Trinidad and Tobago have a mouth watering cuisine which is a nice blend of American Indian, European, African, Creole, Indian, Chinese and Lebanese foods. Their main meals are breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some of their favorite breakfast dishes are sada roti which is a type of Indian bread with bodi made of cowpeas, fried potato, roasted eggplant, tomato choka which they eat with the rotis and different types of bread and fish. They also have black pudding with home-made coconut bread, fish fritters and fish cakes with lots of onions and tomatoes.
Lunch is a heavier affair with curry chicken and roti which is the national dish. This too has Indian origins along with crab curry, shrimp curry, duck curry and potato curry. These curries are served with different types of baked breads. Callaloo, a creamy spicy side dish made of dasheen leaves, ochro or okra, crab, thyme, coconut milk and shado beni is of African origin and is a big favorite. The Trinidad and Tobago cuisine is a reflection of the Trinidad and Tobago culture and the Trinidad and Tobago people who are a blend of different races and cultures. The Trinidad and Tobago weather is always warm and it is a great place to visit all year around.
