Is iguana really the main meat Trinbagonians eat?

Question

Hi I would love to visit your beautiful country, and I'm very much interested in the exotic foods that is made there.

But, really my friend told me that iguana is the main meat. Is this true or is it some other type of meat?

I would love to hear from about this. I'm soooo looking forward to walking on your lovely beaches with the sand between my toes. Oh, what a paradise is your country.

Answer 1

We refer to iguana as "wild meat"  and no its not the main meat, the main meat is universal - Chicken, followed by beef, lamb, pork, turkey, duck, etc

Iguana however is a delicious tasting meat (once cooked correctly)  It can be curried or stewed down with coconut milk.  Its best served with provisions and dumpling.

Answer 2

Answer 8

Welcome TriniSoccer, unlike popular belief, Iguana is not the main meat in our beautiful twin island state.  it is actually chicken (or as Julien said KFC), pork, fish, beef and lamb.

however if you feeling for exotic then for sure, feel free to try the iguana, lappe, tattoo, pigeon, monkey, horse, gouti, manicou, etc (not that i would be able to tell you how any of them taste)

Enjoy your visit. lool

Answer 10

No pal,Iguana is not the main meat in Trinidad it's chicken sorry to bust your bobble,but we do eat it, curry down with coconut milk and serve with dumplins and yams, yes Trinidad is relly a nice place not to many beautiful beaches but you can get those nice beaches in Tobago, Trinidad is night life and carnival beautiful women any where you look i tell you boy it's a great place to be.

Answer 11

I am from Trinidad and I have never once in my life eaten Iguana, and I never intend to either. Iguana is NOT the main meat in Trinidad, just some people in Trinidad would eat anything that moves, they do like if they starving or something, eating all kind of things, some of these things are not healthy to eat, and when they die from it, they say "he was a strong man, what happened?"

The main meat is Chicken, followed by goat, duck, beef and pork. But yes, some people do eat lambee, manicou, iguana, aligator, dolphin, etc.

Enjoy your trip!

Answer 13

No. It is NOT the MAIN meat. It is rare that it is eaten. You are more likely to eat curry chicken, duck, or goat. Try my favorite snack....doubles....yum!

Answer 14

Answer 15

PPl eat it yes. I eh so brave. I wouldn't say iguana is the main meat. It have lappe, tattoo, "gouti", deer, but dese days is anything dey get dey eating.

Answer 16

This is a joke, right?

Hey, why the thumbs down - if you check the guy's previous questions, he is obviously either a Trini or knows it well, he is just winding people up about the iguana!

Can't you just hear the sarcasm dripping in the final sentence?!!

Good one Trinisoccer, or isn't it Trinisoca?
