You've done a good job but I beg to differ about jelebie being fried sugar...its not even a close description of what it really is. Its a soft flour mixture..almost runny..left to curdle with lime juice or dahee/yougurt then piped in hot oil and soked in paag. Keep up the good work!

Glad you found stuff to enjoy :-) We ended up in a discussion about the <b>jamoon</b> fruit in this <a href="http://chennette.net/2008/04/30/pommerac-pommerac-click-click-click/" rel="nofollow"> <b>Pommerac</b> post</a>...as my grandmother used to call pommerac (big) jamoon. But I know the smaller purply fruit you mean...just don't know the proper name. Can try to enquire... Hi KapilDev!

I am now very hungry for some of those delicious offerings you all spoke of. I cannot cook any so I will need to run out and buy some, but wait! These delicacies are not available for sale just anywhere!!? Then I will have to kill the desire upwelling in my mouth and wait until Sunday when I can get some Jilabee and Barfee etc in the market. Then I have to wait until Eid to go by my family and secure my share of the goodies!!! Well,

It must be a nickname applied by the early Indians in Trinidad to that purple grape like fruit called "Gulab Jamoon" These trees grow along the rice areas and sometimes form the boundaries of people's lands. The fruit is eaten when very ripe or it leaves a very "cassa" taste to the mouth. Its great in chow and can also be used to make fruit wines. I would still like to know the Latin and English name of the plant and fruit. I have had some real nice Gulab Jamoon (the ones you make). I have a sweet tooth and like it when it is drowned in that nice sweet syrup. Shri Kapildev I was actually looking up the fruit called the Gulab Jamoon.

But i was just wondering if we have that or anything similar to it in Trinidad cause i can't remember having anything sweets like that except for that yellow cockset looking thing? Dear Chennette,
