Vaimeleni – Samoan Watermelon Drink
The recipe calls for all ingredients to be fresh, like making your own coconut milk – very time consuming and fresh coconuts are hard to come by. Posted for ZWT 7 and sourced from http://panipopos.blogspot.com

Easy Pani Popo, Samoan Coconut Bread
I found this recipe off of the Rhodes website. I just love this bread, but don’t want to go through the tedious task of making it from scratch. This is a faster way to enjoy this island favorite.
Caribbean Trinidad Roti
These delicious snacks are served on the side of the road down Trinidad way. Kind of like the Fast Food of the Caribbean. This recipe comes from the book A Taste of the Tropics by Jay Solomon, since I could not get anyone to share their secret recipe.
Trinidad Pepper Quiche
A Caribbean take on a classic. Super quick with less fat and calories than a traditional Quiche Lorraine. The flour mimics the ‘body’ of the traditional Quiche. The mild, flavourful, Trinidad Capsicum chinense peppers breathe new life into an old favourite. These peppers are a uniquely flavoured habenero with an almost undetectable heat. Locally they go by the name pimento or seasoning peppers. To Trinidadians they are as invaluable as salt. We put them in practically everything we cook. We use them to ‘season’ meats, and a host of other dishes. Serve with a salad and for those indulgent moments a glass of white wine for dinner, or have a slice for breakfast. I usually make two pies and freeze one for later on in the month.You can use any kind of mild pepper that appeals to your taste and is available to you locally for this recipe. I have also made this using red and green sweet peppers and it’s just as delicious. Roasted red peppers would be great too.
