    Back in March of 2022, I spent a week and a half traveling around the islands of Trinidad and Tobago with my good friend (and local celebrity chef) Jason Peru, celebrity hairstylist Candice Mohan, and local food expert David.
    Together, we started in the capital city, Port of Spain, where I got my first taste of local doubles on the island of Trinidad! From there, we explored more of the island, from Santa Cruz and Maracas Beach in the north to Chaguanas and Siparia further south.

    Along the way, I tried dozens of unique Trinidadian foods, including saheena, pholourie, pommecythere, baigan choka, bake and shark, aloo pies, hops bread, curry armadillo, curry iguana, and much more!
    From there, we hopped a short flight to Tobago, where I tried some incredible fried chicken, as well as steamed bhaji, smoked herring, saltfish buljol, coconut bake, fried shark, jack fish, curry crab and dumplings, and even lionfish (which I speared and caught myself)!
    It was a fantastic whirlwind trip that gave me an even greater appreciation of Caribbean cuisine and culture, and one I hope gave you more insight into this beautiful part of the world.
    In this video, I’ve compiled every dish I tried in Trinidad and Tobago into one massive video. I hope it whets your appetite and inspires you to try these foods and visit the islands yourself!
    And if you’re from Trinidad and Tobago, or have tried the food before, what’s your favorite Trinibagoan dish? Tell me in the comments below and let’s chat!

      No...Mark Weins did better videos on T&T, no substance to these videos just eating sounds " yummy, hmmmm and delicious", like filler words, when you don't know what to say.
      No such in depth history of where the food came originally. Its more like a Mukbang.

    Good morning David: thank you for highlighting your trip to Trinidad and Tobago and the foods of both islands. You make this ex-pat miss all that delicious street food, especially the eggplant baiganee - my favorite - after the doubles. I loved the doubles run from west to east on your last day in Trinidad, ending up at the airport. You always make food look and taste delicious, no matter what it is. A lot of "oh wow", "mmm" and "the best" show how much you appreciate Trini food. So happy you enjoyed Trinidad and Tobago and what the twin islands have to offer. You are now one of us, Trini to the bone 🤗🤗🤗. Once again, thank you. Have a great Sunday, and may the good Lord bless you and keep you and your family in good health. Be well and be safe.❤️🙏🕊️🇹🇹🇨🇦

      Most of the food dishes are seasoned with lots of local fresh herbs and spices which make those dishes very delicious and even more so when the condiments and local sauces are added. In Trinidad and Tobago our foods are not seasoned with just salt and ground black pepper. Some of these street foods may not taste as delicious at all vendors but I am guessing that the ones David visited would have been vetted to ensure their tastiness before he was taken there.
