Friday Night BBQs, Island-Wide
On Friday nights, regardless of where you are on the island, there will be vendors,
somewhere, selling delicious barbequed items. It may be chicken, corn, fish or pork chops, but
you may also find an interesting part of the pig being barbequed - its tail. Salted pig’s tail is
used on the island in soups, but in recent years throwing it on to the grill has resulted in quite a
stir and it has now become a staple on many road-side grills throughout the island. If you have
the opportunity to try any barbecued meat from the different vendors, you will realize that
they are all equally tasty. The seasonings used to marinate the meat may differ slightly based
on the vendor’s preference, but you can be guaranteed a tasty, finger-licking bbq, every time.
Just follow the smoke . . .
