    Yachties do discover our central.mkt vibes and enjoy it as world travellers...i was just surpised that given u are aussie u fiund it so inspiring witj quality farm to table litetally expereinces.
    We trinis often take these for granted so its nice to remind us how lucky we are in many respects..
    Trinidad west coast chaguramas is well knowm safe spot for glibal yachties during carubbean hurricane season...as we are out of the hurricane belt
    Nice to know yachties still supporting our indigenous economy.❤

    • @travelsketch
      @travelsketch  Год назад +1

      The market is a big hit with yachties and has developed a reputation as one of the best places to shop! We have smaller butcher stores and farmers markets in Australia, but it's nowhere near the size of the Central Market - most Australians just shop at supermarkets that are the equivalent to Massy or PriceSmart.

    Its the biggest market in the eastern islands and in Trinidad its also a wholesale and retail market with Caribbean Thursdays vendors from Grenada,st Vincent etc comes to trinidad second biggest would be the Chaguanas market in Central Trinidad third would be Trinidad's second City in the south San fernando market fourth may be Arima market or Point Fortin market
    Trinis markets are clean and organized Tobago as well every Boroughs, towns and City has a market

    I have always loved going to the Central market to buy vegetables and other stuff. I sometimes went to the San Juan market to the Tunapuna market. I've been know to go as far as the Chaguanas market. My wife always found that I bought too much! Your video is so enjoyable and I'll be in Trinidad for about 2 weeks mid May 2024. I'll surely look for Jerry's chicken and Jessica. Your video just brought back memories. Thank you so much. Great job.

    • @phantomrio5222
      @phantomrio5222 Год назад

      I have a beef factory. I put the bull, not cow, into one end, start the machine and beef comes out the other end. The good thing is that, if I don't like the beef, i reverse the machine and the bull comes back out at the beginning. And i send it back to the field.
      I don't use cow because for some people, it is their mother. But the bull can't be their father. So I use bull.

    Do they have local milk, pork and lamb? Thank you.

    • @travelsketch
      @travelsketch  Год назад

      There are a couple of pork butchers who go every week. Occasionally there's some local lamb/goat (the beef butchers are the guys to talk to about that), but I've found most lamb in Trinidad is imported from Australia or New Zealand. We do buy the occasional Aussie roast lamb from PriceSmart (similar to Costco). No fresh milk at the market, but I have seen it at the Massy Supermarket. Milk (Fresh & UHT) is one of the items that tends to be more expensive.

      We haven't spent much time in the US but have heard from other cruisers how expensive it has become!

      Talking to people back home prices in Australia have risen too - what I pay for Australian lamb here from somewhere like Blooms Import is pretty much what they're paying in Australia which is crazy when you consider how far it travels to get to Trinidad!
