I think Falafel is the Arabic style.

It looks like doo doo. </div></div>

Mango chutney, for example, can have that effect.

I wasn't surprised when I saw that there was a community of Trinidadians who have settled in that city and latched on to a Caribbean style restaurant to cash in on visiting West Indian Cricketers etc. We can presume that they are all Indians returning to the Motherland to settle and make a living but when they chose to exploit "Jamaican Food, Reggae music and Bob Marley by calling their restaurant a "Jamaican Restaurant" though they are selling "jerk" chicken, it makes me cringe and wonder how authentic they are...

I have no problem with them selling Jamaican food as part of their menu but to call their outfit a "Jamaican Restaurant" run by a bunch Trinidadian East Indians, I believe is a stretch if it's not owned and operated by a Jamaican at least for starters... I believe the "Jamaican Branding" should be protected; what if they sell some strange unpopular Indian food and call it Jamaican"? there goes our reputation! They should be investigated by our Diplomatic Dept and if needs be, make them play by our Rules and standards...

'knock-off' Jamaican cuisine (if there is such a thing) by East Indian Trinis is the least of Jamaica's problems where its reputation is concerned.

NO! not at all, Gungo, I'm serious. It may seem trivial cause it's food, but there's a principle the way I see it. Food more than many other things in a society are by nature and origin uniquely cultural mainly because of strict preparation guidelines and how it's really done... ~ Gungo, would you buy a "Jamaican meal" for consumption from an eskimo or a Tasmanian tribesman because they told you it was Jamaican? I dont think so... My main point is, why should a bunch of Trinidadian Indians get away with opening a restaurant in India, call it "a Jamaican Restaurant" to exploit our "name and branding" Why not call it a "Trinidadian Restaurant"?

I haven't had poulourie in a long time.
It is quite tasty...although I have never had it with that brown looking dipping sauce. It have had it with a curry looking/tasting type sauce.

I have had it from Trini's and Guyanese.
