Many Christians around the world and right here in Trinidad and Tobago observed Good Friday today, the Friday before Easter Sunday as it commemorates Jesus Christ's Passion, crucifixion and death, which is told in the Christian bible. But what is also important about today was that it was the day when the terms Anno Domini (AD) and Before Christ (BC) began being used to label or number years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The term anno Domini is Medieval Latin and means "in the year of the Lord", but is often translated as "in the year of our Lord". Bet some of you didnt know that tid bit 😁
But besides today being a Good Friday for all the religous and time related meanings it is also a Good... no a Great day to be a Trini because we 1. get a Public Holiday and 2. get to eat some great food. I'm sure many of us Christians or not, had hot cross buns at breakfast this morning.
Hot Cross Buns
However the true treat would have come at Lunch where there is usually an assortment of seafood, ground provisions and cornmeal dishes. Here are a few pics of Lunch prepared by some of the better cooks I know in Trini...
Baked Fish in Coconut Sauce
Stewed Fish
Curried Shirmp
Coco (savoury seasoned cornmeal pie) and Callaloo (Taro leaf soup usually flavoured with crab)
Boiled - Sweet Potatoes, Green Bannans, and Ripe Plantains
Now isnt that yummy... yep cant get a better Friday Lunch than that on a Good... no a Great Friday!
Enjoy the rest of it guys and be safe on the roads if your still out by family. And remember...
