When visiting Trinidad check out our fresh food markets, where history and tastiness meet.

From mangoes brought over because of colonisation and imported labourers centuries ago to locally grown hot peppers, these markets were where I spent many early Saturday mornings (before 6 a.m.) because my parent insisted on getting the freshest ingredients.

Needless to say, I was not pleased but as an adult, I enjoy early Saturday mornings at the market.

Are you team fresh market or team grocery?

Doubles are more than just a street food. They’re a symbol of Trinidad & Tobago’s rich history!

Rooted in the traditions of indentured labourers who were brought from India, this iconic street food, made with fried bread, chickpeas, and flavourful sauces, has become the heart of our local flavours.

As a child, I had to get one from a vendor who sold just outside my school. This was when I got familiar with pepper sauce!

Click. Book. Done! And no dancing required 😁

😋 Every bite (and sip) tells a story of the history, culture, and vibrant soul of Trinidad.

Come for the food, stay for the stories.

What do fried and baked pastries have in common?

Centuries of Trinidad and Tobago history, and lots of deliciousness and joy in every bite!

Fried goodies like aloo pies and saheena tell the stories of the resourcefulness of our ancestors; creating magic from simple ingredients.

Meanwhile, baked favourites like coconut rolls and beef pies carry whispers of colonial influences, sweetened and spiced with local creativity.

These pastries aren’t just snacks—they’re stories, comfort, and happiness rolled into one. 🌟

Which pastry always puts a smile on your face? Share your favourite memory with us in the comments, and share this post with someone who loves a good food history lesson! 🤓

Indigenous cooking style mixed with discarded food scraps.

Trinidad & Tobago's pastelles are a very popular food item at Christmas time.

They are very similar to Venezuela's hallacas and Puerto Rico's pasteles. They are delicious mix of meats with olives and capers steamed in a cornmeal dough and wrapped in banana leaves.

Paselles combine the cooking methods of the indigenous peoples (eg., the use of cornmeal) and the scraps of food discarded by the slave masters (such as meat, olives and capers) and used by the African slaves to make this dish for their own Christmas dinner.

This is a coconut roll in all its pastry-filled glory!

It checks all the boxes when it comes to a deliciously fun time:
✅It's delicious
✅It's pleasantly sweet
✅It has a wonderfully crumbly pastry
✅There's coconut inside

Which end would you bite into first?

A "healthy" dessert?

Trinidad's cassava pone is an indigenous snack/dessert made with cassava, coconut, pumpkin, sugar, and various spices.

It's very tasty. It has a texture similar to bread pudding.

I'm very happy to live in a country where "real food" is the absolute norm!

What a comforting hug looks and tastes like; soup!

A typical Trinidadian soup is thick, rich, packed with a party of flavour and makes you feel so good!

Where I find peace and reset my soul; a fresh produce market.

The sights, colours, sounds, tastes, and feel of everything wrap themselves around you in a sort of spiritual comfort.
