A taste of long time or rather a feast of long time lol and of course this is a long overdue post... If my bread ain't butter then I find ways to butter it! This is what I imagine that a *long time* trini kid would experience during the August vacation minus the aunt yelling at you to sweep the yard and chase the chickens back in the coop every evening. Sliding down a hill on an overgrown dasheen leaf and breaking your little tail, dusting yourself off immediately so you can get away from a proper cutass 😅 *Aunty can't find out inno* Sneak your way back and you smell freshly baked dirt oven bread...uuummm yea!!! First instinct is to pilfer piece if you can and paste some butter fast fast and gobble it down. Then wipe yuh greasy mouth on your jersey. Don't wanna get pelt down with rubber slippers 😪 or get your ears wring up 🥺 Nose running because pepper bunnin after you climb the neighbor's plum tree and make chow and throw the seeds right underneath 😂 Try to cool it down with a peanut sucker bag and your hands red with the coldness but you ain't gonna stop 🙈 Smell the cocoa tea brewing 🤤🤤🤤 cocoa blocks, cinnamon, bay leaf, tonka bean, clove, nutmeg...you know it's dinner time and your belly full but you still dipping the bread in the hot soup because you know you can only get a piece of sponge cake after you finish eat up aaaaallllllll of your food. That's not how my day went down lollll but I did enjoy all of these in one day... Firstly @tamanamountainchocolates 2nd Annual Cocoa Festival is where I acquired the dirt oven bread, drinking cocoa blocks and chocolate. Came home and picked some plum and made a bess chow, enjoyed my sucker bag, made dinner and collected a sponge cake baked in that Danish butter cookie tin from Robin's wife 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 It was one of my happiest days ever! #longtime #lontimetrinithings #trinithings #trini #triniexperiences #lifeintrinidadandtobago #tamanamountainchocolates #tamana #cocoa #chocolate #cocoatea #dirtoven #dirtovenbread #plumchow #augustvacation #suckerbag #breadandbutter #spongecake #robinwifespongecake #ilovefood #ilovetoeat #foodadventures #iamatrini https://www.instagram.com/p/B3H5Q-KBiju/?igshid=1m4q8xpzbiao1

I'm more of a paratha girl and there's only one woman's dhalpuri that I loooooovvvve but I haven't been able to savour (roll it up while smoking hot, break it in half and sit on a concrete block in the backyard with a can coke or red solo...in my most homeless appearance ever) in more than 5 years 😭😭😭 So thin you can lift it up and see the dhal and light coming through...like something from the heavens, soft like I can wear it as a scarf but we don't waste, especially subliminal food, tasty that you can eat it as is without choking or needing curry to soak it in and be satisfied and dhal aaaaaallllllll the way to the ends of the roti 🤩😍 Let's take a moment to appreciate this dhalpuri that isn't the dhalpuri I just described but it comes close enough for me to enjoy it 🥺🤤 #dhalpuri #trinidad #trinithings #trinifood #trinieats #lifeintrinidadandtobago #trini #trinistyle #redsolo #roti #ilovefood #ilovetoeat #trinifoodie #trinidadfood https://www.instagram.com/p/B03wOnEhqRz/?igshid=pek0a6cvmjng

On a real Soharee Leaf 😍😌 It's like all the planets and stars in the cosmos are perfectly aligned and all is well and happy in my belly again 🙂 #prayersfood #trinieats #trinilife #trinithings #trinifood #trinidad #trinistyle #lifeintrinidadandtobago #sohareeleaf #channaandaloo #pumpkin #bhaji #karhee #bussupshot #paratha #mango #mangotalkarie #motherinlaw #muddainlaw #soyachunks #sweetrice #ilovefood #ilovetoeat #foodadventures https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WHjI4BTFV/?igshid=ety7wz7tyrww

My phone probably holds at least 35 images of this same meal which is a small number compared to what I'm capable of 😅 Couldn't decide on which one to post so why not have a few images of the same thing? 🤷‍♀️ This time the food didn't get too cold by the time I was finished snapping so yaaay tongue and tummy...we had a nice time 🤤😋 #trinithings #trinifood #curryduck #curryquack #trinidad #paratha #hotpepper #carvalhohot #curry #ilovemybelly #ilovefood #ilovetoeat #foodie #trinifoodie #ttfood #plentysauce #trinidadfoodies #imakeyoudrool #drool #caribbeaneats #trinieats https://www.instagram.com/p/ByvqCgtBZiZ/?igshid=1b07vb87kag5q
