Yuh just cyar get enough bread and condense milk!

There was a time in Trinidad when a quick lunch snack at most snackettes was bread and cheese. In some circles it was bread and curry channa. Please note that was before bara and channa aka doubles became en vogue. Having said that, it is important that we record the best homemade sandwich that children loved to make and eat in Trinidad. Now don't laugh when I tell you that one of my very favorite snacks was bread and condense milk (lordy talk about a nice treat).

If you really had a sweet tooth then you would surely have known where the sugar bottle was kept with the can of condense milk secured in all of that brown sugar. Yes that bottle was kept in the cupboard and sugar and milk was a favorite treat.

Ok that meant we experimented with various bread and one of the most popular was the very popular hops bread. There was also the choka bread and the buns with the coating of sugar on top. I even put condense milk on the sweet bread but not the one that was made at home but the one that came from the bakery with the brown top and a coating of sugar syrup on top.
So which bread came out at the top of the heap? You guessed it hops bread my friend. You should try it just for the hell of it.

I am sure that your mouth is watering at this thought. Just get the hops bread and rip it open (don't cut it with a knife eh) and run the condense milk in circles, press it together and savor.

Leave a note and tell me if it was not worth the experience... LOL!
