stop spoiling every ched with your bitching about trinis. not everyone can afford a venez to clean up after them.

i was enjoying the comments here, and then you start to froth.

back to topic... i thought he was one and done with the first video, so i was surprised to see another video and it seems to be a series (i've only seen one video of his before so not familiar with his content)

Soldier every thread needs honesty and you have to learn to take criticism. We cannot have jokeyman tour guides, ok tasting food and hidden traditional cultures. Our cuisine is overly NOT where it was years ago and we should not be entertaining celebrities if we cannot display it correctly. For you to say i am “spoiling” the thread means you are ok with giving the viewers a false image of what T&T is.

Anyways, on topic. As you mentioned River, it would be a great idea. Caura needs to be cleaned and prepared and the locals advised to be on their best behavior. We should be having competitions for who can cook the best traditional river dishes and then inviting our guests so they can taste the true T&T.

The difference in viewership is massive between David and Mark. That extra 9m subscribers makes a world of difference.
David's Trinidad series has one vid over 300k views after 5 months. Most are between 100 - 200k

Marks two vids so far has racked up 800k and 500k views in basically one week.

true eh david did an excellent job no complaints but mark jes has waaaaay more numbers in subs & views so waaaaay more publicity for T&T

judging by only d 2 videos shown so far is like watching a singer remaking d same 2 songs , same lyrics & melody slightly tweaked ... same queens park savannah st james food scene, geewandass doubles - hell no to that pepper soaked diarrhea monstrosity & same aunt doll food, coulda give d man d authentic fig leaf experience that david got ... ... i not a cricket person but that part in d stadium was a nice added touch

i dunno how ppl cud lace their food with so much peppah, makes u wonder if u cud still taste all d other natural flavors when ur mouth on fire like that ....

Very far away. I'm in São Paulo. Gotta take two flights if I want to go to Paramaribo. At least there's a Jamaican restaurant to sort of scratch the Caribbean food itch. A pretty damn good one too. I'll always admire that Jamaicans can just go fearlessly to places and just do their thing.

If a Trini comes here with a roti shop, they will make a killing. Brazilians love new things, especially food. I cooked things for folks here and people went wild.

[pugboy]

you now realize this, doubles and doubles and pies and channa and pepper and roti on chulhah and more pepper and more doubles

they need to explore some more areas of food

YT videos is a good tv series\movie in that u wont get all d substance right away but hadda be patient while d storyline gradually builds up

iirc david had about 15 videos all well done so even though mark have more crowd on his channel he still have to really come good .... i hear mark was by uncle clyde so that shud be a good 1 coming up

some tomatoes and dasheen with coconut chutney

not everything hadda be rich rich

[Rovin]

sada roti & any kind of talkary even butter n cheese in it is a bess simple meal ...

[pugboy]

they coulda take them for roast fish/lobster as a good scenic

[Rovin]

d 1st episode in d QPS had d roast fish lady but i guess u mean mayaro or by other seaside vendors

a good beach\river pelau, broff, soup, bbq etc besides d usual currying cud work too ...

[timelapse]

[pugboy]

if them fellas was smart they would leverage the cricket aspect and try and get some t20 players to make an appearance

[Rovin]

Mark eat a Geewandass pepper doubles normal normal. Man must have burned out his heat receptors a long time ago.

Pepper at that level seems to be like salt and black pepper to cuisine in South East Asia.
Looking at this squid dish and ppl here go bawl and suffer for two days and nights with that.

Mark Wiens owns this restaurant in that link in Bangkok. lol I would have to choose number 2 on their menu scale, Very Less Spicy.

Will never understand trini food ppl and their need to take vloggers on the ave to eat a basic oily, unhealthy gyro and call that some kinda culinary experience.

To each his own I guess.

[pugboy]

and the reality is these international vloggers would have eaten a real gyro in the middle east made with proper meat
not the luncheon meat junk they using on the streets here

So much else we have to offer, but the cliched Avenue and Maracas will always be pushed.
No river lime duck
No chulha sada and punkin/caraillie/ochro/fry aloo/patchoi/bhagi etc.
No Mayaro dirt oven bread/pastries
No Mayaro/Manzan roast fish
No Nagar pepper roti

[SMc]

I cant blame them and see nothing wrong with it- these channels/shows are about what is available in the country they are visiting. They may have had gyros in the middle east or curry in India but they won't be the same as they are here and that's it what they are showcasing.

You think even in Thailand that Mark would only eat Gai Yang in one place and no other because he done eat that?

[pugboy]

I have been saying this for years

this notion of TT food being doubles and shark and bake needs to stop
but you know we all suffer from hammer and nail syndrome
