Well next time you go to Trinidad if you havent already tried it go to Maracus Bay and get the Shark and bake. Def a treat, comes with all the chutney sauce and everything. Doubles are the best, especially when they are from the side of the road. Havent been to trinidad for a while now. To bad I am gonna miss Carnival. Its the best time of the year.
