Ohhh you’ve got to try doubles if you ever make it to Trinidad and Tobago! They’re these amazing handheld street food snacks made with curried chickpeas (called channa) tucked between two fluffy pieces of fried dough called bara. It’s messy in the best way and absolutely bursting with flavor.
You can dress them up with tamarind sauce, pepper sauce, or even a little cucumber chutney if you want to cool it down. Locals eat them for breakfast, lunch, after parties, basically anytime. I still dream about the ones I had from a roadside vendor just outside Port of Spain.
Trinidad and Tobago easily ranks as the best Caribbean island for foodies, especially if you love bold, spicy, fusion flavors. The mix of Indian, African, and Creole influences really makes the food scene something special.
