Columbus Bay Lime

A couple weekends ago, Vinosh, a local manager-type who works at the refinery, took Kelly, the wife of a fellow UOP advisor, and I to Columbus Bay, a beach on the most Southern tip of the island. Columbus Bay is said to be the point at which Christopher Columbus first landed in Trinidad. The beach is surrounded by miles of coconut plantations and the "Three Sisters" (3 tiny islands) protrude just off the shoreline.

Vinosh ended up running into two of his friends while at the beach and they invited us to have dinner with them.  It turned in to quite the adventure as later that evening we ended up at Vinosh's friends home for a Fish Broth dinner (shown below) and drinks.  I always enjoy trying local food, especially if homemade, and it doesn't hurt enjoying the food with some locals as well.

You are one brave woman to try whatever it was that was in that bowl. It looks like brains or something, what was it? and did it taste like?
