French Creole Influence

The most popular French Créole influence is the language also known as 'patois'. It came about because of our historical background in terms of settlement by persons from the French islands. After the Haitian and French revolution many people migrated from the French islands to Trinidad.Some of our foods have a Créole adaptation such as
Pommeythere - French word is pommel de cy there
Avocado - Zaboka
Other words include; pomerac, chataigne and cerise
 asaome of our popular foods include, stewed chicken, oil down and soups. I think the most popular Créole influenced foods are our soups. The word soup comes from the French word 'soup or broth. Soups has become quite a popular dish in Trinidad and varies from cow heel to oxtail and even corn soup with other ingredients such as provision, dumplings and other flavored meats like pigtail.
