If I said I was from Trinidad, where the island’s rich history, biodiversity, and culture create a welcoming atmosphere for all, would you know where I’m from? Where the diversity of people reflect the numerous festivals there or the famous Carnival that boasts the most stunning celebrations as it’s national festival with it’s enchanting costumes and bands that make you want to dance the day away. Where I’m from we eat Crab and Dumpling. Crab and Dumpling is a savory Trinidadian dish made with curry, crab, a simple dumpling recipe, and of course for me with a lot of pepper. When I hear that my grandfather is coming to visit, this is one dish that he MUST prepare for me. Nothing beats the aroma of crab that’s been infused with curry and coconut milk as it slowly simmers in the pot. The smell alone makes your mouth water and your stomach growl. Not to mention, the buttery dumplings that get combined with the crab and accumulate all the flavors from the pot which makes me say, “Is it done yet?”. Where I’m from rain or shine it doesn’t matter, anytime is the perfect time for Crab and Dumpling
