Birchall in the soup
Thu 22 Dec, 3:52 PM - teamtalk.com

Chris Birchall's transformation from little-known Port Vale winger to Trinidad & Tobago national hero has not been seamless - he cannot stomach the Caribbean soup.

The Vale midfielder is now an intrinsic part of the Trini squad that scribed their names into the history books by qualifying for the World Cup for the first time in their history.

But although his assimilation into his new team and new found culture has on the whole been smooth, he remains dubious about the local cuisine.

Birchall said: "The lads have been great with me to be fair and they take me out when we are over there and look after me. I eat most of the food, which is very nice, but I'm not too keen on the chicken soup, though.

"The players have been very welcoming and helped me to settle in."

Doh forget de callaloo. I find ppl who never eat it before say it taste good, but don't like how it does look.....an how it does slide down

[trinidre]

yeah real americans doesnt like how it does look but the say it does tastse good after they try callaloo. when i bring my americans to a Trini lime they does love the west indian food and they always asking for recipe 

[Disgruntled_Trini]

2 things yuh had to keep in mind

1. part of eating is seeing
2. although we use to it when somebody from abroad especially England eat them thing it doh agree with them cause it real rich

I doh blame nobody who doh like callaloo cause when yuh really look at it it does look like green slime but we love it.

Dwight and them must be make the man eat some chicken soup/souse somewhere and make the man shit like ah duck.

[trinidre]

yeah ah have to agree because even though ah love it now i is ah man didnt too like how it use to look when I was small until meh mother make meh eat it and ah aint had no choice 

[pardners]

Mih cousin was studying Hotel Management in Germany last year and win the school cuisine competion with a trini callaloo....he get de bush from a caribbean market, but had to substitute some of herbs though....So Germany done get ah taste of trini cuisine already.  Dey done know !!!

A.W.A.T.T could issue ticket for this too, right?

[Andre]

[monty]

look like i might get ban yes.

I doubt it that serious, but to hate on stew chicken or stew *anything* is a first yes. I hope you are the only one with this sentiment. One of the fastest thing you can cook is a stew chicken and you can eat it with anything! I had some stew oxtail today with some potato bread. It went down real good...
