Which West Indian country do you think has the best food?

[UberEatsDriver]

I also want to try East African. Ethiopian restaurants are all over Manhattan, interestingly

Yea but DC and Silver Spring is East African GOAT world.

You can get some of this shyt in other islands but Barbados has the best overall food IMO, Jamaica way up there too.

Give me Jamaican and banana food the rest of my life and I’m good.

The only right answer is Trinidad, good mix of Indian/African cooking there are no other answers Grenada/ Guyana has very similar cooking to trinis

Jamaican food is just bland and it's the got to answer for people who have never been to the Carribbean

Oh you from the west indies ? what part of Jamaica,

all said in the most generic Carribbean accent

Low key, Puerto Rican food is A1.

When I would go visit st.croix, always had to stop at the pr restaurant, Zennys.

 

[Perfectson]

It's Jamaica and then Trini

Can't any island make better fish then Jamaicans

Horn of Africa food is overrated IMO

Man yall need to go to other islands.

 

[PerrinN]

Of course the Coli contrarians out in full force

There’s only one answer to this.

at saying Haiti and Trinidad

Montserratian food is my favourite

 

[Perfectson]

Man yall need to go to other islands.

happy to have a discussion. I've eaten alot of caribbean foods and been to the actual islands, but I'm not Anthony Bordain either.

But I can bounce between eschovitz, brown stew, Roti, and aloo and be happy the rest of my life. Not even throwing Ackee and Saltfish in yet. I do know Jamaicans are typically the cleanest too when it comes to food, they don't play with that shyt.

i've heard good things about Puerto Rican food

 

[Perfectson]

I get the impression that DR food is better where you at tho I had some weak ass mangu and tres golpes down here.

Nobody in the Caribbean makes fish like Zoes tho quote me on that nikka ate the fried eyeballs and errythang

Haiti for fish?


I've been to some Haitian spots and the fish is not on point...they must have taken their fish lessons from the french


- look at this fish, it's terrible


- look at jamaican brown stew, look at that sauce . You can pour that in a glass and drink it for lunch.


Nothing again haitian food but I'm never getting fish from Haitian spots, ever!

Yea but DC and Silver Spring is East African GOAT world.

man does those East African women in DC be messing with brothas? I pulled 2 in my life, one in ATL and the other in Addis. I see them on IG and be ready to slide in the DMs
but yeah, they have one Ethiopian spot in MIami and i love that spot.
