Callaloo with crab on Sunday. My grandmother's recipe is the best.
Mauby is an acquired taste for sure lol, bitter but I love it
Good list but corn soup ranked so low? Late night after fete, corn soup is king
Buss up shut with curry goat, my favourite thing in the world
Doubles at number one, no debate. Breakfast of champions in Trinidad.
Aloo pie with tamarind and pepper sauce, simple and perfect
Pholourie with mango chutney is the ultimate snack
Pastelles and sorrel at Christmas, this list made me homesick
Pelau on a Sunday with macaroni pie and coleslaw, classic lime food
Bake and shark at Maracas beach after a swim, nothing better
Where is curry duck? River lime without curry duck is not a lime!
