local bagels

Thought this was interesting - Bagels in Trinidad with a little local touch - see the saltfish and smokeherring? Very popular and tradiitonal local breakfast choices. They used to just have it with the bake (fried bread) but I guess people wanted it on their bagels too. The saltfish, called buljol normally, is made with onions, tomatoes, peppers etc.

 

From the window of Pizza Boys, Point Lisas in Trinidad. Pizza Boys is a local large franchise - and not just of pizza. They started a long time ago, with 2 different types of eateries - Pizza Boys, and then Burger Boys. Then they merged, and became Pizza/Burger boys. They also started a new franchise later on called Vie de France, which was all about sandwiches on good breads and croissants and desserts. And coffee, good coffee, but then they let the coffee go to yet another creation - Rituals, which has little and big coffee bars all over the country now, including on campus and in the airport. I prefer the old Vie de France coffee.
