It was early one morning. The hotel staff was just arriving and I was up,
Sitting on my veranda watching the sun slip its way through the trees.
One of the staff had a tall Styrofoam cup.
"what ya got there, coffee?
"No mon, peanut porridge" he said.
Hmmm, peanut porridge. I have had corn meal porridge, but never peanut.
"Mon, it good man. Mi get it from Colletes, just down the road."
Well, i have always loved peanut cookies, peanut butter, anything with peanuts.
So, I showered,got dressed and started on my mission to find Colletes.
I waked, past Time Square, past Cafe Goa and other places.
A few more steps and I was there.
A screened in dining room and a couple of nice ladies working in the kitchen.
A young lady asked mi what I would like?
Ummm, "Peanut porridge" I said.
"large or small?
"I will try a small bowl please"
I also got 3 of those fried dough balls with the porridge.
She brought a very big mug full of coffee too.
Many taxi cab drivers would pull up and get a meal or a cup of porridge to go.
The waitress brought out a nice size bowl of porridge that was steaming hot
and the fried dough was too hot to eat right away. Almost burned my tongue.
My first spoonful and I was hooked, it was wonderful. Real stick to the ribs breakfast.
It is a nice quiet local spot on the beach road.
Give them a try for some real good peanut porridge!
Nice story markospoon!!
