackee taste nothing like eggs, it only loos like scrambled eggs.
Barbados expense doe. BTW the sister should NEVER violate fishcake again by adding ketchup??!! Lol
I don’t think Barbados is the most expensive but one of the most expensive. However you will judge for yourself when you visit the other islands
You could be right,I assume Cayman is more expensive.
The Bahamas is very expensive also.
Jamaica should be on the list as one of the most expensive
That was Oshaka Riley, one of the lead singers with Anderson "Blood" Armstrong and Alison Hinds of the defunct soca band SquareOne selling the Jamaican ackees.
Bridgetown is Ever Live.
Plantain don't HAVE to be cooked but many people do cook it.
I mostly buy plantain if bananas are scarce and eat them in place of until I get bananas 😉
Only fry plantain for my mother.
Nice one , that pumpkin wrapped reminds me of Matooke in banana leaves.
African Tigress, I think you and your Host did very well on shopping with only $10.00 because food and everything is so expensive in the States and the Islands also!!!
I need 2 meat rolls and 2 turnovers and throw in 2 sugar cakes and the list goes on❤😂
OMG! Sugarcake and coconut turnover.
@@whz366one word...
DIABETES!..😅😅😅
Ackee is originally come from ghana west africa
Not too Bad, though. An individual bottle of water that size is also $1 in New York.
OH EYE FORGOT TO MENTION DA BERMUDA ISNDA SAME AS US.DOLLAR.
GO FIGURE 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
GOOD 🇰🇪 👍 VIBES😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
That snow cone lady is from Lagos Nigeria and I have had some palm oil for her for about a year. Whenever I try to take it she is not there 😢. Glad you enjoyed Barbados and I have been subscribed and following you for a while now.
Whaaat shes Nigerian?
I knew I heard an African accent 👍🏾
Woooo
44:44 This could pass on as our cocktail patty even though it is shaped and prepared differently. Our patties have chicken, beef, cheese, and lobster filling.
Oh woow cant wait to try soon
KONKI IS called Paime in Trinidad and I love it. That's a lot of food.
Yes Margaret, the konki is our paime in T & T which I absolutely love.
I saw those bees before buzzing around the surup of the snow cone cart….only in barbados.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🇯🇲🇧🇧
28:08 Is wi ackee u calling maggot girl? l DWL 🤣 I am surprised your friend says it tastes like scrambled eggs, sum ting wrong with her taste buds ha ha

I love the African girl she is so sporty and she love our Island Barbados she is loving this beautiful Island
Who doesn't love Barbados!
Loving the contents but I believe ingredient veg missing from conkie can add likkle casava agree??
Boy if they're more expensive than the Bahamas they are really expensive. I really think we are not even considered part of the caribbean.
I dont understand
It is interesting that flies are buzzing no one brushing them away LOL
If you mean by the snow cones, those would be bees
They have moi moi bean cake in Barbados at 0:53 or is that enchilada we have that in Nigeria
What our Nigerian ancestors brought to the island, it's sweet not savoury like Moi Moi.
Don't you put corn meal in it .One of the main ingredients
When I was growing up in Barbados the Snowcone vendor didn’t look like that❤
What did they look like?
@@AFRICANTIGRESS They didn’t look as beautiful as that lady, that’s for sure
That Kunky(??) is straight out of West Africa. In Ghana their version is Kenke (sounds familiar). In Naija there are a variety... and all use ground corn as their base.
The streets very clean but very expensive island .
Dollar 💵 for DOLLAR 💵 US AND BERMUDA 🇧🇲 DA VALUE 😅😅
Visiting is ok staying and live not the same 😊
See you soon
We have jam puffs in African bakeries. Their food is definitely expensive.
Donks are too be eaten just so no salt another thing
Barbados is not that expensive too compare with other islands jam puff is not a bajan thing
The best ways to enjoy the Caribbean is home cook food. Your friend should learn you to cook some Caribbean dishes.
Mind opening on differential price regimes as one venture abroad
Interesting how you are able to view this video yet I haven’t made it public yet! Scheduling it for tomorrow
Dunks,
We call them kunazi in kiswahili. They grow in Kenya, Tanzania coast.
@@anisabaghazal4515 same kind of climate
❤❤❤
Bottle water is priced in the US by brand name, your location and season( lol) .
You can purchase 40 bottles 16 oz at Costco for $3.99 + tax+ bottle deposit.
So that $2 water is not a bad price .
Those Cheetos for $1.50 was a good price, sure ain't 75¢
in the US .😄
A single 500 ml bottle water can be purchased for $1.00 to $1.50 in Toronto
Barbados ❤
153 Kenyan shilling is 1US $ its no way cheaper.
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
African Tigress😜😜
As you are going round with your friend, I try very hard to notice something: I can't see any litter on the street. That means the people are quite civilized
Two things- Bajans are very discipline and full of pride for their country and the other is that they are very dependent on tourism and hence a clean country is always a more welcoming country.
Children are taught from preschool not to litter and we keep our garbage until we find a can.
@@soniadaniel6295GOOD IDEA
Mostly but we can do better
Can give more info on barbados, plus you reside near to me ❤️
It’s expensive in Barbados their currency seem to be dollar based 😢
a dollar will give you 19 litres of bottled water in Nigeria with good change. 500ml of water would cost 15cents in Nigeria
As a solo person how you find friends to take you around?😊
Was that pastelles or payme? Now you see how expensive the Caribbean is. Prices equate or exceed $US equivalent.
Payme
Tigress that snow cone woman was either Nigerian or Ghanaian. 100% from the way she talked.
Intresting i couldnt pick it
Probably from one of our neighbouring islands St. Vincent, St. Lucia. Or maybe even Guyana
That was too much sugar for one day
You eat dukunu or blue draws i will make it fir you when i get their
Is it dunks or downs??
$4 for a Snow Cone with milk? OMG 😱 that’s insane
What should it be?
I bought a small cup of snow cone in Brooklyn ,New York for 5 us dollars. That is ten Barbados dollars.
@@anthonyoliver1433That's what the U.S. does...overcharge for snowcones...
And iPhones...😅😅😅
Last time I was there it cost 1.25
St Lucia is the most expensive Island in the Caribbean.
Oh reallt let me prepare my finances
How did you sum up that opinion ? St Lucia is Not the most expensive island in the Caribbean.
@@mh4335 really you want to tell me about St Lucia.
My friend I’m a born Lucian from the south of the island.
@@patandkercy7902 Barbados is more expensive. Coming from someone who has travelled to multiple Islands including St.Lucia
