Picture of paradise

Brian Monteith has sent me this photo. He thinks it will cheer me up (see previous post). He took it in Trinidad - where he is currently working - and he describes the location thus:

"It's the 'local' beach of Port of Spain - although it's over a mountainside to get to it. It's called 'Maracas' and as well as being beautiful it has a wonderful local delicacy called Bake n' Shark. It's a sort of fried leavened pitta bread with a slice of grilled shark meat served with hot pepper and chilli sauce, garlic and salad - all folded together - it's delicious. Probably a UN research paper is being written up to say it's a threat to sharks and will cause heart disease. Fuck 'em, I say!"

I was there in '86. My Trinidadian friend Nic described the Bake'n'Shark to me as a Trinidadian Doner.

Excellent!
