Two ‘Saints’ who are celebrating the culture of St Helena Island through its food. We're cooking food, sharing recipes, and generally posting about the most delicious food in the world!
We love Saint food! The smell of a pot of Plo, or the sweet taste of a coconut finger. Food has the power to transport you to happy memories. Saints learn from each other how to cook the delicious dishes of their island community, ‘cause on St Helena we believe in feeding you until you are fill - then just a little bit more. But no recipe is final, there is no absolute version. Everyone has their own specific way of cooking their favourites. Whether it is adding a secret ingredient that your Mum used, or twigging the ingredients as they became available. St Helena has special and unique food.
❤ bought back memories of walking up head o wain from out horse pasture to catch the school bus. And always pop into the shop (matches) to pickup a loaf of bread and some sweets on the way home.
My mum was from St helena. Her name was Hazel Benjamin from ladder Hill. My uncle Ronald is the wiz with St helena food cooking so it's time I start making the saints food myself instead of pestering my poor uncle all the time. Good show guys x
My Mum was a Saint and came to the UK in 1945. She always told us lots about the island and its features and what fun it was climbing the ladder (while feeding us kids tomato paste and boiled pudding :) Love your website too. Great soundtrack on this as well xx
This was a holiday special that my sister in law's Mom would cook for the family. They are from Puerto Rico, I miss that flavor. hmmm Thanks for the memory's.
And all the years have passed and I still can't make it as good as my mom or Granny. I am going to try the way you did it. I think it's where the peas come from?
We have both in our big New York City Walmart's in the fresh food area. Both are sold all the time and if you don't get there early. there all gone by end of day. And as a kid. the local mom and pop store all way's had both types. What a treat to eat.
Wow Would you believe that when I was a small very young kid in New York City, back in 1960's. There was this Hmmmmm fantastic thing that I can just taste right now in my mouth via my brain memory's of that time. It's just that same thing you put up in this video. No way. They came in a package of two. for 10cents USD. what a treat hmmm soft sweet filling and sticky if you took your time eating them. what a treat.
Hi my grandfather is from ST Helena an it is great to learn about this irlend going back 200 years. He came to SA on a ship. Wow an Jacob ladder ia awesome
I would love to visit Saint Helena one day. I was looking into visiting the island, but it looks like visas aren’t easy to obtain for foreigners. Any suggestions? Thank you. Greetings from Canada.
I would love to see St.Helena. I grew up on a remote island (not as remote as St.Helena)as well,it’s called Aruba 🇦🇼,in the Dutch Caribbean,near the coast of Venezuela,but with way more inhabitants (100.000).When I left the island to study in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 30 years ago,it had 60.000 inhabitants. St,Helena looks completely different and so beautiful,although the expensive supermarkets sounds very familiar,especially the fresh products. Love your video,🙏🙏❤️
Dankie. Your video was financial educational. Some yrs ago I found out that a family member was born on St. Helena Island, some Thomas Edmond Fowler, QC.(+/- 1850 - 1910?). To find info. on family-stuff is very difficult in South Africa. Fun Fact. The distance from Walvisbaai/ bay to St. Helena is about 2 400km. From Komatiepoort (South Africa's side to Mozambique) to La Reunion (Frensch island) is 2 800km.
Sorry I pressed sent and did not finish my question. Please let us know how the weather is on the island? When is your winter and summer seasons? Is there wifi on the island?
