Faithe’s Most Extraordinary Ackee and Saltfish with Fry Bake

By Faithe Esther Iorfida

Now I know everyone has a favorite food but mine . . . Mmm mmm mmm. I can taste it in my mouth right now but anywho. Let’s take a big bite into my ackee and saltfish with fry bake . . . Mmmm just look at that nice crispy fry bake. It looks like a mountain of Trinidad and Jamaica land but just made into a dish. It smells like an ooowee goodness volcano just running up my nostrils; it’s making my mouth water. It tastes like a whole bunch of different flavors melting into my mouth. It feels like a whole bunch of perfectly cooked vegetables with ackee and saltfish dancing in my mouth. There is a slight crunch from the crispy golden brown fry bake. I can tell it’s freshly made right out of a home cooked kitchen. Normally, I’ll try not to eat all of it at once when my mom will buy it on a Saturday morning. I’ll try to save it for later, but that is really hard because it is so magnificent. Next time you’re feeling adventurous trying a dish from Trinidad and Tobago, you should try ackee and saltfish with fry bake.
