Trinidadian cuisine has evolved from a blend of West African, Indian, Chinese and European cooking styles. This meal balances a hearty Trinidadian sweet potato and chickpea curry with tangy tamarind chutney, tomato choka and sweet mango chow. Chokas are a dip made by mixing spiced onions and fried garlic into chargrilled vegetables (typically tomatoes). Chows are a popular Trinidadian street food made by seasoning fruit with plenty of salt, garlic, lime and fresh herbs, and on the side are 'chipped up' (chopped up) saheena (crunchy cabbage fritters) and a fiery Trini hot pepper sauce.

Super colourful! Gave 4 as am afraid the pepper sauce was just too hot for me! Accompanied by the refreshing free sample, sumac lemonade

This looks like an amazing and beautifully vibrant spread, Iain - great job! Sorry to hear that the pepper sauce was a little too fiery for you, but hopefully the sumac lemonade did a good job of cooling your mouth down!
