Pastries
I really enjoy a good flaky pastry and I get those types of pastries in Trinidad and Tobago. The pastries that I get on Tortola, British Virgin Islands is more of a bread like consistency. One of my favorite pastries that I like to buy when I am in Trinidad is Cream horns. The pastry is shaped into a cone and filled with a cream filling! Yummy!!
Chicken
You probably think that it is strange that chicken is on my list. Let me explain why by sharing my story. My mother loves Chinese food so one day we went to a Chinese restaurant to get some of their delicious Chinese dishes and to me the chicken tasted exceptionally good – fresh and moist!!! Then I realized that there are many chicken raring farms in Trinidad and Tobago so the food outlets can get fresh chicken on a regular basis. In the British Virgin Islands, we import chicken and many other food items. So the chicken we eat on a day to day basis is not fresh so you will definitely taste the difference in the chicken.
Roti
Roti – dhalphori and parata aka bus-up-shut that I get in Trinidad is so moist, thin and light. Yum!! I prefer bus up shut. I have been to Hosein Roti Shop in Trinidad and their roti is always good. We get roti in Tortola British Virgin Islands but it is not as light as the ones in Trinidad. Bus-up-shut is a rare sight. Check me out eating a goat roti from Charlie’s Café in Tunapuna. CLICK HERE.
Mango Amchar
I love mango amchar. This is a salty, spicy snack that I totally enjoy. You can also serve it as a side with a traditional Trinidad and Tobago meal. The brand that I particularly like is made by Paula’s. One time I purchased a bottle of mango amchar from a grocery store and it was dry and too salty for my liking. Each time I go to a particular pharmacy store in Petit Bourg, in the northern part of Trinidad, I must pick up a few packs of this mango amchar. It’s a pity I did not get any to bring to Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The reason I don’t really travel with these items is I feel that these foods items will be taken from me at the airport’s customs department.
Hey, honestly your site is coming along :-), but I had a question – it’s a bit slow. Have you thought about using a different host like propel? It’d help your visitors stick around longer = more profit long term anyway. There’s a decent review on it by this guy who uses gtmetrix to test different hosting providers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6s0ciJI4W4 and the whole video has a bunch of gold in it, worth checking out.
Picture this – 3 am in the morning, I had a line of fiends stretched around the corner of my block. It was in the freezing middle of January but they had camped out all night, jumping-ready to buy like there was a sale on Jordans. If you were 16 years old, in my shoes, you’d do anything to survive, right? I got good news though; I MADE IT OUT OF THE HOOD, with nothing but a laptop and an internet connection. I’m not special or lucky in any way. If I, as a convicted felon that used to scream “Free Harlem” around my block until my throat was sore, could find a way to generate a stable, consistent, reliable income online, ANYONE can! If you’re interested in legitimate, stress-free side hustles that can bring in $3,500/week, I set up a site you can use: https://incomecommunity.com
Thanks for your help and for writing this post. It’s been great.
