Ah, doubles! If yuh from Trinidad, yuh know what I talking about. Doubles is de ultimate street food, real bess vibes. Picture this: two soft, fluffy bara (that’s like a fried flatbread) hugging a generous spoonful of channa (curried chickpeas) that's soaked up all the spicy, flavorful goodness.
When yuh order doubles, yuh does have to ask, “slight, medium, or heavy?” That’s how much pepper sauce yuh want on it. And lemme tell yuh, the pepper does buss yuh mouth, but in a good way! Some people like to add a lil mango chutney, tamarind sauce, or even cucumber for that extra zing.
Doubles is the kinda thing yuh grab on a morning when yuh rushing to work, or after a night of liming, and yuh stomach crying out for something to soak up the rum. Yuh does find it by de roadside, usually from ah vendor with a lil stall, and the best doubles is always the one with a long line. Yuh know the saying, "The longer the line, the better the taste!"
So if yuh ever in Trinidad and yuh ain't try doubles yet, yuh missing out on a big part of we culture. It's simple, it’s cheap, but boy, it’s de real deal. Trust meh, once yuh taste doubles, yuh go be hooked!
