When we last posted about Carribbean Sweet Hand, a kind reader helped mitigate our confusion surrounding the name. Turns out that telling someone that they have a sweet hand is the same as telling them that they can cook well.
Schooled us.
We tried CSH a couple of times and found it to be run of the mill Carribbean. But then we ducked in the other day when we were really in the mood for doubles. Though CSH does not yet have doubles, we were pleasantly surprised when we tried a cheese roll (or was it a cheese stick? If you ask for it they'll know what you are talking about).
It's a baked (or maybe fried...) thing of pastry-ish bread that has cheese on the inside - the consistency of the cheese is similar to provolone. But the cheese is seasoned with curry and other good stuff. It's quite delicious.
Also available are beef sticks - the same thing but with beef instead of cheese. We can only vouch for the cheese stick, which was damn good. Well worth the $2.
Yum! Those sound good -- I'll have to try them. I've had their curry goat and chicken and found them both to be very good, but what's also nice is that they have a good selection of Island products, including Touch of Class hot sauce from Trinidad, which I haven't seen anywhere else around here, and which really has an amazing flavor -- ti's hot, of course, but also has this kind of smoky flavor to it. It's really good!
