There seem to be many opinions about what the national food of Trinidad is because of the diverse population of different cultures in the country.  This is a nice way of saying “ask six people and you’ll get six different answers.”  Many people think that Roti is the answer.  It is a thin flatbread with ground chickpeas, and you fill it with chicken, goat, or beef and then pour on the hot sauce.  This is an East Indian dish.  However, curried crab and dumplings is also very popular with the people of Trinidad.  In Port of Spain the locals love shark and bake for breakfast.  It is deep fried shark or shrimp and it’s covered with mangos and tomatoes, and then covered with sauces made with hot peppers, garlic or oysters.  All of these blends of healthy foods and interesting sauces are just a few of the great foods you will find in Trinidad.

I wonder what it looks like
