PARAMIN, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO – Today we’re going on a day trip to Paramin, a beautiful village in the mountains above Port of Spain that’s known as being the spice and herb basket of Trinidad. They grow lots of delicious plants, herbs and food. Today we have the special opportunity to hang out with Foodie Nation and Uncle Clyde for an ultimate Sunday lunch meal!
Big thank you to #visitTrinidad for inviting me to Trinidad and Tobago and for making this trip happen! Guide to the things and food in this video: https://visittrinidad.tt/things-to-do/cuisine/breakfast-and-sunday-lunch-in-paramin-trinidad-with-mark-wiens/

Here are the main things we did today:
Aunty Julia’s – After boarding our Land Cruiser and getting into the mountains, our first stop on the way to Paramin was Aunty Julia’s, legendary for her coconut bake and saltfish. We had the chance to see her make a fresh batch of coconut bake right out of her home. We ate the bake along with sal fish, sauteed down with tomatoes and onions. We also had some fresh chocolate tea with great spices and bay leaves.
Uncle Clyde – Next we headed over to Uncle Clyde’s place – he’s a food legend, does videos and recipes for Foodie Nation and he’s just the greatest Uncle you’d ever want to have. He loves to cook traditional Trinidadian food using local and natural ingredients. First we walked around and some of the ingredients we were going to use for lunch. Then we tasted some of the fresh fruits.
Next we cooked a massive lunch that included a huge pot of stew pork, a variety of provisions and plantains. It was an unforgettable lunch meal experience, high in the mountains, overlooking the sea in Trinidad!
Again, a huge thank you to Foodie Nation and Uncle Clyde!

I need a uncle like "Uncle Clyde" in my life 🇹🇹 his food looks amazing.
Hey Mark you should go travel to USVI (U.S. Virgin Islands)

Thank you for visiting.
Mark next time you visit Trinidad come to the country side and visit mayaro taste the sea food dishes and alot of ground provisions etc
This makes me feel so happy but yet sad if you understand.
Well! I’d like to rate this my “Favorite Video of 2022”. I’ve been a follower or Mark’s for years AND I absolutely adore Uncle Clyde! Mark, you’ve outdone yourself with this one. Congratulations!!!!!!

Hello mark. Hopefully in future you will take one of your fans with you to your tour…
I havent been home in soo long mark wow thank you for enjoying my country’s food 🫶🏽 Trinidad loves u fr 🇹🇹
Been watching mark’s video for the past 5 years and I love every video
the chocolate tea looks more like a fancy hot chocolate.
The Tom Tom is a nod to our West African heritage. Called fufu on the African continent (any pounded starchy root vegetable). I recall my grandmother pounding plantain in her mortar and pestle. Delicious!!
Wow never knew in Paramin they eat Tomtom true Creole name for the mash starch vegetable. African root inspired dish.
Special experience, I'm just smiling, I know that food is good 👍
Makes me want to move back home.
hey Mark hope you come to Australia, you've been everywhere but no videos on Australia
Mark I have been watching your videos for almost 4 years now. Every video is the perfect balance of culture, food, kindness, excitement and it's sheer amazement from yourself. I love watching your videos and learning all about the different places and ingredients that different cultures use.
I like this girl she is very beautiful ❤️❤️😘
Such delicious foods.
Mmmmmmm…
Been following and watching Mark since his inception. Happy he finally visited my home country. T dad Trini 2 de bone
better belly bust, than good food waste. Love that
now THIS looks like a fun video to make.
Wonderful ppl, naturally flavored authentic seasoning and spice for each menu,gonna visit soon,hi Trinidadians ppl hi Mark ❣️
"if its not seasoned, its not good" almost falls
Awsome here also enjoying Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 The food is outstanding and people so welcoming. Glad you where here Mark. Let me know when you are in the FL Keys. Will love to host you and your family 👪 ❤️
So glad to be traveling with you again.
Trinidad is really beautiful,the scenery is just like Dominica,my island.People are so friendly too.
Dear Mark
Come to in Armenia

I’ve watched all the videos a few times, love seeing uncle Clyde etc .. guys .. just a suggestion.. I’m seeing a lot of the same foods in the review .. alot of focus on doubles etc .. I love doubles don’t get me wrong.. I just think alot is being glossed over. What about other food strips? The one at grand bazaar? Black pudding? The strip in San Fernando I think? The one by centre of excellence side? I know you have limited time but please … show more local dishes not just the ones we love and know. I reallllllly hope that one of his hosts manages to pull of a special dinner where he gets to try a full Christmas feast, ham, pastelle, ponche de crème .. especially sorrel! .. would be a nice way to send him off even though Christmas is some time away.
that was an awesome adventure to watch and the closing Mark it looked like you still tried to keep a steady composure after those whiskey with Uncle Clyde 🙂
This certainly make me want to go to Trinidad but uncle Clive when I come I want goat please
Good job Mr mark
Gotta come to Tobago now
Every time I´m like, yes this is the best series yet….then there is a new one…. every time this is true ❤️
Hey Mark. I came upon this YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCK9GtMNQEmYuuBKaeXmCeg/featured today. Seems like there are lots of your videos reuploaded at the channel. Just letting you know about it.
He's like a chill lil boi enjoying his life ♥️
Remember mama with the chocolate tea, delicious and quite perilous to drink. You can never tell if it's hot or cold at first glance, just ask my aunty lol lips paid the price. Painful yet funny 😂😂 nuff love aunty juilia
If u had stay for Christmas…here nahhhhh u would of get fat😅as a tobagonian🇹🇹 srry u did not get chance to come over for Tobago Carnival🔥🔥🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Amazing place to see , the food they are making makes me healthy made all from scratch 💖🙏 thank you Mark I like the recordings shout-out from the Philippines ❤️
Great series…Coco Tea..there is nothing as comforting as this beverage🙂😊. Fond memories from childhood . Bake and Salt Fish…I'm salivating
That coconut bake looks so good. I love coconut and I love bread so it’s only natural. See this is why I cannot understand ppl who only add salt and black pepper to food and call it seasoning. Look at the bounty of herbs and spices, you can imagine the smell and taste through the screen 🤤… I love that philosophy “better belly buss than good food waste!”
That woman is ridiculously beautiful.
Yessssss big up trinidad 🇹🇹 💪
