This is amazing! How interesting to create a festival celebrating the creative uses of pigeon peas. 😮 Props to the creator and her husband.
Really love them giving out a seedling 🌱 to everyone who attends.
Yes it is, and I making sure that plant we got still going strong, lol….but hopefully you’ll be able to visit it next year or sometime
I love my pigeon peas with cascadoo and to make peas dhal & tamarind chutney 🤩
Boom!!! That’s some good food
Rajeev - Festivals are good for T&T local economies and tourism. I would love to taste the doubles and the Pizza. Some history on pigeon peas - It was discovered in the Peninsular of India around 2800BCE, arrive in Egypt -2200BCE - it may have made its way to North-East Africa via Trans-Oceanic Bronze Age trade - then to Americas and the Caribbean via the slave ship. Pigeon peas make a well-balanced meal and hence are favored by nutritionists. I had pegion peas and "Cookup Rice" in Guyana. Very Nice Video.
Thanks for the history lesson Paul, that’s pretty cool 😁
Thank you for shareing
You’re welcome
I could only imagine how much of a treat pigeon peas used to be long ago when we did not import all these other foreign peas and beans. The things we take for granted nowadays.
We’ll all the peas at this festival came from the hills in Diego Martin, so you kinda got that treat from long ago, especially when you consider the older age of some of these vendors, hopefully the younger generations will continue this
Great video! Interesting uses for pigeon peas. Keep eating😊
Yup, and hopefully next year I’ll get to try their other stuff
Good to know its still alive, thought it was older.
Yup
Ok this video was interesting Pigeon peas doubles n pizza very interesting or yes and I Made baked beans pizza but I mixed it with minced beef and it was delicious so I would try the pigeon peas
Yup, especially if you stew the peas, it gives it a sweet-ish taste but you can balance that with some peppers
Wow the doubles and pizza looks interesting
Yup, the pizza was norms, like if they didn’t told me it had pigeon peas in it I wouldn’t have known, but the doubles is definitely interesting
Love how this video was both informative and educational would like to see you cover similar festivals as it comes up as I 'm sure young kids can benefit from viewing ,good job.
Thank you, I plan to cover everything I possibly can, it may be late for some stuff that I’ve discovered recently but we make a note of it for next year 😁
Wonderful video. Very informative indeed!
Thank you and they are having it on the 27th of this month 😁
Trini People really know how to diversify things! Mom makes Peaspouri all the time but we have to experiment with some of these!
Peaspouri sounds rel delicious as well and yeah we are innovative but we need support for everyone to thrive
@@TrinbagoVibes Peas instead of dhal and you grind, season up and cook the same way. that with some curry or tomatoes choka, even hot and fresh off the tawah!
Agreed. A whole lot more of support is needed; funding, showcasing and highlighting. So thanks for doing your part in the latter!
Great and interesting video. Keep it up.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Curried pigeon peas has always been a classic 👌
That it has
lovin d vibbbes!! keep up the content man
Thanks 🙏🏽
Sounds delicious and yummy
That they were..well wasn’t a fan of the muffin as much
Thanks for taking us along. Thanks for the show and tell . We have so, so much to offer in T&T . And all local .
You’re most welcome and yeah we do
I love this one, very interesting indeed. Pigeon peas is a favorite in Trinidad and I would love to go to the festival at some point.
Nice to see, or in this case hear your wife in your video Lol. HI julia!
Thank you and yeah pigeon peas is a staple for Trinbagonians and hopefully you can next year
Omg we have that in Philippines too and it has a different local name. My father used to plant them when I was a kid and it was fun harvesting them and removing the peas from the pods lol. I didn't know it can be cooked into different varieties. We usually cook it with pork and jackfruit and it makes a delicious pork stew. ☺️
Boom!! That sounds delicious and yeah I didn’t know if it’s versatility until I visited this festival
I make a good pigon peas drumstick with a sauce that u would love . When I was growing up my family was vegetarian so we used pigeon peas ah lot
Boom!! Nice Cindy
Everything looked soo good and using local stuff to make all these things with Pigeon peas is soo innovative, hats off to all the vendors and this took place in the West, my neck of the woods, lol 🤗👍😋😁
Yup, innovative and inspirational 😁

I tried blackeye peas doubles and it was de best I would save my money every Friday to buy I still do
That sounds delicious as well, cuz I'm also a fan of blackeye peas
I live so close to this event but never thought abt going I even went to school there at st Johns boys rc and the other event taking place close to my new school Diego Martin north secondary so I might go
I understand that we sometimes take for granted stuff close to us, but yeah you should pass through next year
Boy, I went to the festival also but you get more things than me. You will see when I post my video after Carnival.. Also the minute I saw your video I knew that you would have to try the doubles.
Lol, yup…I had it at the emancipation village last year so had to try it a second rounds..and looking out for it
I’m all for ✨INNOVATION✨and thinking outside the box! 😊 I LOVE these type of events! That pigeon peas doubles looks SO good!
For me, the star of the doubles is the bara, unique flavor! When I make, my husband eats a few with butter and cinnamon sugar. SO GOOD!

This lateness but uh well get through. Very interesting
🤣🤣🤣 Jed, that’s life for you, it doesn’t always go according to plan
That's really cool, Tobago has their blue food festival. I live in Mayaro. I wish we had like a melon festival just to see what they can come with, but does amaze me is the talent that they have . Thanks for taking us along.
That it is Judy and I’ll cover Tobago’s blue food one of these days. Hopefully Mayaro will have something in the future, apart from the roast fish
A melon festival sounds like a great idea! Reminds me of pumpkin festivals in the states. Someone should really get it going!

I love pigeon peas
Boom!! The versatility of peas is unbelievable
Yuh mouth always going boi

Quite educational. Would have been good to know how much the box of cooked vegetables and curry cost
Thank you and It was $60 TTD
Heh!? Pigeon peas doubles? How am I now knowing about this? Well yes, the more you know...
Gotta keep on learning and be adventurous ever so often
Trinidad food self sustainability is all very possible
That it is, we just need more resources in agriculture
@@TrinbagoVibes I just think of all the diverse vegetables and fruits that we haven't looked at with inventive eyes.I'm proud of these people in reminding us to think outside the box.
@@salmineo4132 agreed, it was truly an inspiration to take in the innovation at this festival
