Growing up in Barbados, Austin Clarke was surrounded by women in
the kitchen. Enveloped in the heavenly smells and smoke of their
cooking, he listened to their talk about the food they were
preparing. His mother; several aunts and numerous cousins always
recited the steps they were taking as they cooked, and through
them, he learned how to cook the traditional dishes of Barbados -
food that has its origins in the days of slavery, of hardships and
economic grief, when 'ingreasements' (ingredients) were scarce. The
food was not just intended to 'full a hole in your stomach',
according to Austin's mother, but to make you 'feel good', 'grow
into a strong man' and give you 'big-big brains'. In Pig Tails 'n'
Breadfruit, Austin Clarke shares his favourite recipes, including
Smoked Ham Hocks with Lima Beans, Breadfruit Cou-Cou with Braising
beef, Oxtails with Mushrooms, Pepperpot, and his renowned Chicken
Austintacious. He reveals his method for choosing a 'nice piece o'
pigtail from the brine barrel', demonstrates how to test an okra
for freshness, outlines the essential characteristics of a real
pork chop, and instructs us in the proper use of a cou-cou stick,
that essential tool found in every Barbadian home. And all the
while he reminisces about the food he ate as a boy and the rituals
that went along with it. Whether it's a story about the village
butcher whose qualifications were somewhat suspect, how to map a
sure-fire route to a woman's heart through her stomach, or
searching the streets of Durham, North Carolina, for fried chicken
with Norman Mailer, Austin Clarke will make you hungry for 'hot
cuisine' and the spirit of the island.
