"Oil Down" - Grenada's National Dish

Fridays at the office is typically 'Buy Lunch' Day.  Take Away in Styrofoam boxes is the norm with Grenadian food, unless you go to KFC or Subway the only American chains around.  This is Oil Down cooked in a HUGE pot over the fire with breadfruit, bluggoes, potatoes, coconut milk, chicken, salt beef, salted pigtail, salt fish, carrots, callaloo &, dumplings (dough boy!). 
 


 
So filling & always a generous portion.  This is my lunch AND dinner.  My colleagues laugh at me because they eat the entire dish for 1 meal (especially Nasell above). No wonder they take afternoon naps at their desk!
