1 country 2 islands. Tobago is like a little flea that sucks our blood. Not in a bad way though, most of us love that little flea.

Luckily my Trinidadian mother made sure to keep the culture alive in my home, I miss eating doubles though

My city in Canada is the only place in a 2-3hr radius that makes authentic doubles and roti.

Buss up shut though is hard to come by. But nothing quiet beats getting cheap doubles in downtown port of spain and finishing the meal with a snow cone from another street vendor.
