I loved this video, loved the different examples and comparisons he gave between the 2 islands🇹🇹big up my Jamaicans🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 from Trinidad 🇹🇹love y’all
Love from Jamaica bro
One love, one Caribbean.
I loved that he pointed out that Trinidad , Guyana , and Suriname have roti more
Jamaica got most of the Chinese but we also got Indians too. In some places where the Indians settled their descendants still form a sizeable part of the community...although a LOT of intermarriage has transpired with both groups. In fact, there are lots of darkskinned Jamaicans named Chin, Chung, Chang etc who do not look Chinese at all!😂
You taught us something new! lol
Big up to Trinidad 🇹🇹 👍and Jamaica 🇯🇲👍
Trinidad 🇹🇹 & Jamaica 🇯🇲 are the power houses of the Caribbean. And yes we do say bathing suits in Trinidad 🇹🇹
Who cares, I love all my Caribbean people country cultures 🇯🇲
Power houses, today, will not be power houses, tomorrow, because other countries are becoming more powerful, too.
@@josephwinslow7613 You are a hater
Power house in what
Bake and shark is just a limeing food by maracas beach
Amen! 22:08!! The Ackee pod has to open naturally for it to be considered ripe, it usually starts green then gets red and opens up. Its a fruit but its not sweet, vegans eat it raw. It doesnt have a strong taste, so usually it depends on how its seasoned and cooked.💛💚🖤🖤♥🤍Bring that thang!🤣
Ah! Okay. This makes since. We've only seen it open.
Chinese and Indians are both indentured workers in Jamaica I think the Indian population is larger than the Chinese and you also have the Scottish and Germans as well.
T&T is similar to the nations close to it (except venezuela) Grenada, SVG, Barbados, Guyana. Having been to Jamaica a long time ago, I didn't find it too similar.
We are gradually being taken over by the Venezuelians; learning to speak Spanish😁😁😁
@@wazeedali9673 yep an unfortunate fact lol
Jamaica, is the most different of all the British West Indies .
Trinidad seems to have influenced the smaller islands more than Jamaica.
@@avibhagan A lot of Trinis have relatives in the eastern Caribbean and some in Guyana
@@jujutrini8412 yes, you are very correct . Venezueleans have always been in Trinidad living, working and also trading. Their culture has a great impact on ours. I am also close to my 80s so I know
Roti is one of my favorite.
Excellent V log! I enjoyed the differences pointed out.
Trinidad 's carnival is on a much wider scope though. The steelpan music is of another dimension and it is huge! Competition starts in December and continues to whatever date carnival is set up to be, February or March.
You can do a whole segment on this. The carnival competition is also on You Tube
Indeed. Carnival wasn't a thing outside of UWI in Ja until the 90s
Fun fact: the shipment of indians servants were suppose to come to jamaica but they split it with most goin to guyana and t&t and jamaica get the small amount
NICE VIDEO! I always enjoy watching you two. Keep up the good work.
Ackee is ripe when the pods open up on the tree naturally. Then it can be eaten. It's is considered a fruit because it has a seed. That's what qualifies it as a fruit even though the don't eat it like a fruit because you have to cook it.
It weren’t just Chinese that went to Jamaica, there was a lot of Indians. Same with Trinidad it weren’t just Indians that went there, there was a lot of Chinese. But yes there was definitely more Chinese in Jamaica and more Indians in Trinidad. Big up Jamaica & Trinidad 🇯🇲🇹🇹
Yes, most of our street food is fried, especially indian dishes. However, at home cooks use less oil/fat.
Each country has its unique dishes or way of preparing food. We sometimes call fruits and vegetables different names.
My mother was Jamaican, so I know about both. Both countries (whole Caribbean) season their food with more spice n herbs than your typical European.
It's not correct or fair to say one country's food is better than the other. It all depends on your personal preferences.
As long as the Ackee is open, it's ready to cook and not poisonous. When it's closed, don't force open it....That's when it's poisonous
Trinibad and Jamaica are the Giants of the Caribbean.They influences the culture and media.They are the best and the worst at the same time.A dynamic most other island cant relate to. 😅😅🇯🇲🇹🇹
Jamaica is the Giant of the Caribbean culturally. Trinidad is economically
Trinidad not Trinibad
@@paulfrancis253 Trinibad
@@sportreelz7025 Jamaica is all so the logistic hub.
@@sportreelz7025 agree
A quick note about the demographic makeup of Trinidad. In 1838 when Slavery ended, the island's population was just over 1000. (less than Tobago at the time if I am not mistaken) This led to the introduction of indentured labourers. Another contributor to the population over the past century has been people from the surrounding islands, a trend that continues today.
Jamaican here: the ackee is ripe when the pod which is the pink outer covering is open. So it grows on the tree closed and when it is ripe the pods open and you can see the black seeds peeking out it's ripe but it's best not to buy it from vender because some vendors pick it from the tree before it opens by itself and force it open to sell it and that is poisonous. It has to open on the tree by itself to be safe. So most people get it directly from the tree or if you have a friend that has the tree just to be safe. My cousin died because they bought the ackee from a vender who forced it open before it opened by itself.
You guys are incredible. I love the vibes you give off
Trinidad also has lots of Chinese people. I grew up in Trinidad until the age of 12, in our town we had Chinese businesses. I remembered a Chinese family our owned a laundry where they would steam and press your clothes, their kids went to the same school as we did. We would all play together in the streets. Also, we had local white families, their parents were mostly employed with the oil and gas industry. My dad worked for Shell and BP petroleum companies, he would sometimes have British and American work colleagues eating and drinking at our home.
Im back! I soooooo love this couple!
We also make badjhi rice ,which is badjhi and rice ,cooked down in ciconut milk,with pigtail or saltfish.
From it is open up on the tree the ackee is good to cook
Yes, bake and shark is good eating. My kids live in America, when I take them back home in Trinidad and Tobago, and they head for Bake and shark, and doubles, before even we get home.
The weather is the same ,but the dialect is.different,we all speak broken english,but the accent is different. The food is similar too with a slightly different twist ,and called by a different name.
We need a geography now trinidad and tobago reaction
Ackee pods open naturally on the tree when they’re ready. If they’re not open, they’re not ready and should be left alone! The preparation is fairly easy once you know how! As far as I know, no Jamaican has ever been poisoned by Ackee!
Chinese and Portuguese indentured laborers also went to Trinidad and Tobago.
When you all get to Trinidad. Hit me up. I'll take you guys to some hidden gems
In St.Vincent our national food is breadfruit and salt fish or the coth fish salted.We have so many to choose from, please visit the Islands, you wouldn't regret it.
My favorite when I’m in Vincy is Blackfish! 🇹🇹
This video was amazing
Thats like asking if all American states are the same. NO WE ARE NOT! Doesnt matter if we speak the same language or look the same, we all have our unique accents, cultures, demographics, languages based on our respective nationalities.
Jamaica cooks both gungo peas and pigeon peas. Trinidad imitates Jamaican rice and peas recipes sometimes. Trinidad originally is pelau. Also, Jamaican calaloo is not made with the same leaves as Trinidad calaloo and is a total different recipe. There are bud peppers in Jamaica as well. It grows wildly in rural areas. 100k Indians went to Trinidad, 80k went to Jamaica. Jamaica has a bigger Chinese population
Gungo is a Jamaican Patwa word
@@NativeNomad10 That too
We take no food from jamaica, look at how you brown your meat by burning it and adding browning, that's cheating, in Trinidad and the rest of the eastern Caribbean we skillfully burn the sugar to brown our meat it tast magnificent 😋
"Pelau" is a French creole version of Indian "Pilau". Trinidad did not imitate anything from Jamaica.
@@sportreelz7025 How Alice cook she crab 🦀 🤣🤣😅😅 that is definitely not trini style cooking my G
Well I won’t say we Are the same but I would say we experience the same things and eat the same things but we all have smth we do differently
Ackee is a fruit. If it is picked before the fruit is ripened you will be poisoned. So the fruit must open NATURALLY before use.
THE ACKEE IS RIPE WHEN IT OPEN BY ITSELF ON THE TREE
WHEN IT IS FULL AND NOT OPEN ON THE GROUND SAY A BRANCH BREAK OFF WE LET THEM OPEN BY THEMSELVES BEFORE WE PICK IT OFF
As a Jamaican I must tell you alot of us don't like China and some also dislike the motto.
Both Chinese and Indians came to Jamaica. There isn't a lot of Chinese who are from Jamaica. Most of the Chinese that are in Jamaica do not understand English langiage, because they came for temporary work, then go back home
Whenever you can see the fruit in the tree it's ready
If You Wanna Compare Jamaica With A Country .... It Should Be Ghana Not Trinidad ... Really, With Jamaican Culture And Life Of Living Is Completely Differently
It can't be compared to just Ghana, but all West African countries. Jamaica is influenced by them and in return influenced them
What is Jamaican that is Ghanaian. And what is Ghanaian that is Jamaican?
@Joseph Winslow Just research that, please. No disrespect, but the Internet is at your disposal. Google it
Not just Ghana, all of West Africa especially Nigeria.
@@sportreelz7025 90% of us are either from Nigeria or Ghana, rest is minority so they don't count
Some of what he said are not factual but maybe his opinion or perception
There are selfish scammers and con men/women everywhere. Take the same precautions overseas that you take at home. Don't be too trusting or gullible.
Hoping you will visit Jamaica. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲😁
We're never too trusting of anyone, fam. See y'all in October!
IN JAMAICA THE ROTI AND CURRY IS A INDIAN THING BUT OTHER GROUPE USE THE CURRY HARD
People eat shark a lot in the caribbean.We catch whale yearly in St.Vincent, the meat is really good, just to clarify.
Not in Jamaica, unless it's used to make saltfish, which we wouldn't know.
We eat shark in jamaica but not whale
@@infocentre4035 I was referring SVG, when it comes to whale 😆 🤣 😂
@@infocentre4035 Yes, I was referring to svg 😆 🤣 😂
@Info Centre where in Jamaica we eat shark, and in what dish other than it being used for saltfish?
Black pudding IS blood pudding, adopted from the Brits
Clean up de corruption and crime bro...
We say bathing suit or bath suit in Jamaica
Jamaica received BOTH Indians and Chinese. Trinidad resulted in a much larger Indian population.
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I wish he had taken some time to learn how to pronounce the foods and vegetables, just butchering some of the names lol
Jamaica Cooks rice totally different from Trinidad and Guyana. Trinidad and Guyana boils rice in a pot of water and then strain off the rice. All the enzymes and flavor is strained off in the water. Jamaica on the other hand, boils down the rice in the water. Similar to a rice cooker. Nothing is strained off, so you get the good rice flavor. I went to college with a lot of Trinidadians and when they realize my way, the Jamaican way of cooking rice was better, they all agreed that I would be the cook in the house. Jamaican cooking is heavily west African with British, Indian, Chinese influences. 😮
Most of the Caribbean cooks rice like Jamaicans. They imitate a lot of Jamaican recipes until eventually, it becomes a part of their everyday cuisine. I haven't seen a Trinidadian nor Guyanese cook rice that way.
@@sportreelz7025Trinidadians and Guyanese are starting to cook rice like Jamaicans but I am telling you that boiling rice in a pot of water and straining off the rice is how they cook rice in Trinidad and Guyana for decades. My wife is from Guyana. This is how she cook white rice and I have many friends from Trinidad and this is how they cook rice. The only rice where they dont strain off the water is cook up rice or pelau. In recent times some of them start to cook white rice similar to Jamaicans but some still boil rice and strain it off. It's just an observation from being around a lot of Guyanese and Trinidadians.
@Stewy 1156 I get what you're saying, I also noticed that a lot of dishes with Jamaican recipes are imitated by them as well. I think Trinidad imitates every dish Jamaica cook. From corn beef and rice, to Irish moss, and even our cabbage to our national dish, oxtail or dumplings recipe. Search for any of Jamaican dishes cooked by them and you'll see it with the same recipe. They will also argue that they are not following Jamaica, but they are colonizing Jamaica culture and want to even compare themselves with Jamaicans regarding what they imitate.
@@sportreelz7025 I personally had Trinidad friends tell me that they are getting tired of their food because most of their cuisine is oily oily and mostly fried. They like Jamaican food because we do a lot of baking, grilling and steaming. Jerk Chicken is grilled, snapper is steam. A lot of Jamaicans cook curry goat and curry chicken and brown stew chicken without oil. Not to mention the Rastafari ital cooking. And it's not only the other Caribbean islands copying our cooking but the Latin and African countries as well. Liberia copying Jamaican cooking a lot. Also South Korea and Philippines copying.
@Stewy 1156 Yea, they can say that, but Jamaicans don't understand what's unique to us and keep including others in our recipes when they try to claim it. Firstly, they'll say our ancestor share the same food. What I always asked is, why is it the same recipe, though, when we are different countries and our ancestors came from all walks of Africa, etc.
Let me tell u/you this BUSS UP/ BUSS UP SHUT/ = BURST UP SHIRT IS A JAMAICAN WORD, NOT GUYANA WORD. Guyana used it for their Roti, & added Curry goat meat to it. They stole the word from JAMAICA BOUT BUSS UP SHUT/SHIRT. NO ISLAND IN THE CARRIBEAN ADDED CURRY GOAT MEAT TO THEIR ROTI/ ROTIS.
Trut
Bathe suit
Shark taste like catfish
the presenter is a trini...he don't know much about Jamaica.
Trinidad Always Wanna Compare There Self With Jamaica Even Food And Its Completely Different .... Maybe Not All But It Does, I Love You Guys But The Person Who Post This Video Needs To Do More Research
You have to listen to it again to understand the reason he compared them.
Trinidad incorporated almost every Jamaican dishes and recipes, the exact or close recipes in their culture. They are also influenced by every Caribbean nationals culture who live there; the Haitians, Jamaicans, Guyanese, etc.
we doh compare ourselves with alyuh tho? 💀 jamaicans does literally come onto videos about trinidad to brag about Jamaica all over social media yet we doing the comparing? 😂 insecure ass
@@trini2DBone134 Lol Who The F××k Is Trinidad .... Without JA Nobody Would Know You🤣🤣
We never compare with jamaicans we never migrate to Jamaica yet 30k jamaicans live in Trinidad. Trinidad doesn't need Jamaica but jamaica need us more than we do them.

The Narrator is Bias towards Trinidad and you can tell. Let's keep it TEAL. Jamaica food is more popular and the Island itself is more popular than Trinidad. The way the dude use descriptive words to Narrate, Hell say The Amazing bake and Shark in Trinidad and Jamaica has Fish at Hellshire beach. He clearly is TRINIDADIAN or have history there. He doesn't need to be doing a comparison video because Jamaica is the best. Period
So, aren't you bias?
What are you, 12?
Smh.
What are you...12?
Ugh.
