Pastelles are a traditional delicacy during the Christmas season in Trinidad even though they are also consumed at other times throughout the year.

Pastelles are made made up of two components, the corn flour mix and a savory filling such as beef, chicken, pork, or seafood cooked with raisins, capers, olives and other Caribbean flavorings. The filing of your choice is enclosed within the soft, melt in your mouth corn flour paste which are wrapped and cooked in banana leaves.

Macaroni pie made with Trini cheese and curry duck are always required as well for the Christmas plate.

TOGO, Trinidad ��" Greetings from a place of sun and fun, where the air is filled with the aromas of home-baked breads and cakes and the sounds of steelband music and parang. Parang has the cadence of Spanish music and Calypso. When you hear parang, it's Christmastime in Trinidad. Here, Christmas is not one day. It's a months-long celebration that begins at the end of September and continues through the week after the New Year. There's

Growing up on the islands pastelles were not on our hit-list for Christmas, as it wasn’t something made by our mom or dad. I do recall the lady who lived...
