Richard's Shark and Bake - Bizarre Foods

People want to experience life like fast food, sweet and salty

For all of you who get the station Travel and Living, you may be familiar with Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern . His show deals with his going to a country and really going off the beaten track, trying the less familiar cuisine. The show has interested me because I am always curious to see what the countries he has visited have to offer. I also realized that he had come to Trinidad and Tobago from an image at the introduction of the show. That show was finally on the air today. I missed a bit of it, but was able to see him at Maracas beach having a bake and shark, in St. James having a roti and a doubles, at San Juan market buying callallo and Down the Islands eating the heart of a fish that was blurred out to the viewers for some reason that was not clear? I am always very curious to see what people say about Trinidad and Tobago.

[X marks Richard's Shark and Bake at Maracas Bay, Trinidad and Tobago from Google satellite ] Not because I want to see their view so much as I am interested to see how accurate they are. It is then that I can gauge whether they are equally true about other places they visit. It is a quirk of mine for sure, and has no basis in fact. I assume that it is a reaction to my island. Bizarre Foods did not necessarily show the food of Trinidad and Tobago as being strange, after all, he did not go for our 'wild meats for example. But it was a good attempt at trying to give people a sense of what our eating habits are all about. - Adele.

I saw this program on TV ( I think on the Travel channel) and his reaction was something like, 'This is not just the best sandwich in Trinidad, but possibly the best sandwich in the world.'

I have lived in The USA for 32 years and even before I left Trinidad I was eating shark and bake, But I must say Richards shark and bake is almost as good as good as my Mums
