I watch with subtitles on....as you added the chicken to the browning the sound was picked up and the subtitles picked it up as applause. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Can I use a Straw to eat this Concoction?

[@caribbeanpot]

yea, have the ambulance on speed dial for when yuh ass choke

[@afiainafrica3871]

What is the manufacturer’s name for the pot you’re using? It looks like a nice one. Who would thumb down this video?

[@caribbeanpot]

I don;t recall.. I'll check back when I get home

[@kirklinhall2408]

Hi, what all varieties of chilis do you grow there?

[@caribbeanpot]

about 7 in total

[@rochelleherbert389]

Wet Pelau anytime. Its vincy thing.

[@caribbeanpot]

Rochelle.. Vincy? Caribbean oui..

[@bronzebomber814]

Is it traditional to use spinach or could I use callaloo

[@caribbeanpot]

Yes and No.. as far as traditional is concerned. Some people do and others don't .Some add okra and pumpkin too. I assume you mean Jamaican Callallo or Dasheen Bush? either will work

[@sunnyman42]

You can also use callaloo bush.

[@tantymena9998]

Morning Chis, do you have any vegan video recipes?

[@caribbeanpot]

many.. check the play list and website

[@chanelmccarthy7936]

Im happy you didn’t add the okra .

[@addiaaj7389]

Chris which video is the dry version?

[@caribbeanpot]

check the other versions of Pelau I got on here or on the website

[@addiaaj7389]

@@caribbeanpot will do but I am guessing the trick to getting it dry or wet is simply a matter of how much water is used to boil it down??

[@addiaaj7389]

@@caribbeanpot on a side note I find that pigeon peas tend to let out more water.

[@savijb]

What pot are you using?

[@caribbeanpot]

A glazed cast iron dutch oven - got it at Sams Club

Thank you

Way U living Boy i want

[@chewsmba]

I want some pelau now. Now yuh missing one thing to go with that. Where's the Cole slaw?

[@caribbeanpot]

noooo... I prefer Mango Kuchela or Tomato Choka on the side. and MUST have a thick slice of Avocado

[@chewsmba]

@@caribbeanpot I must agree with the Zaboca. My Pelau must have either potato salad or cole slaw

[@MrJakeMallard]

I don't like pelau dry and grainy. I like it wet. I could get down on a big pot of wet pelau 24/7.

[@ladyinredlace]

Chris that doesnt look like 4 cups of rice ..in this video looks like 2 cups of rice
