Scarborough food - always to remember
There’s a lot of choice in Tobago for such a small island. You can eat delicious local fayre for less than £3 per head, or go the whole hog at one of the top hotel restaurants and dine on tournedos rossini with morels and roquefort. Good restaurants have been springing up all over Tobago and there is now good choice in price, variety and ambience. You can eat well if you’re self catering, with lots of fresh food options and very good prices. In between, there are plenty of restaurants offering fresh fish, steak (the local beef is delicious), chicken and lots of Caribbean veg and fruit, like paw paw, mango and breadfruit. Expect to pay at least £10 per head for a meal at a good non-local food restaurant. Prices are much the same as at home in the hotels and good restaurants. You'll see food names around the island that you may not recognise but are delicious local dishes that you may want to try, and are local favourites - A typical Tobago family meal could consist of peas and rice, callalloo - a sort of coconut and spinach soup, - curried crab and dumpling - whole blue crabs in spices- chicken pelau - slow cooked chicken with coconut, spices and rice- pea soup - a thick soup of fresh picked peas, dasheen, sweet potato, flavoured with bacon- roti - a thick curry of chick pea and potato with either beef, chicken, lobster or goat, wrapped takeaway style in a kind of flour tortilla- provision - local vegetables- bake - delicious fried bread rolls usually stuffed with something yummy like fish or meat. Roti has to be the best value meal on the island. It's Tobago's equivalent of fish and chips. If you see a sign for roti, get some. It's an Indian chapatti style pancake , wrapped up around a thick curry of potato and chick peas with either chicken, beef shrimp or goat. It's absolutely scrummy and if you pay more than £1 in the street booths you've been had. Crab and dumpling is a must. Tobago has blue land crabs that tend to live in holes by the edge of the roads. They're caught and cooked whole in their shells with curry sauce and served with flour dumplings. Yum. When it rains, the crabs tend to come out from their roadside hiding places, and if the children are on their way home from school, you'll see them catching crabs to take home for mum to cook for tea.
