The tears of orphans

[DMan7]

Plenty people does wash their fresh chicken with flour tho...

[Rovin]

i find flour really washes out freshness d bess ...

[DMan7]

The flour isn't for taking out the freshness it's to make the chicken look clean, use lime or vinegar to remove freshness.

[Rovin]

flour takes out freshness, slime, odors - anyhow u want to say\describe it ... google it

[DMan7]

Well I used it for washing the chicken, always use lime or vinegar to remove freshness.

[zoom rader]

Its true what he saying
The people who really know agriculture and can get great yields are the ones who get refused grants and funding.

All these idiots who getting large parcels of agri land and hundreds of thousands in grants always flop.

They do it to get tax concessions on 4x4s and don't know one arse about framing.

Most of these scamps get it via the bailiser whore house. Ask eliteauto-tuntun

That is correct. Only thing is, you gotta make sure and rinse out every last remnant of the flour, otherwise you might end up with a gummy end result.

$10 DOUBLES COMING SOON, SAYS THE T&T DOUBLES ASSOCIATION.

Doubles can rise to $10

The T&T Doubles Association is warning that the increased flour cost could mean an increase in doubles prices but bread manufacturers like Kiss Baking and Linda’s are currently going over their processes and both said they would revert to customers at a later date.

Head of the T&T Doubles Association Kurt Nigel Mason said that as all raw material costs go up, the final product price would have to be adjusted.

He said that citizens would have to learn to adapt to wheat flour mixed with another type of grain.

“If doubles is made with cornflour instead, prices may be controlled,” he said.

“In Guyana to cut the cost, wheat flour is mixed with cassava flour to make bread,” Mason said.

Mason said that for food to remain affordable, Trinidadians must learn to adapt to corn, cassava, rice and potato flour instead of the traditional wheat.

“T&T belly must adapt to hard times,” he said.

“$10 for doubles coming soon,” he added.

The lime / vinegar makes the meat more tender as well.

I does use lime or vinegar if we going to use to meat immediately after washing it.

Flour if it going in the freezer

And only flour for lamb/pork

[DMan7]

Only flour for shrimp, can't use lime or vinegar on it as it will take away all the taste.

As for doubles going to $10, so that means I can only eat 2 doubles now instead of 4 unless I willing to spend more?

[The_Honourable]

Knowing Trinis... we would still buy.

I find it rather amusing that he couldn't see the alternative option that even more viable to the consumer, that ppl go stop buying doubles altogether & done.
only way a doubles could sell for $10 and people MIGHT be inclined to buy it, is if the size increased 120% and is a triple. other than that, doubles men might hadda end up eating their own product in bulk.

[Rovin]

$10 doubles he hadda be fackin madd or he gonna make it bigger to suit d price otherwise he might have to eat dat by he self


i dont ever use vinegar in my meats, i know u not supposed to use much but i find i does still pick up on d taste

sometimes i use baking powder or even a lil bit of fresh grind season to soak it for a lil while to also cut any funniness

yall ever notice when u buy frozen goat in d grocery how red d meat is, dise plenty blood in it, what i do is let d meat soak for a while then rinse it multiple times until u see d true pinkness color, another way in let water run on it in a bowl until u see all d redness comes out ...

Just don't buy. Simple. As a fit person, hover will understand that doubles is basically a cholesterol bomb.

[MaxPower]
