This sounds delicious...

Cook Eat Share cordially invites you to the last table this year - Trinidad Table, which will be held on Friday, December 4 at 6:00 p.m. at The Oxford Depot.

We invite you to explore Caribbean flavors as a true melting pot cuisine, with Trinidad, Tobagoblends Amerindian, European, African, Creole, Indian, Chinese, and Lebanese gastronomic influences. This twin island nation may be too far for you to travel just for dinner, but you can come lime and enjoy a home-style Trinidadian meal prepared with our own sweet hands ('lime' in Trinidad means 'hang out' and 'sweet hands' refers to good cooking).

Limited seats: first come, first served.
Email your reservation to ceshare@olemiss.edu, then purchase your tickets with your confirmation number. The cost is $22 per person.

Appetizers

Pholourie with tamarind sauce-fried dough in a sweet and spicy sauce.
Buljol-salted cod fish with peppers, onion, and tomato.

Entrees

Curried Goat-highlighting the influence of the Indo-Caribbean population,tender stewed meat in a spicy broth served over rice.
Coocoo and Callaloo-the prevalence of okra-based dishes stems from African roots. Coocoo is cornmeal cooked with okra, and is very similar to polenta. Callaloo is Trinidad's national dish, a zesty soup made from okra and leafy greens.

Plantain-a savory cousin to banana, it is prepared by frying or boiling.

Dessert and Beverages

Black Cake-a traditional holiday sweet treat.
Sorrel-a distinctive drink brewed from the flowers of the Hibiscus plant.
