Before the music, the costumes and the road, there was the cane.

I witnessed the Ceremonial Delivery of the Last Canes—a tradition that marks the official start of the Crop Over season and pays tribute to the hardworking men and women whose labour laid the foundation for one of Barbados’ greatest festivals.

Crop Over is more than a celebration. It’s a story of resilience, heritage and community, and every tradition reminds us where it all began.

Join me throughout the season as I continue exploring the people, places and traditions that make Crop Over so special.

Until the next chapter of The Crop Over Chronicles… C Dot out.

📍 Places of Interest – Salters Market

There’s a growing food community around Salters Market, and I had the opportunity to try The Gourmet Hut… and I must say, this wasn’t what I expected at all.

From the chicken soup with pumpkin and pigtail, to the cheesy macaroni pie, seasoned pork bites, and rice, everything was packed with flavour.

But the real highlight for me was the breadfruit bowl. I had mine with Cajun shrimp, and it definitely delivered. You can also get it with buljol, BBQ pigtails or a mix.

And before you ask… no, I didn’t eat all this food in one sitting 😅. I sampled a bit of everything and finished the rest over two days.

To top it off, their homemade juices were refreshing — the bayleaf and lime was my personal favourite.

📍 The Gourmet Hut – Stall #2, Salters Market, St. George

Another spot to add to the list.

Let me know in the comments… C Dot telling lies or this looking good? 👀

🇧🇧 THINGS OF TRADITION | EP. 1 — STRETCH OUT BREADFRUIT

Why it called “Stretch Out”? 🤔 I honestly couldn’t tell you… maybe because after you eat enough, you gine want stretch out! 😂

As we count down to Barbados’ 60th Independence, I’m taking a look at some of the foods, traditions and little pieces of Bajan culture that have been passed down through generations. 🇧🇧

And we starting with a staple — breadfruit!

Roasted, boiled, in souse, breadfruit cou-cou, pie… or the good old Stretch Out. There are plenty ways Bajans have made breadfruit our own.

This is Things of Tradition. Celebrating the things that make we, WE. 🇧🇧💙💛🖤

👇🏾 How do YOU prefer your breadfruit?

From Barbados 🇧🇧 to Saskatoon 🇨🇦… and of course food had to be part of the experience! 😂🍔

Fuddruckers has been creating memories in Saskatoon for 40 years, and after experiencing it for myself, I can see why.

Freshly prepared beef, buns made in-house, and my favourite part — you get to finish the burger YOUR way. 🙌🏾

Fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions, olives, relish, salsa, sauces and more. No wilted lettuce and definitely no saggy-ass tomatoes over here. 😂

I went with the ½ lb beef burger and fries, and the meat was clean, juicy, mouth-watering and full of that fresh beef flavour. Add your own combination of toppings and sauces and… yeah, I understand why they boast about the “World’s Greatest Hamburgers.” 👀🍔

Fuddruckers was an amazing food experience and another memorable stop from my time in Canada.

Planning a trip to Canada? Put Saskatoon on the list. 🇨🇦

And that’s another experience added to the C Dot travel book. ✈️📖

Toronto looks completely different from 553 metres above! 🇨🇦🏙️

The high-speed elevator, the glass floor and panoramic views that stretch beyond the city—visiting the iconic CN Tower was an experience from the moment I stepped inside.

But the real question is… would you stand on the glass floor and look straight down? 👀😅

Come with me as I take you to the top of Toronto!

A taste of BIM in Toronto! 🇧🇧🇨🇦

My Canadian cuisine journey took me to Kensington Market, where Caribbean culture is represented all along the road—but I had one main mission: Bim Street Eats by Chef Aiks.

I tried the barbecue chicken, macaroni pie and, because I’m a pork mouth, some pigtail! 😂

The chicken was well-seasoned and falling off the bone, while the pigtail had the right amount of salt with a delicious barbecue flavour.

But that macaroni pie? At least three cheeses, packed with flavour and finished with a crispy top like a proper Sunday pie. Cheese was definitely present and accounted for! 🧀🔥

I also sampled some wings from a nearby Jamaican jerk spot and received an amazing white rum cake as a parting gift.

If you’re a Bajan living in or visiting Toronto, check out Bim Street Eats by Chef Aiks for cou-cou and fish or another taste of home.

Follow @mrcdot246 for more of my Canadian cuisine experiences.

SOUSE SATURDAYS IS BACK! 🐷🔥

This week’s journey took me deep into the beautiful Scotland District to The Bay Lounge, Cambridge Bay, St. Andrew — and trust me, the drive was part of the experience! 😂🌴

For $20, I got a generous serving of souse with lean, flavour-packed pork, yellow-meat breadfruit, pudding and a punchy pickle. The pork flavour was definitely the standout, but watch the full review to see how everything measured up. 👀

📊 C DOT SCORECARD

🥣 Brine Balance — 5/6
🍖 Portion Size — 5/5
🐷 Pork Quality — 3.5/4
🍠 Breadfruit & Pudding — 3/3
💰 Value for Money — 2/2

🔥 TOTAL: 9.25/10

Another strong score coming out of St. Andrew! With Sand Dunes, Hillaby and now The Bay Lounge performing strongly, I have to ask…

Is St. Andrew becoming the parish to beat for souse? 👀🐷

And yes… some of allyuh gine say this is behind God’s back. 😂 Put it in Google Maps, enjoy the beautiful Scotland District scenery and trust the process!
