[@calih814]

Just stumble across your channel, nice video. Thanksgiving is only celebrated in the US Virgin Islands (in the Caribbean). If some other Caribbean islands have thanksgiving dinner then that family chose to do so but it is not a thing in the Caribbean. Only in the US, USVI and Canada is Thanksgiving Celebrated. Thanks for the video.

[@CookingWithRia]

Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it!

[@soniaharrison1016]

I need that peppered shrimp recipe before your book comes out😀😀

Dear Ria, Please Invite me for this kinda feast next year 2026....Ty!!!! Just WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😮🤤🤤🤤

[@CookingWithRia]

❤️👍😀

[@jennyconstantine146]

I’m guessing that’s boiling water added to the oxtail to keep it soft; cold water will make it tough

[@CookingWithRia]

It was very tender and so very delicious! There were hardly any leftovers for the next day! All 15 (not 10 as I said in the video) pounds almost gone!

[@salemabarker3712]

hello Ms Ria, I have been watching your KZbin channel for a few years. I’m like family 😊. I’m from Jamaica. Please please can you invite me to one of your dinners 😊. This food sell off as we say in Jamaica.

[@CookingWithRia]

Hello family! I’d love to have you and /or my biggest supporters over to taste our exceptional flavors! Something to think about. Let’s see how we can make it happen someday. 😀❤️🙏🏼

Hi. Sorry to hear that. Did you add the required amount of baking powder? Always double check the listed ingredients and ensure that rising agents are not expired. Try again and let me know! cookingwithria.com/2020/01/trinidad-sweet-bread-coconut-bread/#recipe

[@ariannawilson4536]

Wow! With all the evil history of Thanksgiving, we really, actually celebrate Thanksgiving here in the Caribbean? I didn't even realise it was a thing here. Aside from that though, we gotta eat and I love the videos you do.

[@calih814]

No it’s not celebrated in the Caribbean, that maybe a particular family bring their tradition and custom to the Caribbean.

[@ladieessence]

I don’t think she actually lives in the Caribbean and to each their own. You do you and let people live their lives.

[@calih814]

@ R U Crazy? Or do you not read properly? If that family wants to have thanksgiving where they are that “ family choose to” that’s what I said. I do not have time for your drama, enjoy your life.

[@islandgirl3330]

Which islands in the Caribbean except for the ones affiliated with the U.S.? I have never heard about it being celebrated in the islands that I have been to. We certainly don't celebrate it in T&T. I live in Canada so I celebrate it here because it is a public holiday and part of the culture. When we migrate, we celebrate the country's holidays. Ria lives in America, so she has adapted to the culture. Read her profile. If you look at her menu, it is not a typical American Thanksgiving menu. Re the evil part, we are free to think and use our common sense and not be brainwashed by other people's beliefs and opinions. Ria is celebrating it with Caribbean food in her house.

[@islandgirl3330]

Thanks, Ria, now I know why I no longer entertain. I tried to do the impossible. You did a lot of the preparation ahead of time and froze things. I will give it a try again. I was always late, so I stopped because of the complaints, and it was very tiresome and strenuous on me. Maybe you can make a video to tell us, who live alone, how to prepare for a dinner party.
