The characteristic foods eaten in Trinidad and Tobago are a good example of the multicultural society. Spanish influences can be observed in the Creole cooking (like in Pelau) and the Indians introduced exotic spices. The African slaves also left their culinary mark on the cuisine in the highly nutritious yams and dasheen (taro) roots. Chinese food is sold on almost every street corner. Many dishes include fish – not surprising, since it’s an island. How about Bake and Shark? This typical Tobago dish is… a shark sandwich! Trinidad and Tobago have more than enough restaurants, cafés, and bars where you can enjoy the local cuisine. Here are a few addresses to try out for some great food:
