Pelau

A happy mixup - pelau,

True true trini food,

Just like our trini people,

This and That and The Other,

But really, a browned rice cookup,

With pigeon peas and meat.

  1. I learn so much from reading your poems, Gillena, about Trinidadian carnival, plants and food. I love the thought of a ‘browned rice cookup’, simple but tasty.
