Vegetable Bones - March 2014

Every dish in Trinidad has bones. During the final lab day of this recap, one man went out to pick up roti lunch. After enough meals in Trinidad, I knew to expect ox and goat rotis, cow heel and ox tail soups, pan chicken and fish dishes all to have bones inside. I did not think to bite into a vegetable dish with caution. Imagine my surprise upon finding vegetable bones! My teeth met something wooden, with no give. The fruit around it was fleshy and sweet, sticky and fibrous, and well curried. Trinidad: love the food, chew with care.
