Rambharat says Doubles is made of imported ingredients

[nemisis]

Other than restaurants who buying peeled garlic?

[trinigamer]

There are other inputs besides the channa, flour, baking powder, salt, oil etc: the labour to prepare and cook the channa and bara, to transport it, and to sell it, the gas/diesel used in transport, electricity and water are local.

Rambharat is confusing the main ingredients as the only inputs, the concept of value add is missing.

garlic, tomato purée and onions are mainly supplied by china.
esp garlic
and china exports a lot of peeled garlic with prison labour, lot of them peeled with teeth as the prisoners fingers sore from overwork.

snd daz y I doh buy peeled garlic

and when dey dead, free organs to harvest

[redmanjp]

^ no wonder covid spread from there

[Rovin]

because something is found or was made locally doesn't necessarily means its local

nearly every single thing derives in some sort of form directly or indirectly from importation, even if u grow it here d farming chemicals & fertilizer are imported unless it was grown free from chemicals in somebody small garden or estate ...

[ScHoolboySoloQ]

the easier question would be : which of our meals are all local?

Boil plantain and steam manicou

[pugboy]

I cut off the stem part and just smash with side of knife, skin comes off easy

There is also a trick technique to shake them in a round bowl but I found it unreliable

i hear most of the “fresh” local juices using concentrate from mexico and other places

likewise the locally “manufactured” ketchup using puree from china

Back in 2014 I was in a meeting with Namdevco where they said something like 70% of pepper mash used in the country is imported from Colombia and Costa Rica. Pepper Mash is what is used by the big companies like Chief, Matouks and Chatak to make their pepper sauces. Trini peppers are added to provide flavour but the basis is the mash.
So something ubiquitous as Trini pepper sauce isn't actually Trini at all

not unless yuh do like me & grow your own and make yuh pepper sauce at home.
& even that has one imported item in it (but only cuz I eh figure out yet if it make sense to grow grow garlic )

There are machines which peel garlic easily

Also try simply shaking it vigorously in a bowl and it peels off.

The lobster at IAM and gopiesingh wedding was all local. Big fellaz too.

Same as the ones at the restaurants in north and north west.

Local and local cleaned.

[paid_influencer]

Clarence need to understand this phenomena of working people dressed 'in their finery' buying doubles for lunch is less about choice and more about the income instability during the years 2015 to 2020.

[pugboy]

I see lobster going for $46/lb now street vendor price
Drop from 55-50

Anything allyuh call, no matter how much you think it's all local with zero imported inputs, allyuh wrong all day long. Try eating any of those things without salt and lemme know how it tastes

[paid_influencer]

serious talk eh, but where all these lobsters coming from? them not going to be overharvested soon at the current rate?

[pugboy]

Scuba divers on the east coast
Lots of fellas raping the sea out there

Them fellas filling the giant rotoplastics bins like dat
Was by a dive place in south and could not believe the number of tanks I saw brought to be filled up
Guy said they were for lobster divers

Trinidad is the new Guyana.

Years ago Guyanese had to replace potato with Cassava. When you brought a KFC in Guyana it came with Cassava fries. Plantain chips also replaced potato chips

Now this kant Clarence looking to limit Injun bussiness.

Red goverment slowly looking to increase taxes on ingredients for injun bussiness.

Racist goverment

We going by the sea for some water then we boiling it until we get salt.

Oh wait is that local salt or still imported?

[MaxPower]

I really dont see what the big deal is.

Do what you must for the benefit of your business.

Local or imported it doesn’t matter.

Trinis have to stop this “national” this and that.....they have no respect for their country anyhow so its irrelevant what they so and don’t do.

Anyways, enjoy allyuh doubles.

Need allyuh to keep eating so our doctors could get paid.

[daring dragoon]

like gas gonna go up? some mischief taking place "ah wah" for a statement designed to distract the sheep in the country as we all know trinis only beat up when it affects doubles, kfc and white oak. keep them population beating up over doubles talk while the powers that be "handle ah scene"

[j.o.e]

Trinis really don’t understand context yes. Man speaking at a event to push local farming. One passing comment get blown up by media into a full story. He eh stopping you from eating doubles just showing ppl that the most basic and popular food we have all imported just like every thing else.
Is he lying ? No
Is he trying to kill off doubles? No
Relax allyuh mc self and eat yuh doubles

Kant Clarence let the 1% KFC pass

[rebound]

I tort dog whistles waz only for elections yes... but consistency always wins.

[Redman]

Kant Clarence let the 1% KFC pass

Maybe because their chicken is supplied by......who?

[zoom rader]

Kant Clarence let the 1% KFC pass

Maybe because their chicken is supplied by......who?

And who supplies the Raw Chicken feed ?

[Redman]

If that's the case everything is imported....even you.
Allyuh really special.
