    Most Trinbagonians eat Pelau at least once a month. Some even eat it every week! At Carnival a range of pelaus (which vary by shade and texture) are seen on the plates of masqueraders and spectators alike. Those who forgo Carnival for the beach and various church camps also cook it. It is a delicious one pot that feeds plenty. So to exclude it is nothing less than unpatriotic .

      Pelau and carnival go together. It is a one pot meal that is easy to cook and carry. Pelau for a beach lime as well. Not including it on the list is puzzling.

They wouldn't hardly understand me but I want to go down there so bad and just eat and drink juices and chill on the beach and fish.
