I am back from Providence Stadium, quite depressed with my team, but the stadium is really excellent.

Ah youth...I'm reading this after you've had your day and that may have something with the discussion turning to chow. Of the signs made the one that sticks out is the ‘GIMME GIMME JIMMY’ one.

Generally fruit seasoned with lots of fresh pepper and other seasonings like garlic and chadon beni and eaten raw. Usually common with half ripe fruit - mango, pommecythere, plums, cherries etc. But ripe chow also possible. I seem to remember Guyana having mango with salt and pepper, and sometimes pommecythere (june plum, golden apple), which I thought was similar. Have a fruit tree in the yard, host some burning hot chow-making! Yup, that’s chow. Generally fruit seasoned with lots of fresh pepper and other seasonings like garlic and chadon beni and eaten raw.

We make mango chow, pommecythere chow, cucumber chow etc etc. So for a mango, I'd slice it up (some in slices if small, some more like chips/fries) and add bandania (chadonbeni), salt, pepper and other seasonings and let it soak and then eat... Does that help? It’s like a pickled thing.

While visiting TT friends in the USA they served tomatoes and cucumbers with pepper and salt and said they call it chow and they would do the same if the pepper and salt were added to mangoes etc. Hi Chennette,
