Longing for island food

I haven’t been to the Minnesota State Fair yet — still avoiding the crowds. Still, as a newcomer to Minnesota, I should go, for no other reason to explore the food booths.

Now, I’ve been warned that fair food can be unhealthy and if not eaten soon, less than appetizing. But I might find something good there — and I’m not talking about corn dogs.

Tim Nelson’s story on fair food has me wondering whether at the fair I might find the Caribbean food I grew accustomed to in Florida: Cuban, Jamaican, Haitian and Puerto Rican cuisine — though I kind of doubt it.

And since this is Independence Day in Trinidad & Tobago, roti is in order.

Can anybody help a newcomer out?
