As a Lucian there was a variety of food that is NATURALLY vegan she could have picked. Ackee and Saltfish is JAMAICIAN national dish. Salfish and Provisions is ST.LUCIAN national dish. The goat was also made "Jamaican" style, compared to St.Lucian style of burning the curry.(There are different styles of cooking, but Lucian cooking is always "cooking spices" then add the meat/veg, that is how it was taught historically) Accuracy is needed because this is how every island gets lumped into "Jamaican" and each islands' uniqueness is not represented equally.
In Jamaica they burn/cook the curry first too that's what i was taught i would like to learn other islands food too (i have a few recipes on my channel)
Exactly my same thoughts..... as St lucian good is heavy in ground provisions...tbh I think it has the worst food of all the islands to be fair....I'm.st Lucian and many people who have come to the island have said the same so I'm not being bias....I truly believe they really haven't got a national dish .....ackee n salt fish is Jamaica national dish ...but hey ...some cocoa tea for breakfast ....a bullion or braff for lunch and dinner well bakes and fish I guess like I said I struggle for good food from the island.....I moved there for 2 years and had to come back home to the UK because I struggled man....and the heavily imported store food wasn't good.....I lived off plantain...
same with polish food - looks more like fusion polish cuisine. Bigos has much more ingredients, it is cooked for a couple of hours and there is no tofu inside (even in veggie variant)
Correction - St. Lucia's National dish is greenfig (green bananas) & saltfish, not ackee and saltfish. Perhaps what you should have said Mariah is that you are sharing dishes that you ate as a child in St. Lucia, then it would have been ok. But you are leading people who are not familiar with St. Lucian culture to believe that these are our national dishes, and they are not. I do appreciate the video though because I learned about Polish dishes.
The Polish dishes aren't traditional either... Rye bread should be baked using sourdough and served with more traditional toppings, for vegans it can be vegan quark (we don't have cream cheese in Poland at all, quark is the traditional Polish equivalent - I really recommend quark cheesecake, it's said to be one of the best cakes in the world), vegan yogurt, any sort of Polish fruit jam like apple, strawberry, prune with cinnamon, quince, etc. - it really just depends on the region of Poland. Pierogi dough should be just flour and boiling water. The filling isn't what I'm accustomed to, it should be onion, quark, potatoes, salt, pepper, although again - there are thousands of recipes for pierogi and they're all valid and cherished. Pierogi have to be BOILED before they're fried - otherwise the dough is guaranteed to be raw. You boil them on medium until they resurface (not longer, they'll break apart, also don't put too many in the pot, only like 10-15), they can be transferred to frying pan as soon as you remove the excess moisture from the surface just for safety so the oil doesn't start dancing and doesn't burn your skin. You dip the pierogi in sour cream or yogurt. This bigos is an abomination. The base should be pickled sour cabbage and a lot of different types of pork like raw bacon cut in cubes, pork shoulder etc. They should've chosen a different dish altogether, more suitable for a vegan and with ingredients easier to buy locally, because this isn't bigos at all.
The Saint Lucian national dish is not ackee and saltfish or ‘saltfish of ackee’ as stated in the video (4:17). It is not just saltfish. It is green fig and saltfish (green banana and saltfish). A little research goes a long way.
And this bigos isn't bigos at all. Completely different dish. They should've chosen a meal more suitable for a vegan (bigos should have loads of meat) and with ingredients available locally (I guess pickled sour cabbage wasn't an option but it is the basis for bigos).
We definitely need a redo of this with more traditional St Lucian dishes such as dumpling and cocoa tea, bake and salt fish, boullion etc. This definitely leaned more toward the Jamaican side of things! Great job ladies but the representation of St Lucia was poor.
I just came back from St Lucia a few weeks ago and I was excited to see this. But I was also expecting to see cocoa tea and salt fish w/ bake. Also, I live in MI where there is a very heavy Polish population. And I never thought about the Polish food not being eaten everywhere.
@@mariahjean8427 ironically while I was there I didn’t try cornmeal porridge because it sounds like grits with sugar which is an abomination in my family. 😄
I love the meals in this, but for the St Lucia end, it’s more Jamaican based. And we do have cabbage stew as a meal and we add whatever protein you want or not. But still love my Caribbean food and peeps!
As a Jamaican, I am disappointed Because I was looking forward to learning more about st. Lucian food. But when mi see goodie seh ackee and saltfish is the national dish for st. Lucia, I was floored!!! Please don't hate on us it's not our fault.
We don’t even eat ackee and salt fish here .. Cocoa tea and dumplings would have been a better choice along with greenfig and salt fish or pigtail/lamb bouillon
Great concept! I think this video highlights how "Jamaicanised" Caribbean food is in the UK. This would have been a great opportunity to show the cuisine of a smaller island which isn't often shown. I love the idea of the show though, its great that we can share different cultures and appreciate them. Next countries should be Antigua 🇦🇬 and Malaysia 🇲🇾 😁
Did she just say that st. Lucia's national dish is ackee and saltfish?? Buzzfeed please do better. This person may have St. Lucian relatives, but with a statement like that, it is obvious that she barely spent any time in st. Lucia.
Props to girls for cooking skills - well done! Tried pierogis a while back and they are YUM. Happy to see Caribbean repped but agree dishes should've repped St Lucia more. Caribbean has so much variety. If you do Barbados and serve jerked chicken or curry goat (of Jamaica), I will SCREAM!
It definitely is, St Lucia have more unique dishes that stands out as theirs. Even though we in the Caribbean share curry as a meal we all have our own way to prepare it as well…. Maybe that’s how they prepare it in their household.
The energy & personality these 2 have is wonderful! Thank you both for being yourselves in this video😊hoping to see much more of you both in other videos!
The national dish of St Lucia is green fig (banana) and saltfish. I'm low key questioning the authenticity of her nationality rn. Ackee and saltfish is Jamaica.
@@kerimapresident6866 if you watch the video, she says “only cook Caribbean food for 24 hours”. It didn’t have to be an entire national dish, or a dish specific to St Lucians. Perhaps be a little bit more attentive before you jump on someone?
@@vickibart3491 I did not jump on anyone. Just stating that the national dish in St.Lucia is not just saltfish.

we need a do over 😑 nothing here truly represents us (lucians) I fell out when I saw the line up.. no fig/provisons n saltfish...no fig salad ..no bouillon.. no bakes .. no Dahl 😪 not even a piton beer to save the day 🥲... good video regardless but I wish we was more authentically represented in the food line up
hahahaha these comments make me giggle as I didn’t make the cornmeal porridge for one and it’s cinnamon on top LOL 🤣 people aren’t true cinnamon lovers out here 🥲
We Poles love root spices. The entire fall and winter we add them to everything, like the staropolski piernik (old Polish gingerbread) that matures for at least 6 weeks before Christmas.
I am Jamaican 🇯🇲 and I don't mean to correct or should I say disagree with a fellow island girl but Jamaica's national dish is ackee and salt fish, as I understand it from my St. Lucian sister-in-law, St Lucia's national dish is green figs and salt fish (or also known as green banana and salt fish)🇱🇨
St Lucian don't eat Ackee and Salt fish. Not really a popular dish last I check. Maybe green fig and salt fish or bakes and salt fish. Great concept but maybe more traditional Lucian cuisines.
Nice food but Please REDO this. This is NOT a true representation of St Lucia. This is jamaican food! There were so many options that could have been chosen.
I am sorry, is this St. Lucian or Jamaican??? Never had ackee in St. Lucia, btw, my family owned restaurants in St. Luciia. Our national dish is Salt Fish and Green Figs...we ate a lot of steamed fish for dinner. As a St. Lucian, this is a misrepresentation! I love this series but this episode does not make sense.
@@mariahjean8427 You're from St.lucia? Even worse! And you had the audacity to misrepresent my island so criminally? Take out the St. Lucian label in your vid & insert a Jamaican one.
Did she just put a heaped teaspoon of NUTMEG??!?!?!?!?! and I scroll through the comments and no one has addressed it?!?!?! wth!! 1:39 And she said, "More is fine with me"?! Nutmeg is a psychedelic in bigger quantities, and leave that the taste is overwhelming. No recipe for a serving of one, calls for more than 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg.
This was a very good selection of food. Ackee and saltfish is also Jamaica's national dish. I would eat all of them but would have to leave out the mushrooms on the one dish. Well done ladies.
im lucian 🇱🇨 and the breakfast was not bad but the lunch threw me off. could've had her try saltfish with green fig for lunch. i have never had ackee before as that is more jamaican. we actually call that the jamaican ackee because we call guinep (spanish lime) ackee as well. then for dinner have her make a pumpkin bouyon with cow feet. but i liked the polish representation because i loveee pierogies.
Did she say Saint Lucia's National Dish? It is actually Green figs and Saltfish (green bananas) this isn't our National Dish. I wish Saint Lucia would have been represented in a better way.. sad. It was nice to learn about Polish dishes tho.
I know Kittitians eat ackee and saltfish but our national dish is green fig and saltfish with dumplings, I think ackee is more a Jamaican thing not a Lucian thing, I may be wrong sorry if I am
I enjoyed this video. The food looks really good that I would like to try and make it. May you guys send the recipes of the dish you used in the video? Thanks. ☺️
What is St Lucia's national dish? Hunni how long ago did u sell ur flag? No, no, no....the meals leaned more to another country's cuisine but not Lucian. Btw, I created a dessert take on our national dish green fig & saltfish ice cream. Those who will say saltfish, note that a praline is made first and it's to die for🤤
Great content. A nice way to create cultural awareness and bring people closer. These ladies have to be really good cooks because they did a great job with the recipes. I'm very impressed.
awah masiay, I comment the St Lucian flag because I love my country, nonetheless. But people, when will we get actual people and not "Caribbeans" because a breakfast could have been bakes, saltfish/cheese/cornbeef, cucumber and cocoa tea (fine if that's not available). lunch would be green fig, a lil dasheen if you have and saltfish or a backs 😅😅 and finally, for dinner, we eat stew food more than curry goat. Curry goat is almost $40/kg. It's a delicacy rather than something in everyone eats. 🥲
The thing about Caribbean cooking is, what most would eat/make for dinner, we have for lunch, so we'd usually eat goat for lunch. And the bake and saltfish is mostly eaten at breakfast or dinner. For lunch we'd throw in some provisions or rice with the saltfish. But I eat anything anytime of the day, so to each their own. 😃
Ackee & Saltfish is Jamaica's national dish not St. Lucia, but that said the correct way to eat it with the bake is to slice it open and stuff it like a sandwich, or sometimes people will break off smaller pieces of the bake and use that to pinch bits of the ackee & saltfish at a time. I'm Guyanese so I prefer the eat just bakes and saltfish, but it's a disservice to anyone trying Caribbean food for the first time to not have it with the ackee.
For everyone outraged the St Lucian food wasn't authentic: Polish wasn't authentic either, so chill. It's an entertainment show, not a docuseries on cuisines of the world.

Hello!! I LOVE ❤ potato & onion pierogi with sour cream, stuffed cabbage and Pączki (doughnuts made with lard, filled with jam, sprinkled with confection sugar). Yummy! 🙂😊
I had a polish friend once we ordered carribean and got him jerk chicken, He ate it all didnt talk once then after said this is why carribean people are so happy😂
There was this chickpea handpie type thing I had and it is one of the best things I have ever eaten! I believe it was from Trinidad! Most island foods are fantastic! But the Iranian girl (I'm sorry I couldn't remember her name) really has me wanting to try Iranian food! Sounds amazing!
Not true - the dish ackee & saltfish is Jamaican (although ackee is grown in St Lucia it is not the national dish or popular). Saltfish and green fig (green banana) is the national dish though. Lucians and many other islands also make these dishes, just that some are not as popular as in Jamaica or made slightly differently. Everything caribbean isn't always Jamaican.
Cute idea, but the Caribbean food is more Jamaican than St. Lucian. Ackee is a Jamaican food. I have never seen a recipe from the Eastern Caribbean which involved ackee. This will give international viewers an inaccurate view of St. Lucia.
As a Lucian there was a variety of food that is NATURALLY vegan she could have picked. Ackee and Saltfish is JAMAICIAN national dish. Salfish and Provisions is ST.LUCIAN national dish. The goat was also made "Jamaican" style, compared to St.Lucian style of burning the curry.(There are different styles of cooking, but Lucian cooking is always "cooking spices" then add the meat/veg, that is how it was taught historically) Accuracy is needed because this is how every island gets lumped into "Jamaican" and each islands' uniqueness is not represented equally.

This is a great way to learn of other cultures. Salute to whomever came up with this idea.
Only of the food is actually from the country they it's from
Pierogis are boiled before being fried so that the dough is properly cooked through:) Just a little tip for those of you who want to try it!
That's exactly what I thought! You need to boil it first ;)
And this bigos isn't bigos at all. Completely different dish. They should've chosen a meal more suitable for a vegan (bigos should have loads of meat) and with ingredients available locally (I guess pickled sour cabbage wasn't an option but it is the basis for bigos).

and finally, for dinner, we eat stew food more than curry goat. Curry goat is almost $40/kg. It's a delicacy rather than something in everyone eats. 🥲
Ackee and saltfish - breakfast, lunch and dinner 😋😋😋
The thing about Caribbean cooking is, what most would eat/make for dinner, we have for lunch, so we'd usually eat goat for lunch. And the bake and saltfish is mostly eaten at breakfast or dinner. For lunch we'd throw in some provisions or rice with the saltfish. But I eat anything anytime of the day, so to each their own. 😃
I wanted all of it!!!
Wow this was what I grew up eating with my Jamaican family
Ackee & Saltfish is Jamaica's national dish not St. Lucia, but that said the correct way to eat it with the bake is to slice it open and stuff it like a sandwich, or sometimes people will break off smaller pieces of the bake and use that to pinch bits of the ackee & saltfish at a time. I'm Guyanese so I prefer the eat just bakes and saltfish, but it's a disservice to anyone trying Caribbean food for the first time to not have it with the ackee.
For everyone outraged the St Lucian food wasn't authentic: Polish wasn't authentic either, so chill. It's an entertainment show, not a docuseries on cuisines of the world.
Rye bread should be baked using sourdough and served with more traditional toppings, for vegans it can be vegan quark (we don't have cream cheese in Poland at all, quark is the traditional Polish equivalent - I really recommend quark cheesecake, it's said to be one of the best cakes in the world), vegan yogurt, any sort of Polish fruit jam like apple, strawberry, prune with cinnamon, quince, etc. - it really just depends on the region of Poland.
Pierogi dough should be just flour and boiling water. The filling isn't what I'm accustomed to, it should be onion, quark, potatoes, salt, pepper, although again - there are thousands of recipes for pierogi and they're all valid and cherished. Pierogi have to be BOILED before they're fried - otherwise the dough is guaranteed to be raw. You boil them on medium until they resurface (not longer, they'll break apart, also don't put too many in the pot, only like 10-15), they can be transferred to frying pan as soon as you remove the excess moisture from the surface just for safety so the oil doesn't start dancing and doesn't burn your skin. You dip the pierogi in sour cream or yogurt.
This bigos is an abomination. The base should be pickled sour cabbage and a lot of different types of pork like raw bacon cut in cubes, pork shoulder etc. They should've chosen a different dish altogether, more suitable for a vegan and with ingredients easier to buy locally, because this isn't bigos at all.
Big up the ladies, island lady myself. 🇯🇲 to the world...
My mouth was watering
I’m curious what Mariah substitutes for salt fish and goat as she is vegan??
@@mariahjean8427 thank you for responding! How do u season the jackfruit ?
@@mariahcalvert1612 Check out coconut curry jackfruit, Jamaicans seems to have a lot of Vegan dishes
Hello!! I LOVE ❤ potato & onion pierogi with sour cream, stuffed cabbage and Pączki (doughnuts made with lard, filled with jam, sprinkled with confection sugar). Yummy! 🙂😊
The doughnuts are soooo goood yummy! If we did desserts that would be on there 🥰
@@mariahjean8427 next time next time 😘
Idk if this really represented St.Lucia I'm Jamaican and I would redo this video
Poor Representation of St. Lucia... I couldn't wait to see my country on here but this ain't it.
4:18 rah dem really did say it was the national dish?
How is she vegan when she gave her meat and fish dishes and she also had some raw chicken in the back w seasoning on it 😂
Wow she did good with the cornmeal can't wait to see the rest
Saint Lucia's National dish is salt fish and green fig (greenbananas) so selfish and Ackee is a Jamaican dish
That cornmeal porridge looks so nice and comforting. I just need to get a wooden spoon first 😅
Great content 👍☺️👍
Maybe just say Caribbean and not St Lucian because no we don’t call these St Lucian meal.
Crucial part of bigos is using sauerkraut, not a raw cabbage
please share recipes , wanna try them out 😋
My friend is st Lucian n when she made a roti she definitely cooked the spices first
I had a polish friend once we ordered carribean and got him jerk chicken, He ate it all didnt talk once then after said this is why carribean people are so happy😂
There was this chickpea handpie type thing I had and it is one of the best things I have ever eaten! I believe it was from Trinidad! Most island foods are fantastic! But the Iranian girl (I'm sorry I couldn't remember her name) really has me wanting to try Iranian food! Sounds amazing!
Doubles 😊 it’s AMAZING
Can we have the recipe for the Rye Bread, please?
Food looked delicious, are the recipes included, also the measurements?
Wth. Saint Lucia needs an authentic representative! This lady is clearly "a Caribbean"
Mariah=Barbie Ferreira,but make it
She wasnt told to boil pierogi before frying. Not fair !!!!
These are so enjoyable to watch. Some of the others that are more like competitions leave me feeling a little annoyed.
Used to have cornmeal porridge growing up....way better than Ready Brek 🤣
I didn’t know that ackee and saltfish as St. Lucia’s national dish.
I wanna see some roasted breadfruit and fried jackfish. It's a St. Vincent dish tho but still carribean.
All those are Jamaican dishes...I guess she had a Jamaican grandma?
Are u dumb
I guess so lol
These are Caribbean dishes
@@roselineblack6859 specifically Jamaican
Not true - the dish ackee & saltfish is Jamaican (although ackee is grown in St Lucia it is not the national dish or popular). Saltfish and green fig (green banana) is the national dish though. Lucians and many other islands also make these dishes, just that some are not as popular as in Jamaica or made slightly differently. Everything caribbean isn't always Jamaican.
Cute idea, but the Caribbean food is more Jamaican than St. Lucian. Ackee is a Jamaican food. I have never seen a recipe from the Eastern Caribbean which involved ackee. This will give international viewers an inaccurate view of St. Lucia.
