Tremendous video sir.
The king fish looked very nice but my favourite was the salt fish and coconut bread made by that that lady who said - we have the best ladies - looked tasty.
I think the fresh ingredients and relaxed and sensible rules/regulations make the people you showcased mini-medium enterprises.
The lady who made the sesame balls and sweet cake fudge tray thing was cooking in her house i think and that seems to be resourceful and it makes sense.
The fresh ingredients and possibility to exports products make this a vibrant looking economic place.
How do you stay in shape eating so much?
Walking i guess.
Great video.

Tobago is where African culture is the most predominant compared to Trinidad. It has a lot of the traditions, culture and family values intact and the people have a deeper connection to the land and sea. I think that is why there is much less crime and it produces some of the BEST Afro-Caribbean talent per capita in our country who shine internationally, from Winston Duke to Dwight Yorke to Billy Ocean. It also has far less crime than Trinidad. People are more community oriented. I also think having a deeper connection to the land and the sea creates a different mentality than living in a concrete jungle.

this is definitely how our twin island republic should be showcased, not the insults of the politicians and the crime that seems to be taking over. truth be told Trinbagonians are a warm loving happy set of citizens who are always open to sharing a plate of food, a good meal and a drink. well done to Foodie Nation for inviting Mark Wiens, you have done more to showcase our islands than even our Tourist Board. And on another note I am almost certain the food Mark ate in Trinidad And Tobago must be the best tasting our flavors are vey unique and flavorful. Thank you Mark

Some mini history.
In a past video somebody disputed the French rule of T&T. However there are a couple things that show their influence here. The location Les Coteaux for one, the use of the tonka bean for two. Tonka beans were highly coveted and used in French and some West African cuisine as a vanilla/cinnamon spice. Speaking of West Africans. bene balls. bene is an old (don't know if it's still currently used) West African word for sesame which is basically what bene balls consist of. sesame seeds.

Corn meal coo coo have a different name on each island it seems. In Jamaica it is simply called Turn Cornmeal. T&T also call dasheen leaves callaloo when it cooked. Callaloo is a different plant in Jamaica, almost like spinach. One thing though we love our peppers. Big up to the T&T people dem and thank you Mark for showing off our afro-caribbean and Indian cuisine.

When David Hoffman from Davidbeenhere was here, the afro Trinis complained that the indo Trinis culture was being featured too much on his series. Now Mark is here and the same can be said about Afro Trini culture taking front and center while the indo culture is taking a back seat. It's unfortunate that the people who hosted David and Mark had secret agendas.

I don't understand the curry fish with cocoo though. usually it's stew fish! First time I'm seing curried fish with callaloo and thing weird. That had to be a personal choice by the chef. I born and grow in Trinidad and Tobago and I know that is served with stew fish or stew wild meat.
