The Trinidad ‘Nutsman’ (video)

3 January 2007 515 views View Comments


In Trinidad the nutsman is a fixture on the street food scene and at sporting events. Sometimes he moves around with a cart, other times with a tray around his neck. Yet others have roadside stands, like the man in the above clip from the bookmann. As you can see people line up, prepared to wait, if a particular vendor’s reputation has dubbed his roasting style worthy. You can get your nuts plain, salted, or honey roasted. :) Click here to see another nutsman in action (note that the nuts are transported on the back of his modified bicycle!)

  • haha seriously they should reconsider that... i am convinced that's why americans keep dying of salmonella and e.coli... no resistance... street food from birth takes care of that! clean be damned, it's all about the germs :D

    we have allllll kind of street vendors hawking everything :D
  • that's nuts man! LOL. seriously though, they outlawed selling anything here in my province cause it's not considered "clean" :( not foodstalls or hawkers here.
  • Honey roasted back gyul :) but not like a bigshot thing anymore :) it just normal :P
  • Marsha
    Remember when the honey roasted first came out?
    There were a few vendors.
    Then it went out of style hahah
  • Joshua! :) I cannot take credit for the clip however I'm glad you enjoyed it :D Hopefully many more things will be added to that to-do list :D
  • Hey, Sarina! Did you film the clip? Guess I'll have to add the "nutman" to my must-do list for Trinidad! :-D
