If I told you that I was from Trinidad, where it is the home of Carnival where there’s a explosion of colors, music, creativity, and revelry. With its massive masquerade bands, amazing costumes, music that when you hear it’s impossible not to dance. Because it is a time to unwind and free your mind, would you know where I was from ? Where I’m from we eat dishes like Pelau and macaroni pie. Pelau is one of Trinidad’s traditional dishes. It can be made with any type of meat, such as chicken, beef, lamb, goat and pork. I prefer my Pelau to be made with chicken. It is a sweet but salty dish that when made you can smell it miles away. When going to my aunt’s house I can always smell the wonderful smell of Pelau getting off the elevator.
