I agree and a roasy yampain would go down ncie with that. Cameme allu wicked wi. Some of us doh have that….we live in booneyville…we doh have that.
I meant a ROAST yampain would go down NICE….
we call it cacoa tea and fig in Dominica so who cares what other people call it. Of course some people think they civilised because they left DOminica and other people tell them what to call what we have at home. Who said they were right and we are wrong.
Never see come see come crazy. Love that song. That food looking goooood. I nice lamowee and fig. I myself I live in the States and put blows on my local food all the time. It doesn;t taste the same as our lovely dominican food but so be it. HAWASON is my fav.
bonj…a lil picture wii of 1 of our traditional breakfast…i seeing people writing sum mess up tings dur bout emergency room n cacoa tea not tea and how u gan get high blood pressure from salt fish…lmao. Only on dominica news online u can find them tings there. brings back memories of kairi fm talk shows in the morning…hhahahahahaha!
I telling you, I just don’t understand our people…so ignorant and over what nah..a salfish breakfast that I would put a blows on right now…I really feel disappointed when people make something so simple, so innocent as a breakfast into a negative vibes….relax my people. FOR CHRIST SAKE!

Ou tot sot tan…
Jennifer Baron, excellent photo of a Dominica dish. Did you have to do that to us? It looks so delicious. I can very well imagine that many of DON readers went out to purchase especially “the figs – green bananas and codfish.”
When I viewed the picture of the plate I said: Oh my! How beautiful and delicious!”
Viewing this plate made me so hungry, even though I was not hungry. If I could have taken that plate right out of the computer screen I would have done it.
Now you have us, especially those who reside overseas, going to the supermarket/grocery store to purchase especially the figs – green bananas and codfish. I did! Have not yet cooked it but I will soon.
I had previously purchased some codfish to make a green banana – fig pie which I am keeping for some other time.
After I saw your delicious breakfast plate, I purchased some codfish bits and bananas.
There is a grocery store near where I reside which stocks and sells some West Indian foods as bananas, sweet potatoes, figs, plantain, yellow and white yams, cassava etc. Occasionally I purchase some.
I must not forget pigs feet, hocks, oxtail and more… as red beans, pigeon and chick peas – I love cooking these. We have it all in Toronto.
There are times I feel that my body yearns for West Indian foods and so I purchase some. Our root vegetables are also tomatoes and cucumbers, red and green peppers, etc., directly grown from the soil. They are healthy to eat.
As in everything, moderation in eating is essential.
In this City of Toronto, we also have rice, potatoes, lasagna, pasta, the main meals of some people. Casseroles can also be made with these, no exception in Dominica. We have a variety to choose from.
Nothing beats our West Indian foods which are root vegetables and are healthy.
This is a challenge for Dominican residents. A mid-day meal is next and then a dinner? Making me hungry.
nice dish man makes me feel hungry
HAHAHA… some people really have mauvais manyeh!!! ….. SOME Dominicans like to act up when they see food LOL…all their PIKAHN UP!!… they in a crowd at a party and making noise over food… Look they on the internet typing bad stuff about the person food and taking out maypwi LOL… ZOR NI TWOP MAUVAIS MANYEH!!!

This is what I call a good breakfast. I want it morning, noon and night with just a little more fig. Boy my mouth watering right now. I will prepare the exact same thing tomorrow for breakfast but with cocoa tea. Thoes fig looking nice and fat boy.
Hmmmm..Jenn U have our mouth watering!! Our stomachs await ur scrumptious meals!! Coming soon!
You people need to stop!!! And not forget where you came from. Anything eaten in moderation is ok. I bet you ate more saltfish when you were in DA, did it send you to the hospital?
you are such a DA
You guys know how to make people mouth water lol….That looks delicious
@hmmm(the psycho…:) )
You must have no job to be going all over the place looking for ingredients to make homemade DA food. Its okay that you have no life. But some people that have a 9-5 and kids, school, work don’t have time for all this. Maybe you one of those Dominican in jersey that does do nothing. Well where I am codfis to expensive and as for fig..well you can’t find quality bananas down here. I buying them fig in the morning by the time I get home dem fig ripe…lol. I don’t know what del monte and chiquita doing to dem bananas. You know bloody well some of us don’t like fig stains on our hands. ME myself roseau I from and I never cut no fig in DA, so is not states I will come and peel no fig or dasheen etc. The most I does make in states is DA soup once in a blue moon. Other than that I eat out. Not kfc etc but at local greek, italian, resturants. Pre made food is best. lol Yes when it comes to house work I ‘m very lazy and proud to! Thats why I go to school so I pay them mexicans to clean my house. I doing my part for the betterment of society by employing them! Let people enjoy the little picture and doh be jealous just because you doh have a life and is cook you cooking whole day to make yourself feel important. Nice pic DNO
You are an IGNORANT FOOL!!!! WHO ARE YOU CALLING THEM??????????
There is no need to insult those who comment on this Website. You do not know who they are, what their personal and work schedule is like. Therefore cease speculating and also assuming what they do with their time. It is none of your business anyway.
Eating U.S. Restaurant food consistently and bragging about it? This is nothing to brag about.
If I were you I would not brag about that. Do you know what is in that food, how it is prepared, under what conditions and by whom?
You would do well to save your money; cook some healthy meals at home which would give you strength and keep you healthy.
You stated that you are lazy? Time to overcome your laziness. Laziness will get you nowhere. Spending too much time sleeping and in futility, on the Internet, viewing TV, having a good time and not finding time to cook healthy meals and clean your place of residence? Shame on you!
In years to come, financially and healthily, you will live to regret it, always eating at restaurants. A treat at restaurants and for some good reasons, once in a while is not bad at all.
You should know that restaurants cost money. In the long run, as you age, it could add up to thousands of dollars, weight gain and certain illnesses.
Also paying people to do your housework could make you a poor person. Add the amount of money it costs you on a daily basis, weekly, monthly and annually. You will realize how much money you could have saved during the year and years to come which you could utilize for something important and necessary.
I love home cooking!
Sarcastic much?? You cannot be serious mame. I get yr sacarsm….
Thats my jot. HEB & Sun Harvest always sell green bananas, plantain, tania and salt fish.
MOTH, don’t come with your chinese rice and chicken!
that plate of food doh have enough fig
lol…. you like fig
It’s GREEN BANANAS….NOT FIG. Fig is something entirely diff… don’t get it twisted peeps!!
You need to go home more often. FIG IS FIG IS GREEN BANANAS. Allu go to amerika and forget allu the DA terms. Not fig…..I vex tan. FIG IS BANANAS!!!!!!
Bondiere….some people acting like they have never eaten what is on the plate for years. To those who are in the U.S, Europe or elsewhere stop lying nah? They have cucumbers, codfish, tomatoes, plantains etc…(anything you can find at the market in Roseau) in supermarkets here. I am in the U.S and I don’t miss any of those foods because I spend time preparing the foods I used to eat back home to eat. Some of you so lazy to prepare a meal ],just live on mcdonalds , KFC, burgerking, pizza hut, dominoes etc and when you all see people adveritise their dishes want to come and say all you mouth watering or drooling or whatever. Go cook …feyen.. All you doh want all you hands to get dirty.
All you lie, all you doh miss pies patat manger.
Lol @ “feyen” & “all you doh miss pies patat manger.”……”HMMMMMM(the psychic)” kay twchway mwen jordi ah, LMAO. Dat fyon not for me kahmeme, hehehehehee I does cook all my Dominicans foods bcuz I love to cook & prefer my home-cooked meals…. fast food is just for treat now & again. You make my day bwoy! All now so I have a nice coubouyon with some red fish I bring up dere. But I doh see with you nah self…..you know if dem ppl know how to cook?
Where I live in the states Dont have fig green banan n such.. to get stuff like this I have to drive to another state. So HUSH YOUR MOUTH!!!!
lol.
You can get fig, provision and stuff like that in the states but it’s not the same…you cook that fig and two minutes it’s so hard it can be used as a murder weapon…I’m a born American to Dominican parents and I go home every summer and I love the fig….can’t eat saltfish or tomato but give me a broth fig and back & neck, a dry avocado from morpo and a tall glass of passion fruit juice any day. I eat that for breakfast at least twice when I’m in Dominica….
why allu doing me these thingsssss??? my mouth watering dere wiiii..boyyy i so miss dem ting..ALL THAT MISSING IS A NICE HOT MASTIF AND A NICE CUP OF KACOA TEA!!!!!!!!!! YESSSS THAT IS DE TING!!!! LOL
Correction, cocoa is not tea (coffee, Milo, chocolate and many more you consider is tea, they are not ok) don’t be angry! Just think of it as an educational lesson, take care… catfish or salt fish, are good but not to eat often? It will give you high blood pressure, and will send anyone to the emergency room.
Stups…who is dat “me” that wanna come here acting all educated talking bought cocoa is not tea……u from DA? U know what the person talking bought nuh? stups…jus enjoy d picture nuh
Exactly………..”me” to fresh…affwayier.
justice sala d them lmao!! woye i’ll return home soon!!
hahahaha….emergency room. wer u learn dem lessons dur na…i doe tink u fr dominica na pal…lol
I think you went above you correction lesson….U send a Maypwie too
cocoa is not tea and coffee is tea?
coffee is coffee…….
Is toothpaste Colgate?
But “me” is so we does say it back home….I want my tea (regardless if it’s not lipton or red rose or tea bags/leaves). You dere playing top educator……who says catfish/salt fish not good & can send u hospital jess like dat? Much like any other foods that we cook, if foods are not prepared in the healthy way, they will be detrimental to one’s health. I know ppl who wash out ALL the salt from their codfish, and neither do they fry their regular fish. Ok!
I want to sincerely apologize to all the bloggers. My apology goes out to all who find my comment is a nuisance, sorry! WHY MEEEEEEEEE, I am very sorry for my comment
HOLLLLL YOUR AYYNEE!!!

some of you are such fools try to read between the lines
When we call them ting Tea we know it is not technically tea. It’s just a Dominican thing man. Some ppl just too fast.
BONDYAY OYYY!!!YOU WANT TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ON WHAT TEA IS? ANYTHING THAT HOT IS TEA AND THAT’S HOW WE CHOOSE TO CALL IT WHETHER YOU AGREE OR NOT..CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT AND LEAVE EVRYBODY ELSE ALONE..SOME PEOPLE TOO SO!!!!
How did a plate of GREEN BANANAS, Codfish and some veggies turn into a discussion about TEA? Typical Dominicans… Just strayin from the TOPIC. Tell them about FISH they’ll end up with something about Pork!
This looks absolutely delicious!!! The more I look at it, my mouth can’t stop watering and I could do with some right now!!!! Hhhmmmnnnnn….
dat looking too dry
I Know. I could eat some myself right now, along with some hot KACOA tea.
i coming for breakfast tomorrow………..
Its lunch time now and boy are you making me feel hungry. I am sure having fig and salfish for lunch tomorrow..yes with the cucumbers and saltfish.
Cuz, all I know is when I come home, I passing by you for my breakie eh. Now that’s a meal I could enjoy.
Looks good but where is are the parsley, celery, chive, flavoring and sweet peppers in the salt fish?
But Mercury I seeing peppers and onions in de pic – look again! You never see that you put all your parsley, celery, & chives…..I put ONLY ONION & GARLIC and mine would still taste better than yours? All de extra flavorings I leave dat for when I making sancoche. Me self don’t like all dem fings when I doing de codfish dat way (i.e to eat with fig etc) – ONLY ONION GARLIC & MINE DOES BE DA BOMB so leave Ms. Baron alone.
Mercury – is not sancoche that is there.
MERCURY,GO AND MEET PLUTO!!!!!
lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll waylaylay
I in that!!!
I was at her home the morning that was prepared and she had some nice cocoa with coconut milk and thicken with a little flour and well of course I got my share. The cucumber and the fig came from her backyard garden (organic for sure).
how you know it’s organic? who knows what was spread on the soil in her back yard before the cucumber and fig were planted?
Bonjay zor pas feb nuh papa…just take de comment as being “to de best of de person’s knowledge” nah. Allu want to be too picky & politically correct about minor things. Cha man! To de best of “Watching!” knowledge de produce is organic – case closed!
How can you just keep a case closed?
so much pissa that was may poured on that soil , no wonder it was so delicious
wait taill I got there myself mwen vle samwen to
I need that food to be part of the lifting up of my spirit goooood food
myack myack,,, a bunch of inorganic tomatoes and cucumbers that in the plate,,, eat n eat more to ur bad health,,,, until our farmers get back their real seeds,,, don’t know how that gonna happen since we gave them all away,,, then we’ll just be eating more poison,,,, well lemme go by ball-heads
But what happen to some ppl nah? How do you know the veges are inorganic? Do you know if the person grew them in their back yard? Mouth of the south you’re always on DNO spewing BS.
why do you guys respond to this idiot.The individual has nothing to do but sit around all day and comment on everything. that is the only thing which makes the individual important. Let’s give them some silent treatment and we will see how quick the tone will change.
wow an idiot,,,, wat has i said that would warrant such judgement,,,, i’m simply asking us to be health concious but here u are saying that MOTS is an idiot,,, i won’t cast judgement on u but do hope u use ur intelligence to uplift others,,, besides mots don’t ask n e one to respond to my posts,,, mots started posting like every other blogger,,,, some bloggers posts bring discussion some do not,,, i jus happen to be one of the bloggers whose post bring a level of discussion whether u agree to disagree or not,,, no tone will change cuz i post cuz i can and not cuz i want u ALAS to reply to my posts,,,
WHERE IS THE CHATROOM DNO HAD? WE NEED ONE
u and ‘watching’ seem to believe once food is planted in a backyard it’s organic… let me explain organic food are ones grown completely natural with no chemicals and are not ‘genetically’ modified,,,, whereas inorganic food most times have chemicals but most importantly are ‘genetically’ modified,,,, so some one can grow tomatoes n cucumber in their backyard which is genetically modified,,, which is the case of most of our seeds in dominica,,, our farmers did away with there natural seeds,,,, they are more concern with making a quick buck than ensuring their customers eat healthy,,,, so whoever she got her seeds from,,, worse yet if bought in a store,,, most probably its inorganic
Stupes to all of allu tan… MOTS just STFU.
mouth of the south shut up. We know what organic and inorganic is. Tonney, where you think we from nuh? Mars man? Take you mouth down south and leave it there.
But allu cannot see sarcasm then? Bondiay oh???
Mouth of the South, you need to shut up for once. You have to give a stupid and ignorant comment on everything. If you don’t have anything to say, just keep your mouth shut. Try not to be so negative towards your own fellow Dominicans. At least some of them can say they are planting their own fruits and vegetables, trying to support themselves. I wish you would do the same. STUPES.
hey heyy leave MOTS alone eh everybody have a right to comment, im not too fond of the breakfast either so what? stupes.
Hmmm………..that tomato come our Salisbury wi pal! ….Food like that “Mouth of the South” needs…to make him belch!
LOL!
Umm Ummm…Ummm…
That plate is too small. Just three pieces of fig? There would be a fight in the kitchen if you put that little bit on my plate…..
LOL. I know right? But it’s all good. Portion control man.
Fig will go by age as in the olden days (joke given by one who experienced such – 1 year – i fig 2 yrs – 2 figs etc…)
@ Really Concerned…. IT’s breakfast not lunch.. There’s no need to have 10 pcs of Green Banana. TOO greedy
Isnt breakfast the most important meal of the day? haha…
Hmm, Bon Appetite.
After staringgggg at this food for a long time i am forced to go to the store after work to pruchase some saltfish and cuccumbers since i already have the bananas and tomatoes…. That ish looks finger lookingggg good…… why ya’ll gotta do that to us..
Now Jennifer, tell me why you did that to me? Now that is finger licking good. Thanks for memory of good times.
man this is some good breakfast right there
stop making peeps in the diaspora mouth water nah,,, u know is chinese rice n chicken they eating already lol
Don’t get it twisted mots, I’ll be preparing that up in New Jersey tomorrow morning.
Me too! Tomorrow, Saturday morning, prepared early, in the kitchen of my Toronto apartment unit. I going to shop for the provisions today.
