Haitian food is pretty good. RIP to "pops" used to make the black rice, and that goat or stew chicken for me every west indian parade along with the crabs, yum.

I thought curry chicken back was a gourmet meal where I'm from... Country boy from May Pen. From fried egg to bulla and pear I thought was the shyt. I was cutting the necks of goats and chicken by 5 yrs old. Manish wata is my favorite soup, stew peas, steam fish with okara, cool food etc and dem ting deh. Yum

Each island has its gems
Jamaica has the jerk spice sorted
Trinidad for the Indian curry influences
Barbados, Bahamas, Aruba and St. Lucia have amazing fried fish.
Bahamas for other seafood and conch as well.
Guyana has the indian influences as well, but for me the Trinis flavour better.
Every Caribbean island I have been to gives you a good plate of food. The seasoning is always on point.

No one is taking any meat out of the fridge to cook with just salt. That meat has to marinate in spices overnight at the very least.

At home now.
Yeah the food here is the best .
Cause its based on the diverse cultures that melted into one

Depends if they grew up around them. I remember a Puerto Rican girl a long long time ago who went to a Trini spot run by the Indian trinis and she said she was sick for a week.

She must have went to a bad spot cause I feel good eating Trini food.

I hardly see any Hispanics at the Jamaican and Trinidadian restaurants in Baldwin. I would see the same of Queens too, but the black and Hispanic neighborhoods aren't integrated there like they are in The Bronx (besides Jamaica and Far Rock).

I know many Hispanics in the Bronx who live in eastern and northern portion of the borough who eat at Jamaican spots.

But overall Hispanics stick to their food just like West Indians.

Yeah that's where I would expect the most of that. But I doubt Hispanics (especially non Caribbeans) in Bushwick, Sunset Park, Corona, etc. are messing with West Indian food that much , and some of the ones I've talked to have never even tried Jamaican food.

And yeah, that's true. Asians can be like that too. Me, I eat everything. May as well take advantage of having the cuisines of several dozen countries, plus many American cuisines within one city. I still want to try West African food and I'm gonna do that soon.
