Eggplant has many additional names here in Trinidad. Melongene, aubergine, baigan... which one do -you- use the most? 🤔

Growing up coconut sweetbread was a treat that I looked forward to with wide open eyes. Dropped off by a myriad of ‘aunts’, it always arrived wrapped in plastic cling or aluminum foil. Soft with a thick brown crust that glistened with sugar crystals, raisins and chunks of sweet dry coconut meat were studded throughout. [LINK IN BIO] Personally I prefer to make mine without mixed peel however it definitely has its devotees! Let me know, are you #TeamMixedPeel or not? 🤔

One of the things I love about running my Twitch stream is being able to share a variety of vintage Trinbagonian media content such as the above commercial for Malta Carib! Younger viewers really love seeing Trinis of yesteryear, and well for us more um "seasoned' members it brings on the nostalgia! ⁠
⁠
I had hoped to return to live streaming this month however my health, apartment reno, and preparations for a major life event I have to attend to next month, have gotten in the way. August seems so far away at this moment, but I know it will come in the blink of an eye, so I am focusing on then to be back on your screens! 🤗

I always enjoy a chance to grab a bite of local snacks and 'street eats' when I'm out and about. Pictured here is the 'chip chip' style of Trinidad Saheena [LINK IN BIO}. A more laborious, and one may argue more traditional, rolled version also exists and I keep meaning to share that version on the site! Naturally vegan, and if you stick to just chickpea flour it's also gluten-free. Traditionally deep-fried, if you're feeling particularly renegade you can also give them a try in the air-fryer! Yeah, I went there 🤣

Corpus Christi Greetings go out today to the Roman

Corpus Christi Greetings go out today to the Roman Catholic community. Many will be planting seeds today in honor of the festival. ⁠
⁠
From NALIS.gov.tt: ⁠
⁠
Since there is often a great deal of rainfall around the time of the Corpus Christi celebrations, gardeners in Trinidad and Tobago consider the day to be good for planting, as it is believed that anything planted on this day will thrive. The prospect of showers does not in any way deter those observing the day, whether planting or taking part in the public processions. Both farmers and first time planters try to get the best fruit and vegetable plants for this occasion and many gardeners stock up on seeds, seedlings, plants and fertilizers. Some planters also carry their seeds to church services for blessing. Among the popular plants purchased during this time are tomatoes, hot peppers, melongene (eggplant or aubergine), ochro, patchoi (Chinese cabbage or bok choy), lettuce, and grains such as corn and pigeon peas.⁠

This recipe for Oven-Baked BBQ chicken was one of the first that I shot for TriniGourmet with my, at the time, snazzy Canon Powershot A50. I felt so LEGIT! 🤣 Although there is no substitute for BBQ from the grill, oven-baked chicken recipes are, in my eyes, a perfectly acceptable substitute as the results of this recipe will testify!

p.s. I know I'm behind on responding to many comments. Things have been really intense offline for a while now. I am hoping to be able to set aside some time at the end of the week to catch up and reply to you all! Hope you understand :)
