Making Market

My peeps

The tradition of making Sunday, or Saturday market for the week is one seeped deep down in our Caribbean roots.

As times proceed into a more “modern” world there is the option of produce in the grocery and a lot of people deferred to that option.

 However, there is nothing like going to the market in Trinidad.

Some people suggest Maracas Bay or the museum to be totally emerged into Trinbagonian culture.

I say try the market!

Check it out peeps!

It's the place where the condensation of culture and Trini nature is condensed and strongly offered up to highlight the nation's produce.

How many times have you ventured to the market and found comedy relief from the hot sun or heavy bags in a market vendors jingle?

 I'm talking from the classic: “Try it Yuh might like it!” to “I have the pine to make Yuh gyal tingle down she spine”,

" Who want hot and slimey, Yuh looking for me ! (insert suggestive look on vendor’s face)

ochro allyuh ochro!”

If not for supporting a culture that supports the country #strictlylocal.

Go to the market where not only the red mango, fudge, jellabi ,khruma and fruits are sweet ….

But everyone is.

Because you are every vendors’ 'darlin,darling’  sweet, sweetness, lover, sweetheart, ‘doux doux’ which in case yuh don't Know (Doux Doux) is sweet x2.(so Yuh GT)

The produce is fresh and the prices are much less ridiculous than the Jingles.
