"The cracker" and "Traditional stone fireside"

The outdoors and aroma from the burning wood adds flavor to the pots and excitement to the lime. It encourages our taste buds to water, men to show of their cooking skills and culture of improvising by using nature.

Families will transport cooking gas, stoves, water and ingredients for cooking. Fire is started on arrival. The three ring cracker is the most popular since it  withstands any weather condition and enables quick cooking results because of the ability to create high heat. Some people use  innovative ways to capture the aroma of burning wood in the food being cook, they place dry burning wood on the side of the pot being cooked by the gas, so that the smoke from the wood seasons the pot giving a unique flavor. Wood such as "Padu", "Guava" and Cherry are mostly used. Their is also cooking on  three stones or any structure that can hold the pot securely while maintaining six inches from the ground to enable easy access of placing firewood.
The wood is carried to the site in small pieces because locating dry wood on the site is difficult due to the amount of people who engage in this activity on a daily basis.
The river is mostly located on private lands where the cutting of trees is prohibited.
Despite these challenges the Trini population enjoys the river lime.

    Fireside meals have a unique taste from food that was cooked on conventional stoves. Maybe its the thrill of the lime and the effect of spending time with friends and family that fools the mind into thinking that the meal somehow tastes better but fireside meal by the river is definitely something to look forward to.
