DROP-IN DINNER: 868 — Trini Favouritesby Rhoma Spencer 

June 26, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The 868 represents Trinidad and Tobago’s country code and this menu celebrates the national dishes of the beautiful island nation where Rhoma Spencer grew up. From sancoche Saturday fare to the Sunday lunch callaloo, to the ever-present pelau to be shared liming with friends, Trinidad and Tobago’s culinary heritage is inspired by the many cultures that make up this twin isle republic. Trin­bag­on­ian foods are a mashup of Natives, African, Indian, Chinese, Portuguese and Mediterranean cultures.
