Whenever Brits are like "tea is our national drink, our culture, our personality, our mental health" I think of our hill country blanketed in a patchwork quilt of human suffering and ongoing violent colonialism and want to smash all their tea cups. Your genocidal leaf juice is nothing to be proud of. The present day tea pluckers are the descendants of the Indians you enslaved and they still live in unthinkable poverty in the line houses you built to house them like cattle. The families whose farmlands you robbed have been starving for generations. Every sip of your leaf juice is soaked in blood and you drink it like vampires.

Tea will never belong to you. It's our legacy of grief, and your shame.

Drink your tea and shut the fuck up.

Twitter's back on the American food vs British food shit. why don't you all eat a vindaloo and calm down.

we all love texmex, we all love curries, we've each got our own national versions of Chinese food and Vietnamese food and kebab and falafel and West African food and Caribbean food. tikka masala is British and chilli con queso is American and they're both p great.

we're all culturally mixed communities with most of our food cultures built off the influence of immigrant communities, it's chill. it's all haggis pakora baybeeeeee

idg vegans/vegetarians who yearn for meat to the point of concocting fake tuna and fake sausage. they're free from eating unappetizing browns and pinks, free from the smells, their arms should be open to legumes and grains and the humble generous tofu and yet they will only eat those gifts of nature and nurture as a paste meant to imitate the dead body of an animal. sickening

Street Foods of Trinidad and Tobago: doubles, pholourie, dhalpurie roti, corn soup, chicken foot souse, saheena, bake and shark, crab and dumpling, curry conch/lambi, oyster, aloo pie, gyro, and buss-up-shut “paratha” roti.

N.B: I think that the term “street food” is very vague and contested, so some people might disagree with a few of the choices included in this list, which is cool 😎. Also...gyros may not be native to Trinidad, but we Trinis love them, so its honorary local street food :3

does anyone have any recommendations for how to support(?) someone (in this case, my partner) in connecting more to their culture? specifically when you're white and they're not?

(also yes I could absolutely ask and I do plan to do so but I'm thinking of something I could do as a surprise that is also respectful)
