African Tigress you are touching alot of people live with your videos. Keep doing what you are doing. Always be yourself.

Lynn, Maggots! I have never heard Ackee described in that way before😄😄. Some people think it looks like scrambled eggs when cooked. Ackee and Saltfish is the national dish of Jamaica. You should try it when you go to Jamaica. Ackee is a fruit not a vegetable and it is said to be poisonous if not cooked properly. It is not indigenous to Jamaica. It was shipped to the island from Africa (I believe Ghana).

It was great to hear fromthose Bajans who had travelled to Africa! I know for sure that it’s not cheap

Corn meal, sweet potato, pumpkin, coconut, nutmeg,spice, butter, raisin,

The standard of living, salaries, and value of the Bds $ are higher than many other islands (and several African countries). If you have US $$ to spend in other islands, you get more bang for the buck, but for the nationals who use their local currency, it’s quite expensive.

This is my sister for life❤

In Barbados, fish cake batter is made with salted cod, chives, thyme, marjoram, scotch bonnet pepper, onion, garlic, flour, baking powder and water. The salted cod is washed and boiled to remove the excess salt, then it is shredded and mixed with the chopped herbs. The seasoned fish is stirred into the flour and baking powder, then water is added to turn the dry mixture into a thick batter. It is then dropped into hot oil to be fried into round balls. There are similar foods on the other islands with some small differences in ingredients or texture, and called by different names. Trinidad has something similar called saltfish accra and Jamaica has saltfish fritters, but the "fritters" are flat not round.
