I'm not a Caribbean but I lived in Trinidad for a year. I loved it. For the most part I lived in Sangre Grande but throughout the year travelled all over the island and to Tobago.


I miss my Trinidad friends and I miss eating "doubles".

I'm from Trini living in the cold (most of my life)! My mother lives in Barataria - the family is from Couva which I LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I was home this past june. Miss it! why?
Doubles for tea breakfast and dinner! Love it!

Sweet- this is very nice...

WOW! I'm impressed! THanx for the post!

THanx CC.

Hi! My name's Marie and I'm from the beautiful Caribbean island of ---Puerto Rico!!

That was my pageant voice. I just felt I had to announce myself that way! This is the first time I see your post. Actually, I've been on CC for a few months now, but I feel that it's not enough. There are still things that I don't know how to do, I still haven't uploaded pics and I never seem to have enough time to do all that I want! All this from an already confirmed addict!

See you around, neighbor!

Marie

hi iam also from trinidad i also miss hot doubles but i am happy you are here

Hi, hello! I am not from the Caribbean per se, but my parents are, and my spouse is from Trinidad, so that makes me Caribbean by proxy
Nice to see there are a few fellow West Indians on board. I am new to CC, but totally addicted!

Welcome!
It's a fun place Just like SWEET Trini -

I too am from Trini, Cocoyea in San Fernando to be exact. I just went home in September for a few days, and am longing to go back!

The hot doubles for breakfast and Eat it! for lunch, nothing like it! I grew up here in the States though. I was born there and visit as frequently as my bank account allows!

Bienvenidas a Cake Central. I was born in New Jersey my parents are from La Isla del Encanto (Puerto Rico).. Agian...Welcome

hi there! my grandfather is from jamaica....can i get in on this as well

Hello, there. I am from the Caribbean as well, Puerto Rico, but have been living in Florida for a long time.

But here I am..... Caribbean still...

Can any of you natives make doubles and have a good recipe to share?

I can not tell you how many I ate during the year I lived in Trinidad. My native friends would tell me don't buy from here or don't buy from there you're liable to get sick...but I bought wherever I could get doubles...never got sick....loved those things. I tried once to make them here but didn't have a recipe and they didn't taste anything like the ones in Trinidad!

have you tried going to a caribbean store? I know that they sell the mixes, i've made the pholourie before and it was good. I don't have a recipe right now, but I could check when I get home. I have a Trini cookbook that my mom bought for me from her old secondary school there. it is a GREAT book and has recipes for everything in it!

When I go to one of the cities I'll have to look for a specialized store. I live out in the country...about an hour from speciality grocery stores. That's a good idea to check there!

Is your cookbook pink, by chance?

Hi, I'm Sandra from Barbados.

I posted a message last week asking about a Caribbean Cake club. Wouldnt be cool if we could all meet up maybe once a year?

Anyone else from Bim?

Hey guys, just wondering...what are doubles? Whatever it is it sure seems quite delicious.

Yes, please tell us what is doubles, what is Eat It, and would you like my address to send me the leftovers? I love Caribbean food, as long as you keep the Scotch Bonnets out. I just can't do them anymore - old age, you know.

Let's hear it for Black Cake -- Yayyyy!!
