During the period of slavery salted fish became a part of the slave’s diet. Today, salted cod fish is no longer inexpensive or easily available. However, it remains an important part of Bajan cuisine and salted cod fish cakes are readily available.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Mango Chow</strong>. Trinidadians love mango chow and I am no different. This simple appetizer is great during hot evenings, with good company. It is seasoned green or half ripe mango with a little pepper (no cooking is required).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*You can also use other fruits, the second picture is pineapple used as a substitute.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Toolum</strong>. In the early part of the twentieth century, sweet
vendors would pound the streets of towns and villages in T&T, selling
candies by means of a spinning wheel. For a penny, a customer spun the wheel and
received the number candies indicated when the wheel stopped--up to fifty.
Toolum, one of the earliest T&T candies, was undoubtedly supplied by such
vendors.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Callaloo</strong> (sometimes <b>calaloo</b> or <b>kallaloo</b>) is a popular </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean" title="Caribbean"><span style="font-size: large;">Caribbean</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> dish originated from </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Africa" title="West Africa"><span style="font-size: large;">West Africa</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> served in different variants in across the Caribbean. The main ingredient is a </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf_vegetable" title="Leaf vegetable"><span style="font-size: large;">leaf vegetable</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">, traditionally either </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth" title="Amaranth"><span style="font-size: large;">amaranth</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> (known by many local names including callaloo or bhaaji), </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro" title="Taro"><span style="font-size: large;">taro</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> or <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthosoma" title="Xanthosoma">Xanthosoma</a></i>. Both are known by many names including callaloo, coco, tannia, bhaaji, or dasheen bush. Because the leaf vegetable used in some regions may be locally called "callaloo" or "callaloo bush", some confusion can arise among the different vegetables and with the dish itself. Outside of the Caribbean, </span><a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_spinach" title="Water spinach"><span style="font-size: large;">water spinach</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> is occasionally used. Trinidadians primarily use taro/dasheen bush for callaloo, while Jamaicans and Guyanese use the name <b>callaloo</b> to refer to amaranth, and use it in a plethora of dishes and also a drink ('callaloo juice'). It should be understood that the 'callaloo' made in Jamaica is different from the 'callaloo' made in Trinidad and Tobago in terms of main ingredient (the leaf used) and other ingredients included (for example, Jamaicans tend to use only callaloo leaf, salt, onions, escallion and simply steam the vegetable, while Trinidadians use okra and coconut milk to make an entirely different dish with a different taste and consistency).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Jamaican Festival</strong> slightly sweet cornmeal fried ‘dumplings’, they are traditionally served alongside spicy meat dishes, such as Jamaica’s infamous ‘jerk’. The sweetness offsets the meat, pepper and spices most sublimely, and the doughy texture is ideal for soaking up gravy and sauces.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Bake and Shark</strong> is a very popular street food sold in Trinidad and Tobago. It is one of those must-try items for visitors to the twin-island Republic and for locals, a week without eating Bake and Shark would just seem unnatural.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Bake refers to </span><a href="http://latinfood.about.com/od/rice-recipes/r/fried-bakes-recipe.htm"><span style="font-size: large;">fried dough</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. It is a dough made of all purpose flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt, a little grease (preferably butter) and brought together with water. Once rested, the dough is then divided into 3-inch balls, rolled into flat discs and fried until it puffs up. The inside of the bake is hallow and therefore, it is the perfect vehicle for stuffing or sandwiching things.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Shark is shark. Well, not the huge ones we see in movies and on television, these are much smaller shark. They are skinned, deboned, and sold filleted. The shark is seasoned with </span><a href="http://latinfood.about.com/od/seasoningmarinade/r/Green-Seasoning.htm" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">green seasoning</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">, along with salt and pepper, breaded and pan fried.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackee" title="Ackee"><span style="font-size: large;">ackee</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> fruit was imported to Jamaica from West Africa (probably on a slave ship) before 1778. It is also known as <i><a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blighia_sapida" title="Blighia sapida">blighia sapida</a></i>. The scientific name honours </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Bligh" title="William Bligh"><span style="font-size: large;">Captain William Bligh</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> who took the fruit from Jamaica to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, England in 1793 and introduced it to science.

In Asia 'roti' means what West Indians would call 'roti skins.' Roti also features prominently in the diet of many West Indian countries, especially </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinidad_and_Tobago" title="Trinidad and Tobago"><span style="font-size: large;">Trinidad and Tobago</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">, </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guyana" title="Guyana"><span style="font-size: large;">Guyana</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> and </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suriname" title="Suriname"><span style="font-size: large;">Suriname</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. West Indian roti are primarily made from wheat flour, baking powder, </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt" title="Salt"><span style="font-size: large;">salt</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">, and water and cooked on a </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tava" title="Tava"><span style="font-size: large;">tava</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">.</span><br />
