[@lorrainecrumley2017]

I'm craving that Trini food! I left the Trinidad in 1973. Oh, I loved seeing the video. It makes me drool wish they had a place like this in Sacramento, California.

[@roshana917]

I would recommend trying doubles from a guy named Brandon by the Arima market

[@ArunaKhudan]

We need to have a course in Trinidad for foreigners - "How to eat a doubles" lol

[@realtrini6013]

[@blessedforever3718]

[@junioracunareyes1776]

[@omaroandsally3161]

[@devan546]

[@antoniokashi7400]

Hell Is Not Sweet Bro

[@thebestoflondon]

Na Guyanese them people will make rock taste good

[@carolharper4401]

That is so true Trini's know how to season food. My mom use to season food so good.

[@raviramdeen8417]

WTZF, the cooked tarro leaf with ochroes is calalloo. Saheena is the tarro leaf steamed and rolled in split pea powder rolled and fried. This woman gives misinformation.

[@curtisthomas2670]

The leaf is also callaloo

[@True-trini]

That is locally renowned chef Debra Sardinha-Metivier. And she not trying to sound like a yankee, that is the way the woman does talk, she dealing with international people all the time. Gorsh man.

[@kkgtt]

EPIC FAIL WITH SHE

[@islandgirl3330]

She sounds very Trinidadian to me.

[@alieninthecaribbean]

Thank you. Some Trinis are educated and eloquent. She speaks as Wendy Fitzwilliam would.

[@j3lli3s]

alieninthecaribbean correct

[@alieninthecaribbean]

Sometime we take this "we doh catah" thing too far. You not going to lose your Trini authenticity by speaking proper English when dealing with people from other parts of the world. Sometimes you have to compromise and meet the world half-way in order to be understood and not be considered a ignorant person. Even Sprangalang tones it down (and he is an old Naps boy so he very eloquent) or explains the jargon when dealing with foreign people. Being understood is more important than, "keeping it real". If you not understood you don't COUNT, what you say doesn't COUNT. They already looking at our dark skin and Caribbean nationality and assuming we uneducated, it's good to shock them with some Queen's English sometimes, which when we master it, plus add our little unique inflection and colorful turn of phrase is quite an impressive thing to hear. We speak it better than even the Americans or British do.

[@moon3596]

show the man how the eat the doubles nah...he might take 15 mins to eat one lo

[@Islam4ever2006]

lol she was fighting so hard to go in there and show him herself! i think that was her favorite one out of all. she looked like her mouth was watering.

[@joace8575]

Beautiful how it's Indian influenced. Everything looks delicious!

[@jaideepghosh5643]

The Indian influence in the food is very distinct. Even the names like chana (chick pea) and baingan (egg plant) are so similar.

[@curtisthomas2670]

About half the population is Indian, descendants of indentured laborers

[@tiffanylewis1822]

Ugh I just got back from Trinidad and I ate here it was amazing !!!

[@sumitkumar-el3kc]

Wow you guys and we Indians have a lot in common.

[@javaChai]

They’re 30 to 40% Indian heritage

[@forward_ever_ever2595]

Similar yet very distinct differences

[@RepentorPerish77]

After marrying a trini woman I got fat...🤣🤣..I love the food...all of my American family and friends love my wife’s cooking

[@courtneyleeti4327]

My beautiful beautiful Trinidad!

[@trip5497]

Tabanka in North Lauderdale, FL has some of the best dobles and Aloo Pie you can imagine.

[@forward_ever_ever2595]

Some of the best over there...nothing compared to home

[@TrevsTravelTales]

yum. thanks now I'm hungry. But I need to go there to get the good stuff. Looks Great,

[@d2pans]

Who made that doubles? I never see a flying saucer thick barra like that!

[@suzanneolliviere3767]

[@simonehannaf]

[@rajnauthlal5607]

[@bdsbckjdskl]

[@normalstuff8847]

[@tweegyblink]

I came here for the doubles.

[@masterjedikeith4952]

Me too🤪🤪👍👍🇹🇹

[@BobaWithChaitea]

I love being a dayum trini!!♥

[@MUGAN-VI]

These so-called food experts can't eat anything & they don't know anything about taste.

[@trabz_2780]

Yes man

[@MrCarlo2007]

Debra is my cousin and she is the best chef I know.

[@creepycrawly101]

but I know growin up the official breakfast is saltfish and fry bake, or baighan and roast bake, or even fry bake and tomato choka.

[@simonehannaf]

that may be then but the average trini now looks for anything fast and easy to handle so there is a variety of things which can be purchased like you said from roast bake, fry bake and sada with shark, saltfish, alloo, baighan and many other fillings to the doubles, alloo pies sahina ect. This is now what most person seek to purchase as street food but they are just the basics. There are a lot more trini street foods that can be added to the list. As we say here variety is the spice of life BTW we love love all the variety of old and new condiments which can vary from location to location.

[@shivaniermt]

Or fry aloo and roti

[@xenakaii]

I just make some fry bake yesterday!

[@PreacherDann]

I’m soooo vex right now after seeing all that good food 🤤 I miss home so much I need a sea bath 👹 Nice video tho!!✊🏾

[@nazminnarine7901]

[@mangalbob956]

[@Shirviu]

[@empogirl]

[@amitmukhi6800]

Looks like a remix version of Indian street foods 😋

[@forward_ever_ever2595]

Its very different. The nation is very mixed with every race you can think of. Each food has touches of influences from the other ethnic groups

[@lakeishameriez2061]

I'm just glad y'all chose the best doubles stand 😂👌🏽

[@tsharma028]

this is chola bhatura in India & it looks really good, like in india

[@jevonwalcott5465]

[@afeishacharles8613]

That's what we talking bout...big up to Trinidad and Tobago.

[@SteveMaddenAddict]

How dat doubles looking so sad?

[@gk891]

The vendor stall where they got the doubles from (The Green Shed) isn't really known for their doubles. They seem to specialize more in saheena, baiganee, and aloo pie. Their doubles are far from their best dish.

[@Nigel_DeLaVega]

Debe doubles is the worst....ntm really poor customer service....I don't buy anything there

[@funwithandreacuteadventure8021]

DAH SAHEENA LOOKING GOOD DOH

[@TriniLisa]

I'm hungry now yummy

[@RootFooted]

The absolute best food in Trinidad and Tobago without question is Buss Up Shut!

[@tsharma028]

I love the way they say chana😆👍

[@cool121092]

Does anyone know the name of that Indian song playing in the background at around 4:47? I've heard it before but never knew its name, it's probably the only Indian song I like that I've heard.

[@lashawnbaptiste8881]

Love the roti and potates classic

[@GlamMomOnABudget]

He ain't wanna eat that food..piecing off lil meaninless tidbits....

[@carltonleechee1214]

[@adric137]

[@maxcambridge7055]

Wonder if they have doubles and aloo pie in India - just asking , lol.

[@rubeeshmangroe]

Omg same as in Suriname .Only delicious food .Love it

[@mrladnek5858]

R M because the Indians in Trinidad & Suriname hailed from Bihar & Uttar Pradesh in the 1800’s.

[@rosamundakajessiejulien8994]

🙏 I'm from both surinam and Trinidad lol mom is trini and dad is suri...when it comes to Indian food my siblings and parents they become Indians lol I live in Trinidad when I go to surinam its all trini food and spices it take there and when I'm coming back it's all javaans food and spices lol

[@shardaram999]

Green shed is the best!!

[@thenowchurch6419]

I could taste dat Alloo pie straight thru the computer screen !

[@434sweetness]

Look and they taste wonderful 😁😁😁😁😁😁🇬🇩🇹🇹

[@nileshjak8210]

Trini food and women are the best:)

[@forward_ever_ever2595]

You sure right about that...so many races living peacefully...it is by far the most cosmopolitian caribbean nation

[@joannew-schmidhammer9325]

The real Bhaigini is with split peas flour over bhaigan ( aubergine). Not an aloo pie filled w bhaigan. There's a white truck n the middle of the Southern Main Road, Curepe on weekends. Their Saheena and Bhaigini are A+

[@genevaneale729]

My oh my this tasting session is great me mouth is watering forgot. Yes.

[@lisalai8709]

Nah man...he need help with dat doubles😂🤣

[@farklotinc3359]

i find dat everybody doubles does taste different some does taste like plain dhal and some does just taste like doubles ok so idk if its just me but yall ever say to yourself that ''these doubles don't taste like how they used to taste''

[@NilaS2895]

Too much inaccurate information in this video. The woman knew nothing about any of food items.

[@appletree8441]

Yes. I know all about street food. Well done. 😁

[@WA-hornet007]

TNT awesome country , great street food however as you venture into interior on this country , the accent becomes much much harder to understand .

[@kdee868]

we really hope to have men like you mister. we are working well together. we have to prefer festivities mister.

[@islandgirl3330]

Doubles, the official breakfast food? What happened to bol jol and bake?? I am surprised that for one of Trinidad's top chefs that she would say such a thing. I thought that Bol Jol and Bake was the top breakfast dish that you would find Trinidadians making on a weekend for breakfast with avocado pears and sliced boil eggs. That is what you will find even at most Trinidad brunches abroad. I was in Trinidad for 1 month and did not even see a doubles stand.

[@safhammed9131]

Trinidad has soo many cultures that there is no set breakfast or national dish - everyone might say something differently and I think that is what makes us so special

[@islandgirl3330]

In the early days, bake and Bol Jol was the traditional breakfast dish but I would agree with you now that things have changed.

[@trinibeanmi5104]

Doubles Eh Trinidadian Since Birth :P So .. Yeah ... Bout Boil Egg :v :v :v

[@radica75]

She is wrong and so are YOU!! People eat what they want to eat!! There are no "OFFICIAL BREAKFAST FOOD" Avocado pears?? "Islandgirl" sit down and shut up! Take it from a born Trini WOMAN!! You were in Trinidad for a month and that made you an expert? There are doubles stand in every town. What you talking about "brunches abroad??"

[@islandgirl3330]

It is sad that some people only know to insult people when they speak. First of all you insult me by telling me to "sit down and shut up". It surely tells me what type of person you are. Secondly, you assume that I am a foreigner. I was born, bred and educated in Trinidad. When I lived at home that was one of the national breakfast dishes. I live in North America and we still serve it at all of our T&T brunches and I mean public brunches. Trinidad's population has changed drastically since I left and the style of eating has also changed. Doubles was not as popular and easily bought by the public when I left Trinidad. I was on vacation and I was not served any local dishes at the B&B where I stayed. If I wanted to purchase doubles, I was told that I would have to go to St. James very early in the morning. It would be nice if you would learn to be more courteous with your language. You might benefit from it. I don't know what the parents of today are teaching their children. People like you seem to think that being obnoxious to others is a feather in your cap. She said that doubles is the official breakfast food in Trinidad. I am quite sure that with the exception of Indians that other people do not prepare doubles for breakfast, they may buy it, but not prepare it, then I would call it the official breakfast food. I did have bol jol and black pudding at a few friends.

[@kwesidiamonds8242]

I was just watching the lady , She is so beautiful

[@dellahful]

You have to teach him how to eat de doubles. Yummy 😋

[@alexthegreat445]

This is the most inaccurate review ever. For starters it look like this girl dont know how any of these things are actually made..sahina is made with baji not callaloo..the pies are NOT stuffed afterwards with the filling.. it is fried with the potatoe or egg plants inside of it.. and lastly, SWEETSAUCE IS NOT FOR DOUBLES. Thank you.

[@bertillehunte3242]

A lot of people do use dasheen bush and she referred to filling as Channa and sauces. She did mention the potato and melongene being cooked with the fritter.

[@madphilip12]
