PUBLISHER’S NOTE

B

arbados Foodie Magazine is born from our love and passion for all things food and drink related! We opened Cutters Crane Beach Deli in 2006, as we could not find the right place to hang out and enjoy simply delicious food in a warm setting. After years and years of learning where to go and who to call to get the good stuff by word of mouth and hearsay we thought it is time to share – Foodie Magazine is the resource for where to go to get the good stuff. Barbados has an amazing selection of gourmet and health conscious suppliers available as well as large established suppliers that sell the good stuff wholesale and who will also sell to an individual. In this launch edition our Food section looks at what is Balsamic Vinegar; has a discussion on the amazing brand of Green Monkey Chocolatier; and in Eat Bajan we learn about the Breadfruit and what to do with it. In our Drink section we visit with Charles Mackenzie from Caribbean Brew House; have a comprehensive and somewhat humorous history of

rum told by Richard Seale; and in our Word to the Wise column some tips on avoiding hangovers when drinking wine. Our Shop category visits with Eddie Juman who is taking Continental Foods to new levels; and in Market Vendor we meet Wellington at the Oistins Fish Market. In Things to do we take a tour of the larger Farmers Markets on island. Lastly in Food for Thought we learn about cane syrup and have a whole meal prepared by Chef Gaby each recipe using Rum Punch – now that’s a challenge. We will bring Barbados Foodie out each December and July available free throughout the island; we hope you enjoy reading this publication as much as we did creating it. Roger & Kim Goddard

TRADITIONAL MODENA BALSAMIC VINEGAR: WHAT IS IT REALLY AND HOW IS IT USED?

T

raditional Modena Balsamic Vinegar ripens in dark and silent aging rooms; it is refined and aged for years through a series of barrels of different woods. Following DOP regulations, the raw material used to make Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena comes from the Trebbiano grape variety, which have been grown for centuries in the province of Modena. There are four main steps to create vinegar: 1) picking the grapes, 2) crushing them, 3) cooking them and most importantly 4) aging the vinegar. The aging stage requires the most skill and attention. Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena ages in a row of barrels of decreasing size: each barrel is topped up every year with vinegar coming from the larger one next to it, where the product has absorbed the flavors of a different wood for each size. Its unique traditional taste is a balance of sweet and sour, full, generous, savory, with velvety nuances in tune with its olfactory features. Traditional

10

Food

FOODIE.BB

Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is bright and dark brown in color; dense, yet free-flowing and smoothly syrupy. In fine cuisine, Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is used on fresh and steamed vegetables; as a base for sauces; as a final touch to fish or meat dishes; and even to top strawberries and vanilla ice cream. It is impossible to define a precise dosage for such a versatile and “individualist” product; however, some suggestions are offered by the past few centuries’ experience. Quantity should be barely a teaspoon per person. For fresh vegetables, the correct sequence is salt, Balsamic and olive oil. For cooked dishes, Balsamic should be added shortly before removing from the heat, so that it can flavor the preparation without dissipating the complexity of its aroma. For hot dishes served in individual plates, add Balsamic just before serving.

THE BREW HOUSE

C

harles Mackenzie started The Brew House in 2014 out of necessity. Traveling abroad he would bring back home brewing kits to make enough ‘decent tasting beer’ for himself. Soon the word was out and his friends and family wanted some too. The Brew House has grown from strength to strength, now an artisanal local microbrewery, dedicated to creating fantastic, distinctive hand crafted ales one small batch at a time. The brewing process is extremely “hands on” and a great deal of attention to detail is put into every batch of high quality craft beer created. They are dedicated to producing refreshing beers that offer imagination and a flavorful profile. With the mission to expand our minds in Barbados on what good beer should taste like, a pint should invoke an emotional, contemplative response in the drinker. It should strike the perfect balance between, aroma, taste, malt complexity, and hop flavor/ bitterness. The folks behind The Brew House love beer and want you to love it too. 12

Beer is composed of four essential ingredients; malted barley, water, yeast, and hops. At The Brew House, they carefully select ingredients from all over the world employing every ingredient for a specific reason and purpose. The core beers represent a variety of beer styles focusing on aroma, mouth feel and flavour. They produce their beers year round in 354 ml bottles or 20-liter kegs.  http://caribbeanbrewhouse.com

BARBADOS RUM & FOURSQUARE BY RICHARD SEALE

R

um is the alcoholic spirit obtained by distilling fermented molasses a valuable by product of the manufacture of sugar cane. The production of rum originated in the 1640s in Barbados, the Dutch having brought sugar cane to Barbados in 1637. The Dutch occupied nearby Pernambuco (now Recife) in Brazil. Sugar cane and sugar making had been there for about a century but the Dutch occupation of Pernambuco was heavily resisted, eventually being expelled in 1654. Setting up sugar production in Barbados was probably done by the Dutch to protect their valuable trade. Richard Ligon (1673), the earliest historian of Barbados records: “At the time we landed on this Island, which was in the beginnings of September, 1647, we were informed, partly by those Planters we found there, and partly by our own observation, that the great works of Sugar-making, was but newly practiced by the inhabitants there. Some of the most industrious men, having gotten Plants from Pernambuco, a place in Brazil, and made trial of them at the Barbados;” The earliest record of rum distillation anywhere also comes from Ligon: “The drink of the Island, which is made of the skimmings of the Coppers, that boil the Sugar, which they call Kill-Devil.” Ligon observes that by the time he left in 1650 sugar production had become very efMicient and proMitable. By this time, it was common for large sugar plantations to have still houses. “As for distilling the skimmings, which run down to the Stillhouse, from the three lesser Coppers, it is only this: After it has remained in the Cisterns, which my plot show, you in the Still -house, till it be a little sour, (for till then, the Spirits will 14

not rise in the Still) the Pirst Spirit that comes off, is a small Liquor, which we call low-wines, which Liquor we put into the Still, and draw it off again; and of that comes so strong a Spirit, as a candle being brought to a near distance the Spirits will Ply to it.” The Dutch, experts in distillation at the time also brought these techniques together with sugar technology to the Island. It is believed the name rum was derived from the word ‘rumbullion’ meaning ‘a great tumult’ which seems likely considering its well-documented effects. In 1651, we have the only known link between rum and rumbullion. Giles Silvester, a resident of Barbados wrote: “the chief fudling they make in the Iland is Rumbullion, als Kill Divill” The earliest use of the term ‘rum’ is in a Barbadian plantation deed from 1658, which listed Three Houses Estate as having “four large mastic cisterns for liquor for rum”. THE GOLDEN ERA Ligon records that some Barbados Rum “fell to the ships and is transported to foreign ports and drunk by the way”. Maritime tradition may have thus helped spread the taste of rum to the Atlantic world. The 18th century was the golden era for Rum. In 1768, on the eve of American Revolution Barbados exported a remarkable 6m litres of rum, two-thirds of it to the American colonies where Rum was the drink of choice. By 1741, Rum imports from Barbados and Jamaica to England exceeded Brandy imports and would do so for the balance of the century. “Barbados...home of the famous spirit known as Rum which by some persons is preferred to Brandy...It is said to be very



wholesome and therefore supplied in the place of brandy in punch. Indeed it is much better than malt spirits and the sad liquor sold by our [English] distillers” JOHN OLDMIXION, COLONIAL HISTORIAN 1708 The early threat of rum to brandy interests in France led to the Royal Decree of Louis XIV in 1713 banning all nongrape based alcoholic beverages. This act would set off a chain of economic events that would ultimately lead up to the American Revolution. In 1776, North American ports were closed to most British colonial traders and the rum trade was devastated. Barbados in particular was hard hit. New American nationalism associated Barbados rum with colonial dependence and led to the growth of American Whiskey, which was also aided by the removal of the whiskey tax in 1802. In short order, whiskey rather than rum became the American drink of choice. The loss of the American market had a long lasting effect on Barbados rum exports and the 19th century was one of continued decline. Smuggling during prohibition saw Barbados rum exports rise from 27,000 litres in 1916 to 661,000 litres in 1922 almost all recorded as being shipped to the “British West Indies”, that is The Bahamas to facilitate eventual smuggling to the United States. Ironically, prohibition would once again reacquaint Americans with the taste of Barbados rum. Rekindled Rum exports would grow significantly through the latter half of the 20th century and the Island’s revenue from rum would surpass sugar in 2004 and every year since. 16

FOURSQUARE Foursquare dates to the 1730s when it made sugar syrup and rum. Converted to steam in 1867, it became a fullfledged sugar factory until its closure in 1988. The Seale family, independent blenders and bottlers of rum since 1926 acquired the historic Foursquare property in 1995 and once again the site was returned to rum making. Today’s the island leading local rums ‘Old Brigand’ and ‘ESA Field White’ Rum are distilled, aged and blended at Foursquare in addition to the historic ‘Doorlys’ range which is exported globally. Limited signature releases of the Distillery are released under the Foursquare label and are some of the most sought after rums in the world. The provenance of Barbados rum is a legacy that lasts through to this day. In 2016, Foursquare won the Rum Trophy and the award for Rum Producer of the Year at both of London’s leading spirits competitions in an unprecedented double. At the International Wine & Spirits Competition in 2016, Foursquare dominated with Mive of the nine Golds in the rum category from over a hundred global entries. Earlier this year, Foursquare took the Rum Trophy and the Rum Producer award for the second year running at the International Spirits Challenge with six Golds.  https://www.rumsixtysix.com

SUGAR CANE JUICE BY ANNA WARREN

their colonies in South America and the Caribbean Island. In the last few centuries a large number of sugar refineries were build for the widespread production of refined sugar. The recent trend toward more whole foods and nutrition value of food has created a new demand for less refined sugar and sugar cane juice products. A fun aside, less than 50 years ago ‘white sugar’ was not available in Barbados and when families would travel they would bring back a few pounds for delicacies such as sponge cakes. Cane Syrup is made from the cane juice obtained by crushing the sugar cane stalks. Cane juice contains only sugar and water but it is the right kind of sugar – unrefined. While most people prefer it neat, other may choose to enhance it with lemon juice, rock salt, or mint leaves.

W

hen St. Nicholas Abbey shared their gourmet sugar cane syrup with us it opened up a lot of questions on the history of sugar cane juice/ syrup and what makes it unique. The cultivation of sugar cane is ancient, originating out of New Guinea about 10,000 years ago. From there it spread around the globe, most prominently in India. Around the 8th century, the Moors changed the way the world used sugarcane by learning the secret of processing the sugarcane into refined sugar from the Indians. The English speaking colonies shipped sugar back to Britain in a raw form as muscovado or straw sugar as refineries such as Taite & Lyle held monopolies of refining. Starting in Spain, the use and processing of sugar spread throughout Europe. Sugar refining varied in color, size, form, and molasses content based on the processing techniques used and the preferences of the region in which it was produced. Christopher Columbus introduced sugar to the New World with the European countries quickly introducing sugarcane cultivation into 18

Cane juice contains no simple sugar; hence, diabetics can enjoy it without any compromise to their health. Regular consumption of cane juice not only results in stable glucose levels but also helps in weight loss due to its low glycemic index. Cane juice can be easily digested, it provides instant energy and hydration and is alkaline in nature to help fight against cancer. It contains several essential nutrients, such as calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium and phosphorous. Refined sugar is devoid of all nutrients and minerals. All these benefits and it tastes great! We have been using St. Nicholas Abbey’s natural cane syrup on our morning oatmeal, as a sweetener in curries, in cocktails, on ice cream and our kids have enjoyed it on their pancakes! A visit to St. Nicholas Abbey shows the cane is still ground using the 1950’s steam mill and they ferment and distill their world-class single cask rums directly from the Cane Syrup as opposed to Molasses.  http://stnicholasabbey.com

A DISTRIBUTOR WITH A CONSCIENCE

I

n 2008, Andrew and Sandie Niven; originally from the south coast of the UK, decided to make a new home for themselves in Barbados. They set up Niven Distribution, an import wholesale and distribution company that was later followed by a wine division called Wine Barbados. Fast track nearly ten years, today Niven Distribution supplies most of the hotels, restaurants, bars, and supermarkets on the island. Niven Distribution supplies a variety of products and is chosen for their quality and good value, for both commercial and private customers. Whether you are looking for cooking oils, French fries, cheese, buKer, welsh lamb, Scottish salmon or anything else for that matter Niven Distribution is here to help. Wine consumption has grown tremendously over the past ten years in Barbados. Wine Barbados imports a great selection of wines from all over the globe to meet the growing demand. They work with some of the major wine merchants with help from their partner, Roger Wilcocke, who runs the UK office. Wine Barbados now supplies many hotels and restaurants and also has a private wine membership of over 2,500 people. Members are able to order online and take advantage of their free delivery service.

“We also find that many visitors come back to us year after year sometimes ordering online ahead of their vacation, which we then deliver to wherever they are staying on the island when they get here.” - Andrew Niven Their son, Harrison, has recently joined the company and has helped form Niven Eco Oil, part of their environmental responsibility and recycling programme to help keep Barbados green and clean. All cooking oils sold to hotels and restaurants across Barbados are picked up by Niven Eco Oil, to ensure that all oil is disposed of safely and is recycled into bio diesel. Andrew is looking forward to eventually retiring in Barbados although both Sandie and Harrison are not convinced that is going to happen anytime soon. Their warehouses and wine store are situated at The Ellco Complex in Ellerton, St George.

MARKET VENDOR BY ROGER GODDARD

FISH! A child’s first word is magical - mothers nurture (& hope) it will be “ma-ma”; fathers hope for “da-da”. My Dad’s (Phillip) first words were “FLYING FISH!” learned from vendors pushing their carts through the neighborhood and hollering out the day’s fresh catch. These days the cart won’t come to your house, but you can still find your favorite mongers around Barbados’ fish markets. In the south, our go-to is the Oistins Berinda Cox Fish Market. Many first-time visitors to Oistins will go for the Friday evening fish-fry; it’s a wonderful evening of seasoned dishes, libation and dancing. But the best way to experience the market is in the day for the fresh fish to take home and enjoy! The market is open 7 days a week, gets going around 24

10am and wraps up before 8pm. Often, boats return late afternoon – if the timing’s right you could get lucky finding a fresh tuna around 3 pm. Best to arrive with an ice cooler and cash in smaller bills - figure $15 per person - a pack of 10 flying fish varies in price, $25 at time of print. Also figure on waiting your turn to be served and fending off a few flies and water splashes from the fish cleaners - nothing too terrible. But not a bad idea to bring a beer along and enjoy the experience. We have often been asked where to get a fair deal; we have purchased from a number of the vendors in Oistins - all being descent - still, over the last ten years we have made arrangements with the Rowe family; Wellington, Pat, and Mario Rowe. They are at the market all days except Monday. Phone ahead 233-6103 or 231-0221 to see what’s fresh and get your order in the queue.


try the flying fish steamed with cou-cou, and the dolphin smoked for a salad. Any leftovers use for a fish shepherd’s pie. King Fish (wahoo) and Barracuda are available most times - $9 /lb is about right. Their mild flavor makes for a great lunch salad – sautéed in butter & herbs, keep the wine handy. Marlin (bill fish) tends to come in frozen but serves up very well – and its yield is higher due to the fish’s size. Going about $9.50 /lb this one has some texture and is great for grilling (a few hours’ marinade should be set aside – cannot rush a good thing)

Some of the most common fish you’ll find are: 1) Flying Fish and Dolphin (mahi) which tend to run together – fresh catch is best between December and April. Flying fish filets are sold in packs of ten, priced at between $15 and $25 a pack. Figure about 3 filets per person. Dolphin is sold by weight ranging from $8 to $10 a pound whole – after cleaning the yield is about 65% of what you buy- be sure to specify how you want the cuts, either left as a whole loin or cut into steaks. These fish are traditionally served fried; also

Should you happen to see rock-lobster $18 /lb or octopus (sea-cat) $13 - grab ‘em. In ten years of visits we’ve had about 30% sightings – Bajan ciappino!! Rightly, Bajans know how to season fish – pre-mixed seasonings are plentiful – your own blend might be preferable. If you want to try your hand, get some herbs from the veggie vendors in the market – we visit a lady named Cheryl (phone 267 9606) for bonnie peppers, thyme, and chives. We hope you enjoy meeting the folks at Oistins and bring home some flavors of your own.

This is the Saturday morning hangout for gourmands and people who want the freshest produce, locally made treats and a great breakfast featuring as a highlight “Pilebuck’s Coffee”. Set on the grounds of an old sugar plantation, the market comes with open-air seating – picnic tables with umbrellas placed around a Flamboyant tree looking down the rolling green hills and over the well supplied kiddie playground. Lots of parking, well labeled, is readily available across the road. Located in the parish of St. George in the middle of the island, the grounds are framed by massive, mature Shak Shak trees and bounded by a sugar cane fields. Those in the know arrive before 7am with eco-conscious cloth shopping bags in hand to get the best of the market goods, a prime seat under the umbrellas and some of the freshly made foods and drinks on sale. While the setting is very much in keeping with the plantation days of yesteryear, this is definitely not your oldtime market. Produce, with the exception of the a few fruits that you can have sliced into portions, is already bagged and price-labeled for your convenience. A few imported veggies 30

EAT BAJAN – BREADFRUIT! BY THOMAS LOFTFIELD

to other exotic fruits like breadnut, jackfruit, figs and mulberries. It has thick skin, outlined with many markings. These markings represent one of the key differences for a breadfruit from any other fruit. A breadfruit grows from a cluster of flowers with each flower making a mark on the skin; this is called a multiple fruit. Most fruit grows from just a single flower. The fruit itself is spongy and bread-like on the inside. In Barbados, there are two main types: yellow and white heart. The yellow has a slightly sweeter flavor and is best for roasting. The white heart is typically for boiling in soups or with other vegetables. Both types are good for frying and steaming.

A

part of the Bajan food culture is to roast a breadfruit on an open fire. A breadfruit tree typically grows to a height of 80 feet producing over 150 fruits per crop and bears for 50+ years! It grows abundantly on the island and when bearing there’ll be large fruits the size of a football dotted around the tree between its beautiful lush leaves. The notion of importing breadfruit from Tahiti was to provide food security for the island. Land produced a higher return on investment if planted in sugar cane than in foods, but breadfruit could be planted in unproductive areas like St. John’s hills and gullies. Captain Bligh (really Lieutenant Blight at the time) was sent in 1789 to Tahiti in command of His Majesty’s Armed Vessel Bounty, a merchant ship purchased by the Royal Navy for the purpose. This was the vessel and the voyage famed in the Mutiny on the Bounty. After surviving his epic 3600-mile voyage in an open longboat, and his subsequent court martial, Captain Bligh was sent back to Tahiti as master and Commander of HMS Providence to get the breadfruit in 1793, a mission he accomplished successfully on this second attempt. Breadfruit belongs to the Moraceae family and is related 34

Just as the name indicates, this is a fibrous starch; a cup of breadfruit provides approximately 60 grams of carbohydrates. It is also moderately high in Vitamin C, riboflavin, magnesium and potassium. It is lower on the glycemic index than potatoes. A roasted breadfruit results in tender flesh and a slightly roasted flavor. To bake, rinse the skin, cut in half and place cut side down on an oiled baking sheet or in a shallow baking pan with 1⁄2–3⁄4 inch (1–2 cm) of water. It can also be cooked whole; wrapped in aluminum foil to keep the flesh moist. Bake at 190–205°C for one hour or until the fruit can be easily pierced with a fork. Once roasted the flesh can be cut into strips and marinated in your favorite flavors then put on the grill or under the broiler. An old time Bajan, Kathleen Loftfield (AKA Edghill), says Breadfruit Cou-cou is the way to use the versatile fruit. She suggests peeling and boiling it then mashing it all up with butter and some stock that it was cooked in. Use as a starch base with a difference!!! It loves gravy! An alternative to potatoes in every way, try making your own breadfruit chips. Peel and cut into quarters and soak in salt water with a bit of turmeric added. Drain, thinly slice, fry in coconut oil and sprinkle with salt and chili powder – yum.

A WORD TO THE WISE – HANGOVERS & WINE BY DANIEL LAMBERT

Generally speaking, mass market Wines will be sourced juice from a number of sites that could be up to hundreds of miles apart. Nothing wrong with that, apart from the fact that each time you move Wine from one storage vessel to the next you have to introduce SO2 to prevent oxidation from taking place. The larger the brand, again generally speaking, the more movements will take place until the final “blend” is completed.

W

hen it comes to wine and hangovers, in general, it’s pretty much like most things in the world, the better the quality of the product; less side effects. In terms of wine this is referenced by the amount of SO2 used during the production of any wine. So, firstly, it’s important to understand that all Wine requires sulphur to prevent it from turning to either vinegar or getting oxidation. It’s why every bottle of wine will state on the label contains sulphites. However sulphur in small amounts is harmless but the more you add to a wine the higher risk of a hangover. So, I hear you asking: Why would you add more sulphur to a bottle of wine? Well, this is where the quality of wine comes into play. There is quite a difference in production methods for mass market “branded” wines and small independent single vineyard wines. Firstly, there are yields from vines that is the main factor in determining overall quality. Everything else is secondary. 36

FoodforThought FOODIE.BB

The difference with small producers is that generally the grapes are sourced from a very local site and made within a few miles even metres of the vineyards. By default, this means less movement of the juice and hence less SO2 being used. The less SO2, the lesser chance of a hangover reaction. So, what should you look out for on the label to identify these grower wines? Again, the wine industry does try to make it easy for the consumer. Phrases like “Estate Grown” “handpicked” “Chateau or Domaine bottled” are the buzzwords to look for. In French this would be “mis en bouteille a la Propriete/Domaine”. Two ‘grower’ wines available from Platinum Wines are Calmel Joseoh St. Chinian (a red) for $32.50 plus VAT and Calmel Joseph Villa Blanche Chardonnay (a white) for $21.50 plus VAT.  http://platinumwinesbarbados.com
