Agreed! I think David is a bit uninformed and a little uneducated on the topic.. and in other videos it's highly cringe the way he pronounces "barra" .. like I wanna slap him lol

[@innervisions100]

Love the video, but the West Indies are called that because Europeans wanted to differentiate it from the East Indies (because I guess all the places they colonized were "Indies" to them). Actual Indians from India didn't start arriving to the West Indies until the early 1800s, long after it was named that.

[@privategirl2]

Late 1800. France was the first to abolish slavery, thans to the Haitians. Spain then England followed. France recaptured Haiti later on and eventually freed her in the early 1900's.

This was a wonderful showcase of West Indian culture but the guide was mistaken in his explanation of the differences between West Indian and East Indian….these terms are derivatives of the colonial period West Indies and East Indies when India and Pakistan, and parts of the Caribbean were colonies of the British Empire. Two trading companies were established to manage the colonies The West Indian Trading Company and the East Indian Trading Companies. The territories over times were referred to as the West Indies and East Indies….the term West Indian was originally assigned to the native aboriginal people of the Caribbean and South America that lived in the British colonies, but overtime came to refer to anyone of any racial or ethnic background that was born in the West Indies not only the descendants of indentured laborers.

[@disapphire]

Thank you for your explanation

[@msprupru14]

Thank you. Columbus was searching for a route to go east and ended up west in the Caribbean so he called the indigenous people "west Indians"

[@angelaalbury986]

He didn't mention the African contribution to Trini food

[@zochbuppet448]

@ Deon Gibson Just want to point out that the term West Indian has nothing to do with Indians in Caribbean. For some bizarre reason the younger generation of black folks think so. Everyone before knew that it mean everyone according to who immigrated there because of the the term British West Indies. Indians know that it doesn't mean just them, but strangely younger black people think that's what it means and they are offended by the term.

[@sahasransusbarik]

First of all he never called they are West Indies by root. He said his ancestors came to caribbean from India as indenture labour and finally they established in caribbean and didn't return. By the way there was no such term or country named as Pakistan by that time when people from India reached at Caribbean. Correct it if you don't know at all. We Indian know Columbus expedition to India by travelling west to east to reach in India. He thought world is round , so he needs to travel towards west to reach east in India. By travelling west from Spain the land he reached he called as this is India. That's how the America and caribbean called as west India or the native people there called by European as Indian. This is how it got the name West Indies.

Finally you made your way to some west Indian food 😋 1 of the best foods ever!!

[@curtisthomas2670]

The legend of how "doubles" got that name is this: it's originally a street food brought over by Indian indentured labourers and was originally called "bara" (the fried dough shells) consisting of only one bara and topped with channa (chickpeas). Then one day a buyer at a popular seller asked for a "double" or two baras with the channa instead of one. This caught on and eventually everyone was asking for a "double" and the dish eventually became referred to to as "doubles". Many different sauces and chutneys (condiments/salsas) have been added over time from tamarind, mango, cucumber, coconut, pommecythere (juneplum/golden apple/ambarella), moolai (white radish), chilis etc. It's traditionally sold from a box attached to the front cart of a bicycle.

West Indian is ANYBODY from the West Indies/Caribbean, not just people descended from South Asia. People of African descent and other races in the Caribbean are also West Indian

[@bizee9119]

It’s called West Indies because Columbus thought he landed in India. That’s where the name comes from. It’s was called West Indies before the British imported Chinese and Indians to fill the gap after they freed the slaves and they need cheap labor. It’s kinda a slap in the face how he intentionally cut Afro West Indians out of the picture.

[@nelcia1849]

Oh he knew.. all of us both Indian and African trinis are called west Indians . If he goes to India they won't accept him as an Indian. Its the same as a trini African won't be accepted as African in Africa. But some how trini Indians in trinidad always think they better than the trini africans .. the black race is the most hated and envied race .. every race thinks they are superior to them doesn't matter which country they live in .. And that's why he left out the afo trinis .

@ Cameron Enoch Only idiots think West Indian has to do with people of Indian origin. People of Indian origin know that it means everyone Please stop the idiotic comments about the term...its makes Black folks look bad, as it shows you have no basic knowledge of the history or culture . Its the host/ White guy that started the Explaining of what West Indies mean, Not the Indo guy. Yes I hate the way they leave out other food , but the place is a Roti Shop. Most Guyanese and Trinidadians are extremely bad at explain their culture to other people. they are not doing it purposely to leave out black people like nelcia suggests.

Singh's is my go to for home cooked Trinidadian food when in NYC! Great representation Dave! This true Trinidadian restaurant has a great representation of the dominant cultural cuisines offered on the island such as Indo, Creole and Chinese. It is that combination of cuisines that makes Trinidad unique. Most importantly is the "homestyle" ambiance at Singh's that people from all walks of life go there for; whether you just finished a 12 hr shift at JFK or you are a visiting professor yearning for something heartwarming and belly-filling and a "Trini lime" (social gathering). At any "lime" in Trinidad you will usually find gastronomic representation from all the cultures and peoples from all socio economic levels and that's what makes us equal at the table! Keep up the good work and PLEASE visit Trinidad soon, I am sure being from South Florida you have Trinidadian friends, if not the fans on here will hook you up ;-)

These people need history lesson. West Indies, called so because indians went there and settled? Columbus started his voyage in search of India. He lost direction and reached carribbean island and assumed he is in india. So when he met the native people, he called them indians ( native peoples of America are still called indians) Only later he realised, he is in the Western part of the world, but the name stuck. And the real india became East India ( That's how the British East India company and Dutch India came in to existanc. Later British took people from India to the carribbean islands as labourers, who kept their culture alive there. So, Indians in the term West Indies refers to the native indigenous people, say for example Caribe, not the other way.

A several generation down the road all these food changes over time n nothing like where it originates from, My point is that all these race from different land contribute to what we people of the Caribbean call West Indian food.

Bro, you don't know Indian civilization and history and its culture. India has 29 states, each states has completely different cuisines. You can not find Indian cuisines in one Indian restaurant which respresent whole Indian couisine. FYI, Srilankan cousine inspired from eastern states of India called Odisha, west Bengal and Bihar region. Because the ancestors of Sri Lanka have come from these region from 2500 years ago, and their food also similar to the eastern states of India. Trinidad cuisines also very similar to North and eastern state of India , those are Uttar pradesh, Bihar region . India is just like continent, every 100 km culture , language, dialect, cuisine changes. But you can say that whole South Asia starting from India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan have one cuisine that's called as Indian cuisine. After series of Islamic invasion and european collonisation, the land divided into different countries. But you can not differentiate Indian cuisine to Srilankan , Pakistan, Nepal or Bangladesh cuisine. Because some part of India was divided and formed new country.

[@sahasransusbarik]

If various spices are used in the food and curry is served means it's called Indian cuisine because Spices and Curry is developed in India. Various Spice is native to India. There is no such things as Srilankan, Pakistani, Bangladeshi or Nepali cuisine , these are all called Indian cuisine if spices are used in the food.

[@kayflip2233]

@@sahasransusbarik Dude, that's every cuisine. There's not one type of Italian food or one type of Mexican food either. But they have a general common taste and composition. Not trying to get too technical here, but I never had coconut and seeni sambol in India. I've been all over India. That's what makes Sri Lankan food stand apart. Also their egg hoppers and light curries. Indian curries always tasted heavier to me. I know Indians are the master cooks.

Little guyana in queens has a large population of Indo descended West Indians (the West Indies being a geographic location, not meant to describe the race or ethnicity of people living there, in fact the vast majority of West Indians (Caribbeans) are of African descent) Brooklyn has a very large afro-Guyanese population.

These dishes look typical of Bihari (no where else in India) household cuisine. Puri chana is (Doubles) Dalpuri (Dholpuri) Many curries also like stew as we do in Bihar

It's called Roti not roadie 🤣 But all joke aside I'm just loving fact that you're acknowledging Guyana 🇬🇾 my family's country and I salute you for that. Because Guyana never gets that much recognition or exposure. 🇬🇾🇱🇨🇬🇩
