Ukukhanya kwelanga nokudliwa kuLwandle Oludume kakhulu lweTrinidad
Ngesikhathi sokuvakashelwa kwamuva eCarnival eTrinidad , imoto yethu - kulokhu ibhasi elincane - laqala ukuphuma endaweni yaseDeorgia yasePort of Spain. Ngaphambi kwesikhathi eside, ezinye zezindawo ezinhle kakhulu eCaribbean zaqala ukuvela. Izintaba nolwandle olungezansi kwavela lapho siqala ukukhuphuka kwethu, futhi imilomo yethu isivele isisela. Endleleni yethu, sasizophathwa ngamaphuzu ahlukahlukene okubuka, lapho abahamba khona bengakwazi ukudonsa imoto yabo ukuze bahambe endaweni ekhanyayo esuka ezintabeni ezintabeni kuze kube semanzini aseCaribbean Sea ngezansi.
Kulawa, iphuzu lokubuka elidume kakhulu, elaziwa ngabanye ngokuthi "iMarcacas Lookout," kabili ngokuthi "i-candy stand," yezinhlobonhlobo, ukukhonza ukuphathwa kwendawo njengomango omisiwe obomvu, umlimi oqoshiwe, nezinye izithelo ezikhethwa ngabathengisi, njengoba kanye nezintandokazi zobuntwana ezifana ne-gummy bears nezinhlanzi ezibomvu. Ngamunye wethu wayejabulela "ukwelashwa kwe-Trini" yethu, kepha mina, ngathengiswa emgodini wekakhukhunathi owenziwe kakhukhunathi wendawo.
Ngemva kokumisa ukwanelisa ama-sweettooths ethu, saqhubeka endleleni yethu. Indawo esiya kuyo, cishe ihora ukusuka ePort of Spain, yayiyiMaracas Beach , eyaziwa kakhulu ngamabhishi aseStinidad ambalwa-naphakathi kwamasimu, futhi efinyeleleka ngohambo lwezintaba ngeNorth Coast Road. Lapha, kulokho okubhekwa njengelinye lamabhishi amahle kunazo zonke e-Trinidad, izivakashi zizothola izidakamizwa zayo ezidayiswayo zokuthengisa okuyiqiniso: U-Shark no-Bake (noma i-Bake no-Shark noma i-Shark n Bake, uma ukhetha).
Igama linemibala ehlukahlukene, kodwa imiphumela ifana kakhulu - ifayela lokufaka i-flakey, elimhlophe, elibhejiwe, elinompheme obunwebe, inyama ebhakayi ejulile efakwe ebhodini elithambile kodwa elincane elidala abafundi be-diners ukuba benze i-cartoon- kufana nezinketho zenjabulo ehlala isikhathi eside - futhi ngaphambi kokuba i-condiments ingeziwe, lapho izinto ziqala ngempela ukukhetha.
Ukubhaka kanye ne-Shark kuyidlo yendabuko ye-Trinidadian, okwakuthiwa "ubhaka" empeleni kubhekisela esinkwa - "bhaka" - okuyinto ufulawa obukhulu, ogqotshweyo, osetshenziswe njengebhande elingezansi noma ukugoba izinhlanzi ngaphambi kokuba uthosiwe (kuye ngokuthi yisiphi isikhwama esinqumayo ukuya kuso).
Esikhathini sethu sokudla, sakhetha uRichard's Bake & Shark, esakha masinya sandwich ashisayo bese esishiya kubantu ukuze bengeze ama-toppings abo - zonke izinhlobo zokugqoka, utamatisi oqoshiwe, pepper, ukhukhamba kanye nephayinaphu elicucile.
Kodwa-ke, i-condiments ingase ihluke ngezinye izikhathi futhi ngakho-ke amanani - ngosuku esasizohlala ngalo, ama-sandwich ayeyi-$ 8 ngayinye; ngezinye izinsuku, zingathengiswa ngezingu-$ 20. Akusikho ukuthi intengo kufanele ikuvimbele ekuzameni lokhu kudla okuyisiqhingi, kodwa lungele ukuchitha ngaphezulu noma uhlukanise ubhake uma uhamba ngesabelomali.
Ngemva kokudla kwethu, sahlanza ubuciko bethu ngezinye izinhlobo ze-Trinidad: izikhumba ze-Angostura's Lemon Lime & Bitters, isiphuzo esithambile esakhiwe ngabantu abenza i-Angostura Bitters, ukuhlanganiswa okuyimfihlo kwe-Trini izinongo eziye zazijabulisa kakhulu i- cocktail abalandeli iminyaka eminingi (cabanga Ama-Fashion Fashion Old). Kodwa izingane zonyaka wonke zingakujabulela lesi siphuzo esiqabulayo esingesona utshwala, futhi ngosuku olushisayo lwe-Trinidadian, kuyindlela ephelele yokupholisa.
I-Maracas Beach yilapho iTrinis nezivakashi ziza khona ukugebha, ziphumule futhi zibambe imisebe, ikakhulukazi uma ingoma yokugcina ye-soca iphela futhi uMas ngoLwesibili uphenduka ngo-Ash ngoLwesithathu. Kuyiqiniso eliyigugu le-Trinidad, futhi ayikho icala lokungena. Woza i-Bake ne-Shark, uhlale emabhishi ashisayo nelanga. Kunzima ukuhamba kabi eMarcacas Beach.
