Just you saying that that the fishcake was 'doughy' tells me that it was NOT the best fishcakes. Should be light and fluffy. Unfortunately sometimes they give you anything and say ' authentic' when it's really just the the ppl they work with. From a Bajan in America.✨💯✨...🌹
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I am still a Bajan, after many years of self-imposed exile. Matt's video on the sweet food, brings to mind good memories from the years ,when I was brought up under the repressive clouds of an up- tight, hierarchical colonial culture. I am glad that there is till so much that is now good and flourishing ,in my young Nation.
Wanted to say that sorrow is a very good drink but it’s so much better when the bajans and put lots of sugar in it just makes so much more tasty but definitely less organic.
I think the person that doing tours with food critics should no about the foods of the country rotis are from India Chefette chicken is or special Bararbdos chicken
They have been in Barbados for over 50+ years . When visiting Barbados I would have to be really hungry to visit Chefette. The food is nothing to write home about. So many other good, small vendors around the Island. Visit Cuz and there is another guy by Folkstown Park that sells really good food.
Yo Matt like many others I stumbled accross your vids but I'm so glad I did. I'm a born and bred Londoner but my parents were from Barbados and I lived out there from 16-21 yrs old and have visited the island countless times. I have not been recently due to covid but I have to say I really enjoy your vids. They bring back many, many sweet memories for me. I am very impressed with your knowledge of the island (you obviously do your homework) and your presentation style is 'spot on'. I love the fact that you and your lovely parents are exploring the non tourist spots and mingling with the locals and not just lazing on a beach. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with that and Barbados has many, many unbelieveably gorgeous beaches but it also had a lot more to it as you guys are finding out. Keep up the good work. Btilliants vids.
When I was went to Barbados I went to a bar in Baksters Road and they were twice the size of the one's you get from Chafet, I also got fish cakes from a lady that sold herbs in front off a Bakery they were yummo. Loved the food and the people in Barbados, love also swimming in the Caribbean Ocean🙂💖
no fruit store vegetables,oranges ,bananas,,,watermelon ,,many other ,,guarapo,,etc,,,,man to me this place has no mother nature happiness,,,,everything is dead food....killer minds....please,,save me....,,,lol ,,,,yes,,,, i needed to keep watching,,,long video ,,but i love it.....thankyou....
Hot legendary fishcakes 🔥 bread and 2 with cheese is also the bomb i.e two fishcakes in a saltbread with a slice of cheese..that combination is indescribable
This was refreshing to watch. You seem to have had a good time. It was a good representation of the island. I would let you try other fishcakes though… … other than that, this was marvellous to see Barbados through another pair of eyes.
Hey Matt, awesome video! If you are in Barbados can you just do a walking tour of Bridgeport? I t definitelt DOES NOT have to be long but it would be greatly appreciated to see how it is! Thanks in advance for considering this.
I stayed at the Sandals resort in Barbados. The resort was a lot different than actually touring Barbados. It seemed like half their population worked at the resort and depended mainly on tourists to visit. We were told by workers in the resort that we were safer outside the resort more than the locals because they knew we were their source of $$. Which I found interesting. Hope you got to visit Rihanna's old house and new mansion.
@LA, that's like saying you're going to Aspen to ski even though they have no snow. Tourist season peaks and fall so they hire additional help, etc.. Where is the other half of the population???? At Sandy Lane and Hilton😂😂😡
What an ignorant statement about half the population work at the hotel. Before visiting a country do your research about the country. You sound like someone who visit countries and just criticize the place. 😮
McDonald's opened 1989 closed 90 Could've pass on the roti Fish cakes were stale lol not supposed to be chewy. That cou cou wasn't mellow...it suppose to slip down your throat with hardly any chewing😐
I’m going to put some of these spots on my list for my upcoming bim trip! Except chefette. Those rotis are terrible 😄. There are some spots in bdos to get authentic and delicious trini rotis. Love this bdos series! 👏🏾
Beautiful tour very educational, cultural, and great gastronomy. Total Foodies you and your lovely family became in downtown Barbados. Thanks for sharing.
