OMG!, this is a very unique exquisite dish first time I have seen this. Love to try it, I live in Queens maybe the Jamaica restaurant has this. I will show them your video

[@darrenholder8653]

Doubt they'll have it. Oil down isn't a common dish you don't even find it at our restaurant regularly. Mostly, bushman and riverman does make oil down lol taste it, man pil tail or with some smoke herrings eh!!

[@banzaitnt]

Could never afford anything but the breadfruit from the neighbour and it works just fantastic with breadfruit only

[@andreajohnson174]

Hi Racquel, I've never eaten that dish but just looking at it makes my mouth watering I must give it ago 👍😋

[@ptseti]

Sis .. WOW thank you for spreading the culture. Never tried it as a Jamaican but I certainly will. ❤❤❤❤

[@WinWin-oi7to]

In Jamaica we called this, Mullo-plusto or All-in-one. Or even a version of peppa-pot soup. Memories!!!

[@sgreen4622]

Never heard of it but will definitely give it a try. I will have to substitute the 🐷

[@dontme4132]

Can use salt fish instead of pig tail

[@madelinedurand5632]

This looks good but I like the Grenadian oil down better. They add pumpkin and tumeric which gives it a nice color.

[@tamnum1]

Never heard of this before

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

Yes sis It’s Grenada’s National Dish, and an absolute favorite in Trinidad It’s really really delicious!! Finger licking kind of deliciousness 🤭

[@alexandrew-j8y]

U said it at e beginning ❤

[@noahprince350]

Ya Mon! TnT!

[@signatureicecream3354]

❤ best

[@yvyonnejoseph3657]

Can I substitute pig feet for tails? What if I can't find tarro leave what can I use?

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

You could add any meat kind of choice, pickled meat makes it better though. Spinach or Callaloo is another substitute for Tarro leaves

[@yvyonnejoseph3657]

Thank you

[@Kismet111]

❤❤❤

Great video! Remarkable work of introducing Grenada. We have a small request. We are making a nonprofit promotional video about Grenada. May we use your video to help promote Grenada’s cuisine? We will include your video link and relevant information about the creator at the end of the video.

[@ronek1007]

Oildown is Grenada's national dish but Grenadians DO NOT consider this Oildown. A Grenadian would call this a steam down.

[@Spiceluvj]

Next time add saffron or tumeric makes nice tasty color

[@authenticallytyra7759]

Oil down is Grenada’s 🇬🇩 national dish. We do this slightly different here. Good try. This can be done with a variety of meat.

[@darkhorse7393]

U

[@djqnotiq]

*Looks so Amazing tasty!!!! But No need for the swine(pork)!!!!

[@queenlavinda6566]

Why everyone saying Trinidad ?? This is a Grenadian dish .. out national dish in fact .. we never get credit

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

I did mention Oil Down is Grenada’s National Dish, but there are many different version of preparation from other Islands.

[@andregeorge4969]

Did you watch the video? She mentioned it within the first 30 seconds

[@keifyboi6913]

This is what happens when people hard of hearing and just wanna talk. " a comfort food in trinidad (factual statement) and its GRENADAS national dish" she even had a lil emphasis on Grenada.

[@HelloMiraBelle]

She did say that tho 🙄

[@GohAhweh]

🇹🇹👈⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@alexandrew-j8y]

Y dey alwyas say trinidad like fr dats our national dish yet we nah get no notice its always some other countries

[@bisnathlinc]

meat suppose to go in first

[@jenellegooding5228]

Idk what’s that but not Grenada dish 🥹😭

[@jenellegooding5228]

Our oil down don’t look like this

[@RacquelsCaribbeanCuisine]

Not once in my video did I mention this was Grenada’s oil down ! Didn’t you hear the part where there are many different versions of oil down ?

[@Jesusisimaginary]

Trinidad has the best foods in the Caribbean but sadly Trinidad also has the laziest women....

[@queenlavinda6566]

This isn’t a Trinidadian dish

[@melistasy]

😮😂

[@MerchantofTarshish]

@@queenlavinda6566 The version is Trinidadian as it has evolved from the original Grenadian Oil Down. "Trinidadian" is appropriate is this case.
