I’d never had doubles until I visited Trinidad, and it’s so nice to have your recipe for it!
aww i’m so glad lydia!
it’s definitely a fav 
i had no idea it would end up being the most popular recipe on this site tho! 
it’s because everyone has searched in vain for a doubles recipe for years – particularly for one with pictures and sounds like it comes from someone who has eaten more than one. And knows what it is (I recently watched the Travel Channel’s visit to T&T where the host glouriously ate “double” after “double”…sigh – nobody explained to her that doubleS was both singular and plural).
awww thanks :blush: lol @ travel channel tho!!! was it that annoying squeaky chick with the short reddish brown hair? oh she grates me! but andrew zimmern…. mmmm … we need to find a way to bring him here!

OK – I think I’ve got the “doubles” thing now. You wouldn’t try “street food” in Hackney. Believe me.
hehehee

what’s wrong with street food in hackney?
