Something never changes, and one of those are the Roti vendors in Trininad. The first time I had Trinidadian roti was in 1955 when I visited Trinidad with my parents and older brother on our way to Surinam. Twenty five years later when my wife and I visited Trinidad, I saw a familiar sight of my youth, the Roti vendor. The roti tasted just as good as I remembered from way back when.
