You went on the perfect day Chris..farmers cut vegs on Thursday for the weekend market. Everything looked so perfect and fresh. I would make the trip just for the peppers and caimite ☺☺The avocadoes you see there are from the Dominican Republic...quite nice but I prefer my local ones. I hope you stopped by the green shed to get some yummies 😀😀

[@caribbeanpot]

being honest - the street food in Debe did not live up to the hype.. we'll discuss in another video/trip

[@mogains]

*If someone had told me it have a market in Trinidad and Tobago that we have all those quality goods and the prices look way better than in the east. I wouldn’t have believed them. Beautiful upload 👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼🇹🇹*

[@caribbeanpot]

I was really impressed by the cleanliness of the entire area too

[@cherrydhee]

[@sexipee]

Oh how i would love a nice chilled portugal

[@caribbeanpot]

I real vex.. only after we got home did I realize dad cut down our tree and I didn't buy any

[@Uzosfoodlabs]

So so similar to markets here in Lagos. Down to the mystery bottled things. It makes sense but it's still uncanny. ...

[@caribbeanpot]

mystery bottle.. had me laughing there oui

[@Uzosfoodlabs]

caribbeanpot Lol. Oh yes. From yogurt to milk drinks to herb things that the seller's claim cure everything from malaria to impotence to keeping a man. And people buy. Smh

[@mslovinglife6165]

Your thumbnail reminds me of the pepper lime pepper sauce I made over the weekend. Wat ah pepper pretty 😀

[@caribbeanpot]

I'm sure it was fyah!

[@marceynewsome1946]

Man, I'm here grieving for some of those fresh produce.

[@caribbeanpot]

[@shawnmagicsubscribe827]

Yo Chris I need to know which part I'm getting my cookbook

[@caribbeanpot]

WestIndianFoodCompany.com

[@kattsragz320]

Nice views of the market. I'm the person who spoke to you at Piarco airport.

[@caribbeanpot]

thx for saying hello and supporting my work.

[@kattsragz320]

caribbeanpot it was a pleasure, next time you in Trini come cook at my house

[@rakeshpersaud9106]

Very nice, eat fresh and organic is healthy.

[@caribbeanpot]

I'd bet nothing there was organic.

[@judithrobinson526]

Where do you get those good Scotch bonnet pepper buy?

[@mslovinglife6165]

That market is a vegetarians paradise.

[@luisajeania3465]

MsLovingLife

[@caribbeanpot]

agree... lots of choices

[@Yeshua027]

What are the differences between the scorpion pepper and the scotch bonnets?

[@caribbeanpot]

heat! severe heat

[@iainronald4217]

The trained chef in me who knows hundreds of dishes from The Jamaica, Cuba, and Meixco to use all these in; the lean gym meal prepper in me who's began using all these fruits and veg because they're vitamin and mineral rich, cheaper, healthier, easier to cook and tastier; and the Farm2Table chef who uses the entire plant or animal and gets everything locally sourced and humanely raised are all dancing at the site of all that beautiful produce right now! (I was a Quebec food and N'Orleans food trained banquet chef, who knew a few dishes from every culture, and ran banquet kitchens and kitchens out in the alberta oil patch, before I went back to university lol)

[@guadalupeguedea4792]

Dasheen your favorite. Please how do you use Dasheen❓

[@caribbeanpot]

[@Liveonpoint99]

Where are the fruit markets?

[@roshanramsumair6474]

Nice video

[@elkecerre908]

Chris I didn't see any pomecithay, pomerac, or chenet.

[@Jeremiah-TwistedTrucker]

Where do you live? I'd love to go to this farmers market

[@caribbeanpot]

I'm in Ontario Canada

[@Jeremiah-TwistedTrucker]

I live in Las Vegas Nevada and you never see good farmer's markets here

[@marciaslaughter5654]

Love roasted corn

[@caribbeanpot]

not my fave.. I'm a boil corn guy

[@marciaslaughter5654]

Here in Mexico, they boil it without removing the shuck. Then they roast it. It is served with mayonnaise, lime, ground chili piquin and grated fresh cheese.

[@Terrilynn_Morris]

Hello Chris! My favourite KZbin dude lol I absolutely love when you take us on tours of local markets. My question for you, you showed us some scorpion peppers they look very similar to Scotch bonnet pepper in shape & colour aside from the chocolate ones, are they from the same family? I hear they are hotter. I noticed it is very pricey in Trinidad is there a particular reason? Thank you again for all your videos.

[@marilynr409]

Debe is the place where all the Cooley people work hard And plant rice and sugarcane

[@naakai6397]

That roast corn on the coal pot tho. Hmmmmmmmm

[@caribbeanpot]

the scent was captivating too

[@marciaslaughter5654]

Okra gumbo!! Almost never find okra in Mexico.

[@axman3128]
