How To Make Trinbago-Style Breadfruit Oil Down | Foodie Nation x Trini Food Designer - Arlene

[@judysammy6486]

To make the best oil down you must use the yellow breadfruit and not the white one The yellow one is creamy I love oil down

[@blessedhighlyfavored5309]

I don’t know how to choose breadfruit. How would I know which breadfruit is yellow?

[@judysammy6486]

The white one is long and the yellow one is round and it is light yellow as long as you see the white milk stain on it you know it's full I hope this helps the white one does really hard and does not cook well that's why you have to use the yellow one

[@blessedhighlyfavored5309]

Thanks so much. In North America it’s hard to find but I’ll keep looking.

[@bstoute]

If I see breadfruit at the supermarket in Maryland I grab it.... does not matter white or yellow. Beggars can’t be choosers. Lol.

[@nattylew5058]

You're so right. Using the yellow one now and it looks like golden vanilla ice cream. I think I must've let it ripen a bit too much because it's kind of soft but I'm using it still. First time making oil down so I'll see how it goes

[@triniwmn3]

To all Grenadians, this is a Trini version of Oildown so it will be completely different from yours. It's like callaloo from Jamaica which is different from Trini callaloo. Mind you callaloo is our national dish. There's no who made it better. The ladies acknowledged that Oildown is a national dish in Grenada, they made their own version, Trini version that is and let's leave it at that. It's not that serious!!

[@roxannebrazil7248]

Exactly 💯 I don't understand why all the blasted fuss especially if the title said Trinbago version, shoot at least they acknowledge where it originally came from backside people miserable yes smh.

That's Trinidad way of making oildown soup. Grenadians do not do their national dish Oildown that way. Let it dry down till the oil is formed, turmeric and a little curry power for color is a must. I love Grenada food.

I'm glad to hear all this goes into oil down. I live in Tobago but I was born in Trinidad when most of the Tobagonians I know say they only put the breadfruit and meat nothing else I thought I was doing something wrong but I will not put pigtail as my significant other doesn't eat pork🤫😥

I find you a bit rude, it's our national dish it is ours. We can't claim to cook paleau, doubles better than Trinis. We respect everyone's culture and food. I find the tone comes off very entitled big island, disregard small island. Could be wrong. I admire the chefs for letting it be know that this is the national dish of Grenada.

[@teneal9215]

That’s disrespectful❗️ as a Grenadian that is so disrespectful. How the fuck you could say SUCH thing. If it wasn’t for Grenada OIL DOWN Trinidad would NEVER BE CALLING THIS TRINIDAD OIL DOWN VERSION. The sad part about it is that is our NATIONAL DISH of Grenada. If GRENADIANS disrespected your COUNTRY NATIONAL dish it would have been disrespectful. How dare u aa stop that. This oil down is SOUP I CANNOT STRESS MYSELF OUT ABOUT THIS. You better put some respect on the original oil down yes.
