I love how David was introduced to country style old fashion cooking which was prepared on man made materials which my ancestors left behind. Our culture is so rich! Eating on the leaf with the chicken in the background is everyday happy life in the south of the Island. Great job Jason and David!
@sacha combs. Well said. You mentioned everything I was thinking about. I grew up with old fashions and cooking with man-made materials-best-tasting food when cooked on the fireside. The foods were natural, and I knew they were delicious. I love the sounds of the chicken in the background. I love this video as well.
The armenian and ukrainian food videos are my favourite, but trinidad hosts have made the videos in trinidad enjoyable to watch. Somebody said they speak to much, but I find it more engaging to watch videos with extroverted people who shines through with their personalities.
@@Ajm833 love my doubles and ah well cold red solo or a apple j in the morning and busup shot with anything are good calaloo lunch time some of my happiest time was in Trinidad no stress
Man you've got a host of a lifetime 🤷♂️ Jason is actually in love with the food be it any. He describes em like his children. The carribbean people are the most wholesome people anywhere around the world and that proves it right there.
Grannies like these are treasures; you don't find much of them in trinidad anymore. She really put down a pot here, the og way. She even got saharee leaf, omfg! Best episode.
All the videos i saw of whole of West-Indies food show one peculiar thing i observed is their food culture is much inspired by our ancient and still prevelant Indian system,culture,cookware,method,etc.Its like in my village home how things r done and i live in North-east India.Feels like brothers from another mother😊🙏.Lots of love frm India for our West Indian brothers❤️❤️
Yes, many of the Indians that went to Trinidad and Guyana were from the state of Bihar, North Indian regions. Also we have a lot of influence from South India as well. Madras people, Sri Lankan etc etc.
@@rakeshdeka3497 it is known as ‘bhandhania’, shadon beni or culantro, recao, sawtooth corianda. I believe it is also grown in Vietnam, Thailand, Laos etc.
@@TriniMonstera it grows in many part of Asia but is called 'bon-dhoniya' in assamese,nagamese,bodo,etc of North-east Indian tribes.And bdw whole of South-Eastern Asia including North-east Indian food culture are similar.We eat 'khar',fermented soyabean paste,fermented nd fresh bamboo shoot,hundreds os chutnies,pork,etc.
@@rakeshdeka3497 many of the ways are ancient because you have to remember that they came to Trinidad 177 years ago to be exact, so those traditions were passed down…and yes a lot of the food taste alike.
Love the video Jason reminds me of a infomercial salesman lol 😂 great energy he is passionate about the food like you David I'm loving this series already
Am I the only one who loves how Chef Jason describes food? His explanations just take things to another level. I also love his knowledge of food and ingredients! Great work
"Hats off to you Jason", I loved this video❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ,this is the trini indian food I wanted to see. Different dishes to eat. Proper trini Indian food from the village. Aunty Doll is a boss.
This is the ancient way of Indian cooking my grandparents & even my mother use to cook in such a way for a very very long time....the culture is totally derived from India
Nimesh, Indian descendants populate Trinidad( 43% of Trinidad’s population are Indian descendants). Mostly from Bihar, and eastern UP. Theek hai? Have you heard of Indians leaving India to Fiji, South Africa and the Caribbean as indentured laborers during British colonization. Kya aap Hindi bolte hai?
Thankyou David and Jason for showing this lady's style of cooking the old fashion ways! It brought back so much memories for me I used to cook like this with my grandmother! We have to come back to Trinidad soon for a visit! We will be heading down to the Chulha Queen first! Ps. David you have to come to my house I am in Florida as well!😊
As a Trini I just feel like it's only showcasing one race what about the other races in Trinidad all I've seen David eating is Indian food 🙄 it's the other cultures don't exist
I've tried both Indian and Srilankan food before, and the complexity and diversity of their dishes were amazing. Trinidadian cuisine looks to be in a league of Its own. David, I'm so jealous just watching you devour all of those dishes made me want to book a trip to Trinidad. If I do at some point which would be the best off-peak time to travel? P.S. Aunty Doll is a gem of a person her knowledge of the ingredients and different cooking procedures are admirable.
Off peak, try to avoid December - March. Afterwards you can definitely get good deals but Christmas & Carnival will be expensive to fly into Trinidad and Tobago.
It is in a leagues of its own; you nailed it! Splurge a little and find a way to get access to Trini food; otherwise you are not living life to the fullest.
Thank you so much…. What happen to creole food like omg. They carry you maracas and not even visit Richards which to me is the best. I guess Trinidad is only made up of East Indian cuisine… no callaloo, smoke herring, oil down, Royal castle only DOUBLES! DOUBLES! DOUBLES! I next hope next time you visit you’ll be able to get a more diversed cultural tour guide. Nun the less thanks for repping Trinidad.
@@gabriellaboynes7042 to be fair , there’s more of an Asian influence in Trinidad than in Tobago, (Tobago is more creole ) which is why they might have highlighted the Chinese and Indian cuisines more when they were in Trinidad
What an experience David trying all the different dishes .everything looks scrumptious.As always hats off to jason for the beautiful description ofour food and culture..
Is there any episodes without curry ? Orrrr just one where jason shuts up a little ? Every episode where i am hoping jason takes him to eat some pie and callaloo its curry again.
Dear David come back to TnT and try the creole side of things ..... For a first time experience you would have enjoyed it but low key it seemed one tracked.....There is much more to experience
Wow!! Aunty Doll and her fam threw down a FEAST. A homecooked buffet! Youre a lucky man, David. Definitely will try this out if I ever get to go to Trinidad. I also love your guests passion. You can tell he has a knowledge and love for good food, too.
That Jason guy so Disrespectful and always trying to be the star of the show, look at the small portions he giving the man like he is a bird I doubt the man even ask you to serve him. And the real queen of chulha is Shanty to my knowledge but hearing this woman voice sounds like they are related. More episodes I watch the more I cringe because of the Jason guy always in the man neck trying to talk in the mic geezz.
Birds actually eat several times their own body weight to be able to have sufficient energy to fly. So to say Jason's giving the man "like a bird" actually means he is feeding him a tonload of food ... Google it if you don't believe me ..
David once again you have made me so hungry. I guess I better eat a bowl of cereal or something. Wish I had some of that delicious food you guys are having.
Although these episodes are gr8 I'm yet to see a representation of our creole food I don't know if it's cause of the host but let's not forget trinidad and tobago is not only about curry, roti and chinese we are diverse...wen is he gonna come to tobago atleast to try the crab and dumpling oil down the red mangoe the coco tea the conch and dumpling etc...let's get some creole episodes goin plz
Wow! Awesome David you just experienced the ultimate west Indian style cooking ( in the old day's style kitchen, you don't see it like that anymore, everybody is modernized these days) happy you got to experience eating on a Suhari leaf as well 🤗🤗🤗❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Trinidad is like a state from India but in west. Chulha is what used in my Village in Bihar for cooking. Nowaday it is replaced by gas and stove. But nice. Indians will fit right in if migrated to Trinidad.
Indians mostly from Bihar were brought to Trinidad 177 years ago, as indentured laborers by the British during colonization.They were also from other places in India in smaller numbers. Not only to Trinidad but other Caribbean countries, Fiji, South Africa, Mauritius.. You can do more research on your own so that you learn, who knows maybe some of your family maybe living in the Caribbean. There are many recent immigrants from India living in Trinidad, they do fit right in. You are correct.
Indo-Trini cuisine has influences of Bengal cuisine. Spices like the 5 phoran used in Trini Curry powder, dalpuri, baigan chokha from UP/Bihar. In Bengal you have pitai roti which is Bussupshut in Trinidad. These are just some of the similarities I notice.
Yes, Bihar and UP is their ancestral homeland and the same blood runs in their veins; but they are uniquely Trini by all means from their Caribbean lifestyles. they kept the best of their traditions and left behind the worst and useless ones and elevated themselves very high because of that.
@@Triniforchrist And that's my point. It makes it look like Trinidad doesn't have much creole influence. It is wrong for them to make it look like Tobago is the only island that has.
I just glad he reach in d south bush and eat prayers food on a suhari leaf!! No other blogger has ever done it!! yuh know them in north does be like port of spain alone is trinidad!!! But for prayers food only buss up shot will do!!! And i hope he stop by gewandass doubles on d creek!!!
You have made Deep South but not deep enough There is a lot wild meat spots that you haven’t meet as yet You need to go in the Deep South where you can get the true flavours of the forest and natural resources of the island
Hey David you need to come back and experience more of Trindad and go to places like Veni mange' , the breakfast shed , Paramin or have someone carry you Lo Pinot to have a pelau and how we spend time out from home. Glad you love it here and our way of making Indain food is the best and satisfying but we have lots more to offer than just chicken peas and all that . Glad you at least got some coconut bake this rounds
@@jouezmoi he carried David to eat creole food in Tobago which is insulting to us. Not saying Tobago food is not good but we have it here and just imagine a local "food expert/chef " will not ensure David ate creole food before Syrian or Spanish even ate Chinese before but I am happy he still got to taste it all. I was happy when he for to eat pelau but then they had to mix it with curry . He did not eat it at all as normal but he still loved the rice . Can you imagine if he had a proper meat pelau that did not need any outside meat and a Cole slaw and avocado . I don't even like avocado but it hits different for a pelau
16:58 the ham , during Christmas season, also Christmas in July with parag music blasting family coming over reason I love Christmas, and the turkey love love .
David loved the macaroni pie, I could tell by the way he ate all. He needs to try macaroni pie with callaloo n crab, red beans, stew chicken and green salad and some mauby. He needs to try some sorrel drink too and soursop, barbadine..David boy if you ever in Atl link up! 🫣
I just looked it up I see that there is an Indian version but what trinis cook looks more similar to East African (Kenyan) pilau Don't know who exactly brought it to Trinidad, I know it is known as African/Creole food I just thought I might add this
This episode was hot like a chulha. You got the ultimate Trinidad food experience. Not much people do it like Tanty anymore and David ended up getting Tanty digits at the end I see 🤣.
I was going to wait until the last video of this Trinbago series to actually comment but after yesterday's drama with this b*got chef I can't take it anymore. Sadly this is the worse representation our country has received when it comes to food. We love and boast of our multicultural cuisine and to have it shown so one sided and repetitive is so disheartening. It's not your fault David but your local host has been exposed as the true person he is. At first I didn't want to jump to conclusions but we all started putting 2 & 2 together and those receipts proved it. I hope you can come back and get a more authentic experience with the actual love we have here. Hopefully you listen to what the actual trinbagonians are saying, the one who actually lives here and not those who acting fake proud and they never been here for the past 10 years. We have been shown on major networks such as CNN, Food network and Discovery with each of of heritages being displayed. Idk but Jason set you up for back lash but once he got his agenda out he doesn't care. But then again come and actually mingle with the locals hopefully your experience will be 100x better. One love!
@@AstralPrincess you can get the full details on Facebook. He made a comment on a post where a local Muslim content creator shared a video of a Chinese Restaurant who caters to the Muslim community by not selling pork and this clown chef gonna say "no pork? Pork is life" persons were telling him that's was not called for and very disrespectful towards their religious belief and he started doubling down and calling ppl H*tler and other rude things (just like he did in the comment section of David's previous videos). Apparently he's been like this all the time and the reciepts started rolling out. He disrespected our fellow West Indian brothers from Grenada by calling their National dish 'Oil Down' as "dog food" just because persons told him he cooked it incorrectly. Apparently he made racist remarks towards afro ppl in the past as well. I didn't even know he was so disliked and rude. But to see the videos and screenshots just go search his name on Facebook and check the post. They will show up.
@@trinbagolover3711 wow. Really? I didnt know all of this. But I stopped watching this series a couple videos back because it got boring seeing the same things over and over and I cant stand that chef.
I loved this video, soo many came here and air-limited or misleading content. Keep it up David...But wow you ate a lot of food in such a short space of time..Good job by Chef Jason for explaining what they were doing.
Im mixed, my father is indian and my mom is African and I love both kind of dishes.So where's my creole dishes??????. So like David needs a different type to carry him to those places 🙄👍👍👍
Lol David!!..I can't help myself but laugh my a$$ off. Just hearing her talk in our local colloquial language with words and pronunciation I just wonder how much you understood. (there were moments you were quiet) lolol. but so happy you did this tour. Maybe you become an official honorary trini.
Wow...... What an awesome experience for you seeing food cooked this way, earthen oven and fireside cooking tastes better. Also Candace and Jason are great company. Thankyou David for this video and stay safe.
Trini, watching from Miami, nice to see how David showcase our beautiful. Island, and our exotic dishes and fruits . David and Jason, what a combination. Can anyone do it better?
Even in west bengal we have a thing called fuluri which is exactly the same thing as pholouri, but we just pronounce it as fuluri. I am just amazed how similar trini and indian culture is. Even here, women in the rural areas make food on chulha and we actually call it chulha!
Trinidad has a majority of Indian ethnic group, who are migrants of the colonial era. I am from Kerala, and we have the same items too - Chula (ചൂള), tawa (തവ), and most cooking styles are very much similar.
Our cooking, religious customs and practices, plants,clothing are similar because our ancestors came from different parts of india and generations continued the Indian traditions way of life.🇹🇹
Coconut bake , my grandpa till this day still make some but he loves his own a lil brown and crispy. As it cone our the oven goes very good with butter, cheese, or saltfish buljol 🤤😋, Heard about this place many times , never been there .
Good job showcasing our culinary culture. This is an aspect of our life that tourists do not get to see. Your hosts put together a great itinerary for you.
Watching these videos one gets the impression that we only eat curry in Trinidad!!. I'm born and grown in Trinidad and probably only eat curry twice a month and I hate doubles.
You really lucked out David. You got a truly traditional and authentic meal, everything done old school style. Glad you enjoyed some of our traditional dishes.
oh my god you guys have chalta as well!! I am just freaking out here right now!! This is like my favourite achaar ever!! I can have this all day every day!! I am falling in love with similarities we have with Bengal and Trini!! my mind is just blown!!!
i dont understand how you all serve the guest all the boney pieces of meat and you all take a plate full for best pieces for yourself. I have been noticing this when you all dish out for David.. You gave the man a bake wing and duck bones. geez, how will he taste Trini curried duck properlyI mean, come on, Jason
In early 90's, my Dear Mom also used to make roti on Chula and letting it to swell and become crispy by placing it near those hot and burning coal. Tastiest roti! Good memories of the past. I know it's shot in Trinidad but may I say, Love you India from France? P.S: Aunty Doll is super talented!
Judy and Lexi - I totally agree with your comments , on point with Jason taking away the props and his girlfriend. Let the country be recognized ! Not you and the girlfriend!
She really know how to cook up a feast. I wish she was my grandma. Definitely a throwback/nostalgia with this video. Glad you guys enjoyed yourself. Can't wait to see trying more Trini foods.
Wow, wonderful video Looks like a wonderful experience For those who don't know, Trinis call tumeric "safron" So if a Trini tells you to bring them sone safron, they most likely mean tumeric. Pommcythere (can't remember if that is right spelling) is called golden apple or june plune in other Caribbean islands.
So I just finished watching the video and I love this one. Jason Peru is getting on my nerves. Instead of him explaining what's being prepared, he is asking questions like he doesn't know. He knows auntie Doll because he had visited her before and he shouldn't be asking her questions as if he doesn't know. At times he would refer to dasheen bush leaves as spinach. He also said that there was aloo (potato for people who don't know what aloo is) in the eggplant choka. He referred to the pumpkin as choka. Maybe I have lived away from Trinidad so long, but I don't remember putting potato in eggplant choka unless it is being cooked in a pot and not roasted over flame. The other David should have been the guide. Oh, and that comment about the mother-in-law - well he really put both feet in mouth. It's a pity that there are more videos to come and we have to put up with him and his girlfriend. David is doing a good job but Jason Peru is grating on the nerves. All the food looks really good and she prepared a wide variety. She was even good with her description of the food. A very nice, calm lady doing what she does best.
Yes it is pumpkin choka or talkari, also he did refer to the dasheen bush as callaloo bush and taro. Jason and Candice is doing amazing love hearing them talk and describe the food
Awesome Jason must say u really gave David an amazing tour of our sweet tnt and exposed him to all our beautiful people,culture and our food..... I really enjoy looking at ur vids Chef Jason and I really enjoyed David's tour
@@Trini_Skunt-Troll I can tell your ethnicity by your response. You guys are the only people who dont know how to behave in a global setting. Always showing yuh dutty small minded , ways smh shameful.
Very informative, never been to that area of Trinidad being from St.James, however the culinary skills of the cooks were amazing, great segment. Reminds me of my grandmother 's cooking.
