MINIMUM $10 ON ALL CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS. I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY BILLS LARGER THAN $20 Welcome to Tara's Roti Shop, my mother (Tara) opened the ROTISHOP August 1995 at 8916 N. We moved to 10006 N 30th street May 2004. My mother Tara passed away July 2020 and I have been running the business full time since Jan 2020. I have always been part of the ROTISHOP, however more in the background, doing paperwork, buying products, stocking, cleaning, etc. I am more of a business person, however I do try my best. My aunt (Doreen) has been doing all the cooking for the last 20 years. Currently there are 3 of us working, my aunt doing all the cooking, myself, I prepare all food, answer the phone, prepare delivery orders, stock, clean, cash, order products, prep, take orders in front and. a prep person. We ask for you to have patience, not is made until you order. We do make some ROTI SKINS and have them in the FRIDGE, VERY LIMITED QUANTITY. My mother went with QUALITY NOT QUANTITY and I will do the same. For all the "wonderful" people that complain about me being rude, it's not my intention, however I have a business to run and as you can see I have quite a few jobs I do. I am all about business and getting my orders taken, made and out. I DO APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT & I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR BUSINESS. Sarah. I HAVE ADDED QUITE AN EXTENSIVE LIST OF GROCERY ITEMS AND ADD MORE ITEMS AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE. I carry items from multiple Caribbean islands.

Before buying mangoes at the supermarket was even a thought… THIS was how we went shopping! 🥭😂

Find the longest bamboo you could get, look up in that tree and choose the PERFECT mango.

Then came the important part…

“WATCH IT! IT FALLING!” 😂😂

And everybody underneath scrambling to see who could grab it first!

👇🏾 Who remembers picking mangoes with a long bamboo? And what mango were YOU hoping to get—Julie, starch, long, rose, doux doux, or another kind?

🧺🇹🇹 FORGOTTEN CARIBBEAN: OLD-TIME WASH DAY

Before you could throw everything into a machine, press a button and walk away, wash day meant WORK. 😭😂

Clothes were soaked, scrubbed, rinsed and wrung out by hand before being carried outside and pinned to the line.

And those white school shirts?

They had better come out WHITE. 😂

For plenty families, washing wasn’t a tiny chore squeezed into the day. It could become a whole morning’s job.

Then came one of the best smells from old-time Caribbean life:

Fresh sheets drying outside in the sun and breeze. ❤️

Technology made laundry a whole lot easier, but scenes like this were once completely ordinary in yards across Trinidad.

🇹🇹 Who remembers their mother or grandmother washing clothes like this?

IN MEMORIAM - Slinger “The Mighty Sparrow” Francisco ORT CM OBE (1935–2026)

The National Carnival Commission of Trinidad and Tobago joins with the nation and the world in mourning the passing of Mr. Slinger Francisco, affectionately known the world over as The Mighty Sparrow.

One of the most celebrated voices in our cultural history, and one of the greatest Calypso Kings of the world, The Mighty Sparrow passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on September 27, 2026.

For close to six decades, his extraordinary wit, artistry, and distinctive voice helped define both Calypso and Carnival. His contributions gave soul to the artform and the festival, and, in turn, shaped the cultural identity of Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean.

Through his music, he gave us stories that spoke to us, inspired us, made us laugh, cry, and dream.

In recognition of his contributions, the NCC dedicated Dimanche Gras 2026 as a tribute to his legacy.

As we extend our deepest and sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones during this most difficult time, we honour a legend and true cultural titan.

Farewell, Mighty Sparrow, and thank you for sharing your God-given gifts with the world.

May he rest in eternal peace.

😂🙏🏽 GROWING UP… WHAT DID YOU HEAR IT CALLED?

We know the sacred period is Pitri Paksh… but somehow, somewhere, plenty of us grew up hearing “Peter Pack!” 😂

And the real question is… where Peter packing and going? By you? 🤣🤣

All jokes aside, traditions and pronunciations can sound a little different from home to home, especially as they’re passed down through generations.

👇🏽 Tell us in the comments — growing up, what did YOU hear this sacred period called?

😂🙏🏽
