    this is a very good recipe. however the only thing spoiling this is the pig tails. use about four large cracked crab pincers in this and it tastes 400% better.

    Callaloo (Real Trini Style)…caribbean,This is the real callaloo the way it’s made in Trinidad. This callaloo is not considered a soup but rather a side dish used with the Sunday lunch. If you can get the real ingredients wherever you are you are going to really ENJOY this dish. Serve on rice, boiled provisions, macaroni pie, potato salad….Caribbean foods are best for this dish. All ingredients can be prepped before and stored in the refrigerator at least two days before.,this is a very good recipe. however the only thing spoiling this is the pig tails. use about four large cracked crab pincers in this and it tastes 400% better.
