@moonbus saidBaked duck.... good stuff. Need to try that. We generally curry the thing. A open log fire is the usual method. Very tasty.
Baked duck, rice, veg, light red wine.

@rajk999 saidI made baked chicken enchiladas and a nice green-bean casserole. Just me here, so I skipped the traditional meals, but couldn't do without the green-bean casserole, which is tradition in my family from way back. I'm totally jealous over the Angostura 1824, my preference is rum also, over nearly everything else. I settled on a nice California Chardonnay.
So far its 10.00 am here In Trinidad & Tobago. Rain is threatening. Had a light breakfast of baked yard chickens and home-baked bread, with lots of hot sauce and Dijon mustard. Had 2 rums so far. I got me an old Angostura 1824 rum, on the rocks. Lunch is going to be turkey and lamb leg, with scalloped potatoes and a few other delicious sides.. Friends are going to drop over ...[text shortened]... w Christmases over in England, Canada and the US, so I know the culture, food and drinks vary a lot.
@relentless-red saidWhen they say these holidays put the pounds on, they're not kidding.
Bubble and squeak with parsnips, red cabbage, sprouts and mashed roast potatoes for lunch today gorgeous.
Turkey stir fry this evening. Definitely best to use the red meat with the hoisin sauce.
Great comfort food is always the way to go.

@rajk999 saidI guess you're in Trinidad as Tobago is the size of a small pea 😀 How do they not belong to Venezuela? Some bloody history there I'm sure.

Anyway, I'm not to far from you in Cartagena at the moment, just had a couple of beers and went to a restaurant for salmon raviolis, family in Ireland do the traditional Turkey etc. but I go for something different when away, last year was Indian.
@trev33 saidI guess in the colonization years the British successfully kept Spanish out of here. Good thing too. We would have been in a royal mess along with Venezuela. Salmon ravioli sounds interesting.

@relentless-red saidNever heard of bubble and squeak. Googled it and it sounds like a leftover dish. Anyways the taste is all in the skill of the chef.

@suzianne saidSounds like a healthy meal. Another great Caribbean rum is 15 yr old El Dorado. Its a smooth sipping rum. That should be available in the US.

@rajk999 saidRice and peas...nah just kidding. I was introduced to that back in the early 70s buy a Trinidadian friend in Toronto, who was in accounting and moved back to Trinidad. Your nickname name isn't "Sooky" is it? 🙂 We had Turkey, mashed potatoes, "Cabbage Patch Balls" (aka: sprouts), gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce and like Hakima a nice Chardonnay.

@great-big-stees saidMy daughter's father comes from Trinidad, living in Canada since many years. I mostly remember his curry-chicken-dishes, he was good at that and his sister even better. We never had rum though.

This Christmas I tried elderflower schnapps - mild taste.
@torunn saidTrinis are good at curry dishes. I have heard from several well-travelled people that they find that our food here to be some of the tastiest they have had. I tried elderflower cordial in the UK and it is a delicious drink. The UK is not noted for their food but their fish and chips, pork sausages and Sunday pub lunches are world class.
