Pelau

I chose to write about Pelau because my aunts are planning a bus trip to Six Flags this summer and when they have the bus rides they serve food and the meal that is served on the way home is usually Pelau, which consists of rice, meat (preferred chicken) and pigeon peas, at least those are the main ingredients. Also served with a salad on the side and a cold drink. Now not everyone can make Pelau well but once you taste the right one, you fall in love.

Unfortunately I have not mastered Pelau just yet, last time I made it the peas was too hard my cousin almost lost his teeth, Im still working on it

I Think I had enough

It is possible to be tired of food isn't it?  Well I am one who enjoys food but the same thing almost every night makes you tired of it an maybe even not want it ever again.  My Dad is here in New York visiting from Trinidad and he believes he is the best cook and he likes the cook the same things over, and over, and over.  His favorite thing to cook, which seems like he cooks it every other day is Stew beef and rice.  Don't get me wrong I enjoy stew beef and it is easier to make than stew chicken <---(a previous blog) but it seem like he cooks it every other day.  Is it possible to get tired of your favorite food?

Saltfish (Buljol)

So this weekend my family had to come together for an unfortunate event and with all the stress and stuff there wasn't much time to prepare food so a quick an easy meal is.....BULJOL........ is From the French patois, "Brûlê Gueule," or "burn mouth," a mixture of shredded, de-salted codfish, oil, onion, tomatoes, black, hot and/or sweet peppers, etc. Apparently the original recipe called for really hot peppers -- hence the name "burn mouth."-- From Cote Ci, Cote La: Trinidad & Tobago Dictionary, by John Mendes, © 1986. Also if you can't handle de pepper then u don't have 2 put it in. Could be eaten with bread or (coconut/fry bake) <--next post http://houseoflime.blogspot.com/2006/02/trini-tuesday-buljol_21.html

Roti


Trinidad is a land of diverse cultures. Roti come from the East Indian people and is a favorite once the right person makes it. Consists of a flour bread with ingredients inside could be some form of meat curried, or vegetables, channa, potato and maybe some pepper sauce


Im gettin hungry thinkin about it and no i don't know how to make it I just know how to eat it. You also have to know that you eat it with your hands.

Bake & Shark


Shark, yes shark fried, then there is the Bake which is made of flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt and oil for frying.......Nothing much is to be said about this because you just have to taste it, it is great.
You can find the best Bake & Shark (in my opinion) at Maracus Bay beach, on the north coast of Trinidad.

Child-hood favorite

LOVE LOVE LOVE cheese paste sandwiches. Now anyone that know me, knows I love sandwiches. Cheese paste sandwich consists of grated cheese, mixed with mayo and maybe even a little hot sauce (optional). Mix the cheese with the mayo and then spread it between two slices of bread, and you good to go. Its good for parties (finger food). But somehow there are only a few child hood friends from Trinidad that like, other people get freaked out. It is such an easy snack, and yummy too.
