Back in de day...
I want some of my food; roti with bodie and pumpkin and a real cold coconut water. As I think back to my childhood days I can't help but remember the fish broth on Friday night, the chicken foot split peas soup with oxtail, cow heel, and pigtail ( my mom would take out the pig tail from the pot before my brothers saw it because they don't eat pig). I never understood how they couldn't taste the pigtail in the soup salted pig tail leaves such a blatant taste as well as scent. I miss my food so much I try to recreate them as best as I can but it never quite tastes the same as I remembered it. Today is Friday and I would give anything to stop by the pholourie man and get some pholourie, sahena and ah alloo pie on my way home. I almost forget a doubles with cucumber, tamarind sauce, kuchela and plenty pepper. Once I get home a nice bowl of fish broth made with the famous red fish and some guiness with condensed milk later in the evening. That's what I need today, the comfort food I grew up on more than 20 years ago.
