There are a few things us Trinis like the most: food, fetes, and Carnival. Since we couldn’t grace the streets of Port of Spain for Carnival, we decided to recreate one of our street food favorites. Boiled corn is simply a Caribbean take on corn on the cob. It is chock full of herbs and spices - so it makes for a delicious treat!

Take it up a notch

We love eating boiled corn by itself, but it can also be eaten as a side dish. To make your corn spicier, add more pepper sauce - but be careful - only add as much as you can handle!
