I have thyme growing in my back yard each summer and I have black pepper
in my spice cabinet but no shadon beni around here? My favourite roti used
to have some sort of curry flavour and some hot pepper. I will try grinding
up the cooked peas and making a pocket like you suggest. Wish me luck.
I used to stay at the Avenue House Hotel on Arapita Avenue not too far
from Ganges Street. Probably known as Woodbrook rather than St.James. My
favourite rum shop was the Kong Kow Snackette on Tragarete road.

Thank You Trini Girl
