I cant seem to get pigtails in London anymore! My mum used a cook a big pot of Stew peas and rice and it was delicious. I know how to cook it but cannot seem to source the pigtails. Anyone living in London know where I can get them?

Ah feel like a bowl right now! Would add some dumplings too that recipe though, for added carbs as well as a soup thickener

Hi Chris

BBQ pigtails are great. Just like Barbados they are sold, especially on a Friday and Saturday, on the side of the road. Try them.

Jeannette, thanks for stopping by and commenting. Funny thing is I only just set some seeds to get ready for the spring to plant in my garden. I’ve posted a couple pepper sauce recipes so far and will we posting more in the weeks to come. You can get the recipes sent to you by getting the newsletter (see top right of the page).

happy cooking

Aileen, PR is one of my favourite places.. especially old San Juan. Thanks for stopping by, commenting and sharing the similarities. The absolute best pork I’ve ever had was in San Juan…can’t remember the name of the restaurant now though (corona was too cheap that day).

happy cooking

Hi Chris,
I just wanted to say that I am about to make your oxtail stew. I cleaned, washed and seasoned them last night, so now I am ready to begin the real cooking. Wish me luck! I am not worried about cooking, I am just a little concerned about the brown sugar. I hope it doesn’t come out sweet. As for your pigtail recipe that sounds delicious. Where I’m from (Puerto Rico) we make a similar dish. We use salted pigs feet with either pink beans or garbanzos. OMG! That is to die for. As for your green sauce, its very similar to our recao except that we do not use celery and thyme. Well, continue posting fabulous recipes! I love anything from the Caribbean! The food is fresher tasting and comforting!

Hi Chris

I have been enjoying reading all of your recipes you have been sending me. I love pigtail . Pigtail & stew chicken, Pigtail in
all different kind of soups also in rice and pea.

Can you send me different kinds of recipes on Scotch Bonnett
pepper sauces. I have lots of peppers and I only make pickles
with them.
Would appreciate it if you could send me some recipes on
some Trini pepper sauces.

Thanks

Suzette, sounds like something I’d book a flight to Barbados for. Funny enough only a few days ago a friend of mine living in NY told me about BBQ pig tails. In Trinidad and Tobago I don;t recall seeing pig tails being BBQed, but the feet and ears are used to make a thin soup called souse. Flavoured with lot of scotch bonnet peppers and shado beni.

happy cooking

chris..

be sure to keep sharing those wonderful dishes you make in Barbados. Can’t stop thinking about that massive pot of soup.

I am a “Caricom Bajan” meaning my family were born in one or the other of the islands and have lived in Barbados for the past 50 years. I make what we call a “Long Soup” which is similar to yours but adding Ham bone, chicken,Pumpkin, Sweet Potatoe a bundle of Chives, Thyme and Marjoram in a massive pot. Sometimes I even put in Breadfruit if available. This is simmered for about 3 or 4 hours and when I call around and say “bring your bowl and spoon” I can have as many as 30 or 40 people turn up for a “Lime”!!! We fight over the Pig Tails so always have to have a large amount. In Barbados we also Barbecue Pig Tails at the side of the street and they are fantastic!!! Your children don’t know what they’re missing.
