PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO - Welcome to Port of Spain, the Capital of Trinidad and Tobago islands in the Caribbean! I’m so excited to finally be here. So many of you have written to me over the years inviting me to visit for the amazing food and culture, so it’s really an honor to finally be here and to explore the incredible food. Let’s get started eating, we’re jumping straight into a massive 20 hour day of eating local street food!
Huge thank you to #visitTrinidad for inviting me to Trinidad and Tobago and for making this trip happen!
Friends in the video:
Zaak (Foodie Tales with Zaak): / foodietaleswithzaak
Baidawi (Eatahfood): / eatahfoodtt
David (D’Market Movers): / dmarketmovers
Brent (Hungry Belly 868): / hungrybelly868
And here’s everything we did in the video, and all the food we ate:
Central Market - We started off today at the Central Market in Port of Spain, bright and early in the morning before 7 am. And with Baidawi and David, who go to the market every weekend to do their shopping and have breakfast, we were in the right hands. After exploring the market and the amazing produce and ingredients that go into food in Trinidad and Tobago we then headed to the food court for some local fish broth and cow heel soup.
EatAhFood - Baidawi makes fantastic food videos, especially recipes, and so we bought ingredients and headed back to his house to cook Callaloo, an Afro Caribbean food of simmered down taro leaves and pumpkin and coconut milk. It was so good!
Roti - One of the greatest of all Trinidadian foods is roti - different from anywhere else. The rotis are huge and fresh and then stuffed with pumpkin, potato, and curry of your choice. An afternoon bulging roti with Zaak, was absolutely delicious.
Queens Park Savannah - Port of Spain - To continue on with this street food tour in Trinidad and Tobago, we went to Queens Park Savannah for a coconut and then continued on to the evening street food market to sample a bunch of different local foods - everything from doubles to pholourie and roast fish.
Yousef Gyro (goo.gl/maps/vJkVQL9S5zMSSnGw5) - Trinidad and Tobago is so diverse and there’s even a local Middle Eastern population including Yousef Gyro, owned by descendants of Syrian immigrants. They make all sorts of wraps and gyros and combinations you won’t find anywhere else. This is the ultimate late night food in Trinidad!
Dass Doubles Factory (goo.gl/maps/X6yvzWiQi9WscWdc6) - We did have a quick doubles at the street food night market, but we went to Dass Doubles Factory for the real deal late night doubles. They made the barras fresh and load them up with heavy peppa sauce and delicious curry chickpeas.
Hadco Phase II Pan Groove Orchestra Pan Yard ( / hadcophase2pangroove ) - Finally to complete this day we were treated to a panyard lime to see the ultimate instrument of Trinidad and Tobago - steel pan! It was so cool to see and an amazing way to wrap up this ultimate street food tour - and they have delicious food!
Again, thank you to everyone who made this video possible and to #visitTrinidad!

I like that Mark is half German American, half Chinese American, grew up in Africa, lives in Thailand, married to a Thai woman, speaks several languages and travels the world. Automatically nothing shocks him and he can literally go anywhere on Earth and feel comfortable because of his diverse upbringing.

@@shweetypumpkin3509 Nah, Chinese American from Hawaii. He mentioned it before.
This is part of his charm......Comfortable in his skin anywhere and everywhere on this beautiful planet......The man is simply blessed.
@@glenoneill3950 well I wonder why brown people can't travel everywhere in our skin and enjoy🤔...why??? We can't even mention nothing about our history or who we really are why??? 🤷🏿
@@truebeliever8320 ENJOYING LIFE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ONE'S SKIN COLOR.
As a Trinidadian, it made me proud to see my country showcased like this! Thanks so much for the love...next time you should come visit for Christmas!
So true
Hi emily. Thanks for the wonderful comment...
Like you want Mark to apply for citizenship o'wah 🤣🤣🤣
@@MrWes1910 he just might if he tastes our Trini Christmas food! 😂
Yes you need to visit for Christmas..it’s different Factz
Mark does not have a tiny bit of racism in him. He just loves the entire world and all people.
💯‼️
What makes you mention that tho?
So True!!
The other guy I can't remember his name American dude with a bandana on his seems alot racist and not genuine
@@adammagembe7644
Maybe his job, isn't his thing?
You can't mess with the Trinis when it comes to food. Love 🇬🇾 🇺🇸 🇹🇹
great food fresh ingraident .
@thecolorfulvideocast
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Twsuf1say you're a Jamaican without saying it. All yall food came from the Indians and Africans but yall swear yall the best ever. Just shut up and let Trinidad have their moment man. Yall too damn troublesome! That's coming from a Bahamian.🇧🇸 Much love to Trini🇹🇹👌🏽🙏💪🏾
yesss food looks soooooo yummy and I bet it's just as tasty!!!
Trinidad and Tobago seem to have the most varieties of food in the Caribbean. Great influence from Africa, Indian and others
It’s one of the most diverse islands in the Caribbean so we have a variety everything with our spin on the food🇹🇹thank you
You are correct. There’s virtually a little of everything here lol. There’s Indian, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, West African, Latin American, Cantonese etc etc. It’s quite literally a foodie’s dream. Where diversity is concerned, we truly are blessed.
In Antigua also

Grew up in Kenya in the late 70's and 80's and first got fascinated by Trinidad and Tobago when I watched the Carnival on T.V and without knowing what a bucket list was at the time, decided that I will one day make a trip to this country. This video has ignited my dream of visiting. God willing next year.
we'll be so happy to have you! smile 😊
@@eliling9841 Thank you.
as a person that was bord an raised in Trinidad i welcome you with open arm to my country and i'm sure other Trinidadians will to😋
Kenyan here planning the same soon. See you there
254 hoiyee
I'm a fellow Jamaican, and after watching this beauty, Planning my trip to Trinidad and Tobago is now a part of my to-do list.
Can I go with you?
Same here I will be visiting as well .definitely on my list of to go places
MeToo!
@thecolorfulvideocast
As a Jamaican I’ve always been fascinated with trini food and wanted to try it
My college age Jewish neighbor went there and he ate so many doubles he came back with a Trinidad accent 😂
That could be because it reminded him of Jewish cuisine....
🤣 you silly
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅😅😅😊😊
As a Trinidadian person lol 🤣
I'm four and a half minutes in and I get the feeling that the whole nation has been patiently waiting for your visit. And their time to shine has finally come!
Realll
Too patiently 😂
A fact... we love Mark down here. Welcome to sweet TnT 🇹🇹🏝
Yes... You know how long i waiting for this video to upload been watching mark videos for years patiently waiting for his visit to TNT
@@racqueldiamond Me too LOL!! I discovered Mark's channel a few years ago & I've been waiting forever for him to visit Trinidad & Tobago. FINALLY!!!
As a Jamaican, I went to Trinidad for the first time in 2020 for carnival.... the food court at the airport was so good everything I had in Trinidad was so good
I am Dominican and love to cook. Whats cool about Caribbean islands is that we all have the same food but each have different dishes and yet similar and all so amazing I can't wait to try this and other Caribbean dishes!
It's the entire African diaspora. It's all the same because it all came from the same place just different resources based on where the slave ship dropped folks.
Tru Facts 🥰
Trinidad and Tobago are now officially on my bucket list for travel. What a beautiful country and lovely people!! God bless you all 🙂
You will get addicted to the people, culture and if you go for Carnival, then it's over for you. You will not get enough
thank you i suggest to go to kfc first then to abrahams barbaque
Just make sure if you going east Trinidad to stay safe
no stay away not worth it
Am a Trini and I can safely say you have to be very careful. Be sure to stay in the company of other Trinis ..who vex loss..d truth is d truth!!!
Im from Kenya. Surprised to see so many similar dishes. Caribbean and Africa is so connected
Of course! Some of ancestors came from Africa, so naturally we eat the same food.
Yes we are.most of us are descendants from Africa hope you visit soon
Don't forget the thread in between....curry 😋🙏
Yes!
That's because Kenya has similar cultural influences like Trinidad. A mix of Indian and African culture. Indians migrated to Kenya as indentured servants just like they did in Trinidad to work for the British colonial government.
I lived in Trinidad for a year. Port of Spain, Diego Martin, and Couva. Was the happiest time of my life. I bought a Tennor Steel Pan. The people are so fun and work hard. I want to go back for Carnival. And play some cricket with the people.
Thank you❤❤❤❤🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
I am a Trinidadian living in Trinidad and I loved this video!! Thank you for showcasing all our great foods and focusing on the lovely people who make up my country.
HeardTrinidad is a great place I wanna visit❤
Proud Trini watching, enjoying and craving these delicious & fresh multicultural foods! Thanks for showcasing our country! I live for Mark’s oh, oh ya’s, oh wow’s & ummmms🇹🇹🥰😍 For those of you not familiar with Trini Foods mentioned on this video: baiganee(eggplant pie), fish brof(fish broth), cow heel soup with split peas, callaloo with scorpion pepper sauce, dosti roti with curry aloo, pumpkin talkarie, curry beef, fresh coconut water and jelly, doubles(channa and bara with chutneys/condiments), corn soup, chicken foot souse, cow heel souse, beef soup, geera pork/chicken, fresh soursop juice, pholourie with boiled mango chutney, roast fish, Italian shrimp, gyro, aloo pie, roast pepper sauce, pepper sauce, cucumber chutney, tamarind chutney, chicken pelau, saltfish accra, That’s a lot of food! What did I miss? Anyone check on Mark the next day with all that food and peppah!! 😂
Oh...STOP IT Rita...you making me hungry. I love your shows too : ))
@@pat8497 Thanks😂🥰
Heyyyyyy.. Learned to make buss up shot properly on your channel. Thank you!
😂 lots of “peppah” and lots of food - I think you got them all 😂
Trini food looks so amazing and definitely separates itself from the other Caribbean island cuisines. I'm really intrigued by these ethnic dishes
Not gonna lie, Mark ate more pepper in one day than some trinis eat in their entire life. WOW. Mans earned his Trini card oui
If again?! I was shocked, I thought Trinis could handle pepper, I thought I was good, but recently I visited my friends from Mexico, and they fed me a chipotle, form the can and I started crying.
Wayyyssss I thought I was the only one...😭😭 He more trini than me atp
He's Thai I think 🤔 if so . Spice is normal for them
@@jameswatson6 but eating a raw scorpion pepper is crazy!
😂😂😂😂🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
My dad's side of the family is Trini. I have always wanted to visit my family there. I am so glad you enjoyed going there and experiencing their unique culture! Makes me want to visit Trinidad and Tobago even more now 🇹🇹
Come on down nah ❤
Doesn't matter how long you've been away from Trinidad. Once you have lived or visited, you know the food, and this video makes you remember the tastes and smells of Trinidad so well. Awesome.
I am from India and after watching this video i could not help but think about the Indian influence in the food over there!!!! I cannot wait to visit and try the food for myself!!!! Even the names they use for the food are Indian names!! Baigan, aaloo, chanaa,jeera!!!!
That's because our history is intertwined with India. We had indentured labourers from india settling here. So that is part of our culture today
Yup the Indian influence is a big part of the culture. He missed out on the traditional Indian sweets like jalebi, gulab Jamun, Prasad, khurma etc
You would fit right in 🤗🇹🇹
@@jason3064 This is the first video in the series… we don’t know what he tried..
@@shweetypumpkin3509 hmm that's true
Visited Trinidad and Tobago on a work trip and I totally loved it. The genuineness and warmth of the people is just a comforter. Loved and enjoyed my week there. If God allows would love to visit again but this time with no work commitments. Much love from Kenya🇰🇪 to my Trini breddas✊
Much love from Trinidad 🇹🇹
Yeah 🇰🇪

I love how they took mark to the small restaurant and home’s of the cooks and to the street vendors and markets. It really Catch’s the essence of the people and how they prepare food. Beautiful beautiful I love My country has has me smiling so much
Subscribe to the Hiloba channel, it was a very interesting channel
Thank you Mark for finally visiting our beloved country. Glad to know you enjoyed the food.

As a Canadian with both parents born in Trinidad, I was proud to see my country showcased like this. I am 48 and never really been to Trinidad (once when 14). I learned a lot myself and am now motivated to visit my homeland. This was one of the best videos I've ever seen. Much appreciated!
I'm Canadian living here with my husband your country is so amazing and beautiful, Food and culture like no other I'm proud to be here myself and you come home when you can. Hugs from trinidad and tobago
Really appreciate it Barry. Thank you so much for your support and I hope you can visit Trinidad again soon!
People only highlight the bad stuff dude. Thanks to Mark for this visit.
Gotta love my country 🇹🇹🇹🇹❤️
@@tammygallant6004 Much appreciated 🙏🏿
Mark, I messaged you 7 Years ago when your channel was in the initial phases, and I asked you to please visit our beautiful melting pot of an island, Trinidad and Tobago. You said that someday soon you will visit and seeing this made my day and year and I can't wait to keep following your journey.
Thank you once more for showcasing our Trini culture to the rest of the world and on behalf of all the food lovers, happy eating 🍽
7 years is way too long but "better late than never"! 😁
Trinidad is probably one of the best islands to visit for a wide variety of vegan options!
I've been to Trinidad And Tobago. I have also been to one of Gordon Ramsey's restaurants in Las Vegas. I don't lie when I tell you that the street food in Trinidad is better than Gordan Ramsey's food by a mile !!! Also, how cool must it be for Mark to be recognized in most countries he goes to. If he goes to the moon or mars I'll bet some Alien will stop him for an autograph !!!
Mark pronounces Trinidad and Tobago with the accent. glad that you savored our flavor brethren your presence sweetened da pot. Trinidad hospitality is as sweet and diverse as the food. Im sure that you enjoyed the pepper
I love that Mark pronounced almost every single word exactly the way the locals do.
Exactly as a trini i can confirm he was on point such a respectful and intelligent man
Even the way he says trinidad at times.
@@23blasech yes so glad he came here!! :)
@@Megaredronin Mark is a respectful guy. Others, who I will not mention, you can tell do not have this respect.
Lmao right??? The whole time he's saying PEPPAH
Yessss! I was waiting for these videos 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 So happy to see you enjoying sweet T&T, Mark! 🙌🏽
Thank you so much!
Gosh ❤❤
Trinis have the best curry and rotis. So good 💛
This video made Trinidad & Tobago look good for almost 1 hour , loved it and I hope we emit this type of energy towards going into the future. We need more positive and less negative. Let's make Trinidad & Tobago great again for our tourists and citizens. Thank you Mark for showing us the light in these evil times here.
Why evil? Asking genuinely.
@@Lividbuffalo just the atmosphere and events happening in the world really... sometimes it has an effect in our minds and we react and make poor decisions
@@ImStephanMRThis makes no sense at all. What does any of that have anything to do with Trinidad and Tobago?
@@Lividbuffalo when u start thinking you might understand
I'm a Jamaican 🇯🇲 watching and I loved every minute of this video. Trini 🇹🇹 food looks delicious and the variety is amazing... definitely have to try myself. Big up uno self Trinidad! I would love to see you visit the whole Caribbean. Great Video Mark!🔥🔥
Mu ch love back to you my Jamaican peeps. ♥
visiting the entire islands thats an awesome idea!! :)
The Jamaican series he did was wonderful too!
Bless up Yardie! Much love
I have several friends and fam who went to study in T & T, the things they always spoke about were: food and the peeps. Even had a few who stated that they would live there if possible. Felt like home.
My mummy used to watch you everyday on CZcams, she passed away this January gone. She would have loved to see you in our country 🥰
May she rest in peace. This must have given you a touch of joy.
Condolences hun
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THE TRUE TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO MARK!!!! A CERTAIN EMBASSY CLAIMED WE WERE AN UNSAFE COUNTRY BUT ITS NOT SO! Thank you Mark for finally visiting our beloved country. Glad to know you enjoyed the food Trinidad and Tobago are now officially on THE bucket list for travel. A beautiful country and lovely people!! God bless you.

And let the choir say Amen 💞
Not just the embassy though, some unpatriotic Trinis say it too.
Waiwaiwait, nobody ever said it was safe 😅😅😅
@debikala 99% so called Indian Trinidadians. Never creole.
Their street/market foods are impressively clean and hygienically prepared. I’d love to go there.
I noticed this as well. They are very clean
@@godsavethequeen2798 we don't mix matters with cleanliness
Lol we Caribbean people don't play about clean food prep
From a Senegalese living in Germany. This video reminds me of my trip to T&T 🇹🇹❤️. I miss those doubles so much, Sunday schools in Tobago and their good energy ❤️. I was treated with so much love (like a queen from the motherland) 🥰🥰.
Nothing like Sunday school in Tobago 🇹🇹
Not me, a whole Trini, never having been to Sunday school in Tobago 😩😂
So cool to hear from you, glad this brought back great memories!
I'm a Trinidadian living in Oklahoma. Watching this made me homesick. I miss the food so much. The ingredients are always so fresh. I tried growing dasheen this past summer but it just didn't taste the same. Thanks for highlighting Trinidad and Tobago's unique cuisine. For two small islands, there's a lot to offer food wise.
I live in oklahoma too! Going to this carribean trinidad fusion restaurant in okc hopefully tomorrow to try!
@@herachloe4935 never head of it before but I'll check it out when next I'm in okc. I live about an hour away from okc.
You should watch Chris' show "Caribbeanpot" here on youtube. Your fellow countryman grows a large variety of caribbean plants in his vegetable garden successfully in Toronto, he might be able to give you some tips!
@@carolm6211 yes make sure you check the hours 😆 I went on a Thursday and they were closed. They are only open a few days out of the week. I was craving doubles so bad too
@@herachloe4935 don’t go
As a Trini living abroad that hasn't been home in years, seeing this definitely made me smile and proud!
I love the lady's smile when you ate the eggplant/chickpea "boat"! She was so proud you were enjoying her food! My mouth is watering!!!
i missed that now I will re-watch this for like the 5th time. ONE OF MY TOP 3 MW videos,.
Beautiful welcome to Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 😊 😀 ❤️ 😍 ☺️ 🇹🇹 😊 😀 ❤️ 😍 ☺️ 🇹🇹
Thank you!

I love the confidence lol Love my country
My mouth’s watering as I watch 😅

That callaloo was fire 🔥 with the coconut 🥥 milk 🥛 that chef is skillest
Never thought about visiting T&T until now!!! The food looks soooo comforting and delicious!! I need to go there!
This makes me miss home soooo much. I have to come home soon. Big up Trinidad from 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲
This is what I love love love about being Caribbean! There’s so many cultures mixed together that you just gotta keep eating till yuh belly bus ‼️🤣
I love these people. Thank you for showing your culture and traditions. Def would love to experience for myself & son. ❤
Also love how they sit w each other and enjoy their meals
I must admit. Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 got the most tastiest and the most delicious food in the Caribbean and maybe in the world ❤️🇹🇹❤️🇹🇹❤️
that's one of the main reason National geographic named T&T the cultural capital of the Caribbean
Even our kfc is one of the best in the world 😂
That may be true and yes I would even agree somewhat, but I think Jamaican food is healthier.
@@diaprojectdiss2142 tbh it's is true
@@diaprojectdiss2142 that’s true…our food is very tasty but unhealthy 😅
I'm a South African currently living in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧, I have been reading books about Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 for quite a number of years. The only last thing remaining is for me to visit the islands 🏝. Recently in my work place they've ordered lunch for everyone and the food was "Doubles", yes Trinidadian Doubles in the UK 🇬🇧, I was so fascinated to eat Trinidadian food I've been reading about in books for the very first time in my life. I must say that watching this video just deepens my desire to visit Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹. Thanks for this beautiful vlog Mark. Keep well and keep them coming
❤🇹🇹
Ernest wait till the taste the doubles in Trinidad, it's a totally different experience.
As a teen with parents from Trinidad in the UK, I feel proud to call myself Trini just watching this video. Trinidad is a beautiful island, with the most diverse, beautiful, delicious foods. You cherished the true beauty of the Caribbean and look forward to more videos 🇬🇧🇹🇹 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Have u visited back at all? (I'm similar heh]
He blends into other cultures so well!!
As a proud Trinbagonian I am elated, I am humbled, I am overjoyed all at the same time with this showcase of our unique food and entertainment culture...Mark seemed to have enjoyed himself and portrayed our culture like a true Trini 😂

@@MarkWiens I hope you visited Tobago. There waa some Carnival activities there this weekend but Tobago has their own signature dishes too and go experience their beaches Thank you for the great showcase though.
As a Jamaican I’ve never seen callaloo cooked like that it look similar to a Nigerian dish, hopefully one day I’ll get to try it and see the difference. Much respect trini massive 🇯🇲🇺🇸
We use the entire vegetable. The top are the leaves & the bottom we call dasheen, similar to a Yam.
Its very similar to African callaloos but even better with crab 🦀 😋
@@plenty3494 we put diffent meat in also, crab pigtail salted beef and so forth
The eastern Caribbean make callaloo this way, not only Trinidad; it’s only Jamaica that calls bhagi, callaloo. Trinidadians do make “Jamaican callaloo” but we call it bhagi.
@@gothtrini Jamaicans callaloo is what we call bhagi

This was so amazing to see how beautiful my country is. I love that Mark felt right at home and spoke like we do.can’t wait to go back home and visit.❤
Thx Mark for boosting up my channel and being an vlogger inspiration!
Legend has it that one day Mark will eat a meal so good, he will lean all the way out of the frame.

What a fun episode! Had me dancing, laughing and and sporting a cheesy grin. That band was great~ would be fun to just attempt to play those drums! Thank you!
@@thewolfethatcould8878 that instrument is the steel pan my brother. The only musical instrument invented in the 20th century by a Trinidadian gentleman by the name of Winston Spree Simon.
Tongans 🇹🇴 and other polynesians eat taro leaves too. I didn't know any other cultures eat them as well. The word for it in Tongan is LŪ and we usually stuff it lamb, fish or corned beef (or whatever meat you choose) with creamy coconut milk. That's awesome! Thanks for sharing
Hawaii 🤙🏝️
Nepal and Northeast India😋
We know good food!!!!!
yummyyy
I'm loving how across the world we have so many culinary similarities! Love to you and your country from a proud Trinidadian
I love how they keep it nice and clean. Makes me want to fly over and taste those delicious foods! Yummy!
This food looks exactly like what I want to eat every day...amazing! The influences from Japan, India, Middle East etc mix beautifully with Caribbean produce and cuisine. So hungry now 😄
I was surprised to hear the word "zaboka" for Avocado. That is the Haitian's Creole word for Avocado as well.
We have such a mix of cultures here, I'm glad Mark has allowed everyone to experience our lovely culture that's often overlooked.
Trinidad and Tobago has French influences as well hence, we will say zaboca
Well my friend, if you didnt know, in the late 1700s (1797) when the Spain still controlled Trinidad and was under treat of a british invasion, the Spanish governor (Chacon) invited all the catholic planters from the other islands to come settle with their slaves in Trinidad with a promise of free land. The majority of the caribbean islands at that time were french speaking, so the names and culture were the same. The main language in Trinidad at that period with the influx of those many peoples was french or french patois up until the 1960s. that is why we Trinis also call avocado zaboka. Trinidad and Tobago island home of diverse peoples, culture and languages
@@williams55481 Thanks for sharing
French Creole was one of our first languages. My grandparents spoke it.
Trini living in Paris here. This coverage making me want to book a flight now and go home! Excellent job, thanks for featuring my beautiful country, people and food.
czcams.com/video/JY6QuuRi5ro/video.html Trini style cooking
French people are so opposite Trini people
Man oh man I want to taste all the food in Trinidad and Tobago!!!!!
I COULD NOT live here and be hungry and sad! Wow, I've always wanted to come, and these videos with Mark have made me change plans of going somewhere else 1st. I'm not a foodie, but I gotta come try this food, plus I love soca music, so it's a win-win. Thanks Mark
So happy to see these guys like Zaak, Baidawi, Uncle Clyde I know, giving Mark the best tour he can get. So it's not going to be one-sided. He'll get to experience ALL our culture and not just one. This is amazing. Love this channel.
Thank you very much Trisha, it was an honor to hang out with them and learn about the food of Trinidad and Tobago!
@@MarkWiens
Exactly, how exactly did Trinidad become doubles? Like that’s insulting
@@beyourself2444 thought was me alone notice it was about doubles like come on we have better foods to try besides doubles and soup smh
@@sadenickie6167 because Doubles was invented in Trinidad and is currently a world trend. Stop being a dotish tun tun hole and just enjoy the spotlight we have. You acting like the video is I ly doubles 🤦🏾 why yuh vex? Just enjoy the show and hush yuh stink tun tun
As Vincy I was steady asking myself why this man ain go Trinidad yet🤭 ... best doubles , roti ,bus up shut and curry anything! 🙂 Yummy
thanks he should visit your country as well you guys are awesome!!! southy here lol
Beautiful to see you appreciate the food of the island. As a Trinidadian, you shared so much treasured memories! Mark, you and your team did a great job! I am happy to subscribe to all your content
Again, I am disabled and can't really travel, but you and your family make feel like I am there. Your reaction to the food makes me feel like I can taste it. Thank you.
Our food is a combination of African, Indian, Chinese and the Native Arawak, Caribe peoples. There are so many unique fruits, vegetables and provisions that can be found on the island.
Welcome Mark and thank you for the visit!
Wow that's amazing 😍♥️♥️....
Don't forget Syrians litter the streets now mainly ariapita Avenue with gyros and their varied dishes. And other areas we also have the Venez jumping into the mix.
And Spanish and French
Mainly more of an Indian mix but yeh
Trinidad food is Indian food with Caribbean spices🤣🤣🤣
I’m a British born Grenadian that has travelled across the Caribbean and can say that Trinidad and Tobago has some of the best food on offer. Great to see Mark try the mauby, for many it’s not for them but I find it absolutely delicious. Seeing the roti and doubles makes me hungry for the food and a trip to T&T.
The older Grenadians would be mad if they read your comment. Lol
Catch a Groove Mauby is a great drink. Its also a "cooling" or herbal cleanse for the body. Mauby should be served chilled and not too sweet to give you that bitter-sweet taste. Its delicious.
As a Trini the doubles taste good 👍🏽
@@tamaramcrae4037 I'm an older Grenadian living in Toronto and I say it all the time Trinidad has the best tasting foods in the Caribbean and guess who get upset when I say that. The Jamaicans.
@@mrs.laborde6604 True, well said. From ah Trini living in Canada.
Those fruits & vegetables are breath taking especially the Guinep that is what you get when you visit those Caribbean countries thank you Mark again for highlighting these lush places Mark you just dive into the food you’re given ( Mark W you rock)

I’m Jamaican descent and when it comes the Caribbean it seems Jamacia is always in the limelight. Nice to see other Carrib countries being represented because the food variation is vast and under reprisented…The food looks so good in Trini that I’m gonna have to visit for that alone…Bliss
@@AtommHD facts!!!
I lived in Trinidad for 2 years and I loved every second of it. Curry on the beach was an unexpected magic that seems weird at first but once you experience it makes so much sense. Big love to all my Trini friends ❤
Big up 2 u! 😊❤
I'm Asian American and whenever I go to Southeast Asia and see Western tourists try foods like Roti Chennai or different Thai, Malaysian or Indian curries and see them lose their minds like it's the best food they've ever had I always chuckle and think "damn, imagine they had some buss-up-shot and Trini curries, or bake and shark, smoked herring and tomato bake, boneless chicken roti with pumpkin, doubles, aloo pie etc - all of that Trini food blows everything they had away" 😂 I feel like no White people get exposed to Trini food and I always laugh because I know the TRUE KING of DERIVATIVE Indian food, and it's not in Southeast Asia, but rather the Caribbean!
Mark I love Trinidad 🇹🇹 a lot and I know the people over there is an example of love and respect. Thanks for making my mouth watering after watching all there food. I am coming there soon Trinidad 🇹🇹 love you guys a lot.
I am sooooo happy that Mark visited my beautiful country Trinidad and Tobago. Our food is delicious! Our culture is infectious. Great vibes, great people. #proudtrini

this was probably the first time seeing so many people recognise mark. the lady in the car and then the sirian guy bringing the extra garlic sauce, it was so wholesome
I’m Cuban and I loved this video, some stuff I can relate too, but made me happy you loving the stuff.
I like that it was.not the typical Trinidad food but more indepth like the mauby .fish broth ect ..we are blessed with turning nothing into something delicious
as a fellow trinidadian, im proud that my country is getting more and more global recognition day by day😭💖
thank you mark🥰

BlessUp You and Your Relations 🦅🏆😎
Canada 🇨🇦
@@dextermorganbloodspattersp6382 thank you so much!
❤❤
I am also Trinidadian
@@sia9640 what's your whatsapp Number
As a Japanese I wanna try that taro, carrot, pumpkin and fish soup, because it really resembles to Japanese soup
Does it? Then i want to try that soup as a trini living in Japan!
All food is inspired by African cuisine so I believe you yummy😂
I’m from South Africa and I can relate.
@@shanequaaustin8908i think india played a bigger role here too.
As a Trinidadian who visited Japan, almost everything in Japan tasted perfect. The major difference is our green seasoning. I had Ramen and I found it was a very strong flavor. I was missing my green seasoning, especially culantro/ shado beni.
You know the food is good when the cabinet space run out and it takes up space on top of the cabinets. Love the food. I gotta visit Trinidad. Such an awesome food culture.
You should come for Christmas 🎄
@Sasha_34 🇹🇹 going to Mexico this Christmas. I'll be there soon.
I normally watch your show from other people countries but I can't believvvvve your were in Trinidad and Tobago and I dnt know. So happy to hear. Hope you enjoyed your stay. Love love love💞💞
As a Trini there is no reason for me to be getting hungry EVERY time I see our food on display but not even 20mins in and I'm craving EVERYTHING 😅
So ture lol
Lol😂
Fr eh 😭
I notice when I am eating and watching Mark Wiens......The food taste even more delicious.....!......True story.....lol.....
Love this. Go Trinidad. I am from Jamaica and I am looking forward to have the T&T experience one day.
As a Trini, Jamaica is on the top of my bucket List
Mark has the generosity of sharing the food with his guide giving the tour to Mark unlike some other YT bloggers who hog alone while the guides look at them hogging the food.
TRULY added another dimension of pride for my Trini heritage. Thank you for this!
As a fellow islander (JA) I am excited to see Trinidadian cuisine featured here. Can't wait to visit and experience it myself!
Same.
As a Jamaican that is only here for a few months, let me tell you it's not worth it.
@@princessnana10 I’ve heard it’s not that good but how so?
@@zola919 trust me. Some of the persons here at the definition of satan. Work is very hard to get. If u do get it " them work yuh like a hog" lol. Most of the rooms here to rent are dirty ( matches box). But hey come and experience the "wonderful" Trinidad for yourself. Maybe your stay would be better than mine:)
@@princessnana10 I’ve heard it’s not the paradise they pretend it is. How is the food and culture?
So happy you came to my country 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 keep up the great work mark there is no one in the world that shows other peoples cultures like you do
Thank you Nicholas, really appreciate your support!
@@MarkWiens I need you and your family to come to nj so we can have a nice time eating good food mark you and your family

Can't wiat to have this experience in Trinidad. I am from there but live in the U.S. all my life from the time I was a child. Gotta do this. Dude I have never seen anyone that can put away that much food and that much pepper. Your stomach is like the bottomless pit, LOL........ Nice video.
The many varieties of food in T&T is out of this world. Definitely a foodie paradise.
Ahhh, Trinidad & Tobago. Land of steel pan & calypso. A cosmopolitan melting pot of amazing people and exquisite cuisine. You Sir have only sampled the tip of the iceberg when it comes to our mouth watering dishes but I’m thrilled you got the chance to experience some of our food & culture and i hope you visit again soon, and next time hop on over to Tobago, so much to eat there as well😊🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Thank you very much, more videos coming!
And limbo ..do not forget
YES When you were in Jamaica 🇯🇲 i said you must go to Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹 👏🙌 Jamaica still has a lot more in store for you and Guyana 🇬🇾 is a must as well
THIS PLACE IS HEAVEN ON EARTH.
MY DREAM PLACE. ❤️
Land of sun sea and fun. Welcome.
Why don't you visit one day
Not so much crime as in jamaica and food is way better and the people are very humble and open to other culture food.. They are more open minded..
Trinidad es lo maximo. Me encanta su gente y su comida.
This video truly warms my heart.
There's so much to Trinidad besides what we hear in the news.
The food is amazing there. I've been there as a teenager 5 times.
The food and the vibrant city life are my most memorable experiences there.
