Ilanga kunye Nokutya kwiBhankane eLwandle oludume kakhulu kwiTrinidad
Ngethuba lokutyelela kwiCarnival eTrinidad , iinqwelo zethu - kule ngqayi i-mini-ibhasi yaqalisa ukuphuma kwidolophu yasePort yaseSpeyin. Ngaphambi kwexesha elide, ezinye zeendawo ezintle kakhulu kwiindawo zaseCaribbean zaqala ukubonakala. Iintaba kunye nolwandle olungezantsi luvela njengoko saqala ukunyuka, kwaye imilomo yethu yayisele isele. Endleleni yethu, saphathwa kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zokujonga, apho abahambi banokukrazula imoto yabo ukuze bathathe indawo evelelekayo ukusuka ezintabeni zephondo ukuya emanzini aseLwandle lwaseCaribbean ngaphantsi.
Kule ndawo, indawo ekhangayo kakhulu, eyaziwa ngabanye ngokuthi "iMarcacas Lookout," iphindwe ngokuphindaphindiweyo njenge "candy stand," yeentlobo, ukukhonza ukuphathwa kwendawo njengomango omnyama obomvu, umlimi, kunye nezinye iziqhamo ezivela kubathengisi, njengoko kunye nezintandokazi zabantwana ezifana neebhanki ze-gummy kunye neentlanzi ezibomvu. Thina sasiyithanda "iTrans," kodwa mna, ndathengiswa ngeconcoti, eqinisweni, kwikhokhonati yangingqi.
Emva kokuyeka ukuwanelisa i-sweettooths zethu, saqhubeka nendlela yethu. Indawo esiya kuyo, malunga neyure ukusuka ePort yaseSpain, yayinguLwandle lwaseMaracas , eyaziwa kakhulu kwiiLwandle eziNxweme ze-Trinidad ezimbalwa kunye naphakathi kwayo. Lapha, kwizinto ezibhekwa njengenye yeelwandle ezinqabileyo kwiTrinidad, iindwendwe ziya kufumana amanqaku ahloniphekileyo athengisa ukunyanga okunyanzekileyo: I-Shark kunye ne-Bake (okanye iBake kunye ne-Shark okanye i-Shark n Bake, ukuba ukhetha).
Igama linemiba ehlukeneyo, kodwa iziphumo zifana kakhulu - i-filet ye-flakey, imhlophe, i-batter-dipped, inyama ebusiki enokwakheka ebunzulu, ebanjwe ebhodini elithambileyo kodwa elincinci elibangela ukuba abafundi be-diners benze i-cartoon- kufana neengcambu zokuzonwabisa okwexesha elide - kwaye ngaphambi kokuba i-condiments yongezwe, xa izinto ziqala ukukhetha.
I-Bake kunye ne-Shark isitya se-Trinidadian yendabuko, kunye ne "bake" ebhekisela kwisonka - "bhaka" - yinto exubileyo, egcotyiweyo, esetyenziswe njengebhanki engaphantsi okanye njengengubo yokuloba intlanzi ngaphambi kokuba ityiwe (kuxhomekeke kukuphi i-shack oye wanquma ukuya kuyo).
Ngethuba lethu lokutya, sakhetha uRichard Bake & Shark, esenza ngokukhawuleza i-sandwiches etypicing hot and then left to individuals to add thempings - all kinds of dressings, and tomatoes, pepper, ukhukhamba kunye ne-phayinapple.
Nangona kunjalo, ii-condiments ngezinye iimeko ziyahlukahluka kwaye ngokunjalo amaxabiso - ngomhla wokuba sisekho, i-sandwiches yayingama-$ 8 nganye; ngezinye iintsuku, zingathengiswa nge-20. Akunjalo ukuba intlawulo kufuneka ikukhusele ekuzame ukuxhamla kwesi siqithi, kodwa lungele uchithe ngaphezulu okanye ukwahlule ukubhaka xa uhamba ngohlahlo lwabiwo-mali.
Emva kokutya kwethu, sasihlamba i-Trinidad kunye ne-Trinidad enye: iibhotile ze-Angostura's Lemon Lime & Bitters, isiphuzo esithambileyo esenziwe ngabantu abenza i-Angostura Bitters, umxube ofihlakeleyo we-Trini iziqholo eziye zanelisekile abalandeli be- cocktail iminyaka (bacinge Old Fashioneds). Kodwa abantwana beeminyaka yonke banokuyonwabela esi siphuzo esiphuculisayo, kunye nosuku olushushu olushushu lweTrinidadi, yindlela epheleleyo yokupholisa.
I-Maracas Beach apho iTrinis kunye neendwendwe ziza kudibana, ziphumle kwaye zibambe imibala, ngokukodwa xa ingoma yokugcina ye-soca iphela kwaye iMas uLwesithathu ijika ibe ngu-Ash ngoLwesithathu. Ingcebo yeTrinidad yangempela, kwaye akukho ntlawulo yokungena. Yiza kwiBake kunye neShark, hlala ilanga nelwandle. Kunzima ukuhamba kakubi kwiBarcacas Beach.
