yuh know...if yuh goin to make uneducated comments so at least tief the whole piece from the girl on fb and analyse it properly...
wild meat is a small portion of the menu...unless bake and shark, roti and bbq chicken is wild meat where allyuh come from...not to mention I guess where most ah these bloggers from hagen daaz and fajitas wild too..as well as stewed beef and other creole food....
yuh prefer they serve a puff a sandwich and a slice a cake?
if yuh cyah afford just say and go to yuh cheap fetes...it doh have no room anyway...
anyhow I sure the committee glad fuh the free publicity..

What kills me about these fetes are their affiliate's attitude is that it reflects all that is bad in Trinidad at the moment when it comes to spending money for goods and services versus getting value for money. As a consumer we are supposed to "take whatever they give" and shut the hell up! Tough luck zzz, last time I checked Trinidad and the www is still a democracy and I will comment on these fetes as I see fit! We, the patrons fete promoters are trying to entice to support their fete, should not be told "it doh have no room anyway" because we commented on a menu item tsk tsk, such a bad, bad, bad attitude to criticism!
And no we don't expect a "puff a sandwich and slice of cake", I can recall paying MUCH less for ONE fete, for example, and the menu included an Arabian tent with gyros and kebabs (among other items), a Spanish tent with fajitas, tacos, pastelle (among other items), a Chinese tent with all the usual Chinese food items plus wantons, pot stickers and other types of dim sum items, a Carving station with roast beef, Creole Tent with bake and shark, corn soup (among other items), an Indian tent with roti and other Indian delicacies NOT to mention "hagen daaz", all manner of local sweets AND deserts!! The audacity to think that the menu worth $650.00 would at least include a variety to please different tastes!
Anyway, that made me laugh this morning, just thought I would share!

oh snap!...
don't worry girl, I didn't comment on the last post but honestly, I'm a fussy eater and thought that fussy eaters were RARE. But I realise there are alot of people out there that not willing to try all kinds of new foods. And that menu IS limited for the price, I certainly would not eat there.
Secondly, this is YOUR blog. If today you wake up and decide the sun is blue and the sky is yellow, that's your business. Who doh like it, don't read.
Let me assure you that nobody affiliated with the Hilarians would ever write such a gramatically- and spelling-challenged comment, and would certainly know better than to say 'it doh have no room anyway' to any member of the public.
As for your critique of the menu...well to each his own. For what it's worth, the patrons attending are quite excited about the food options, of which those listed in the message are only some of the more exotic ones. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, especially on your own blog.
uh, your free to your opinion saucy cause IS YOUR BLOG!
zzz needs to hush cause regardless the fete get free pr
but zzz making it sound like saucy say the ENTIRE menu was wild meat... STEUPS english is ah hell of ah language eh.
I for one like drama but when people start to make comments and not read i really get pissed off but what can i say the ignorance for the english language with some people is funny.
From the words of another blogger " PELT AH SHOE"
THANK YOU ONIKA K...... now that is a sensible comment.... you said your piece and you are right "To each his own"
Now Let me get back to work
I will just like to reiterate Onika K's comment that absolutely no one associated with the fete made that comment.
I would also like to note that this is your blog and you can say as you please. This is a democratic society and everyone is subject to their own opinion.
However, I will let everyone be aware that what was mentioned was not the full extent of the menu but just some additional stuff we have added in this year because our patrons have in fact requested it. We will have both champagne and sparkling wine available in the fete.
No hard feelings towards you at all Saucy...
Shonda when I quoted the email from Hilarian's group you will note that is quoted "as is" with "SOME" highlighted in caps.
We're well aware of that Saucy, but Shonda was just making it clear as some commenters did appear to think that the listing posted was indeed all the food. No disrespect.
well I've been to this fete in the past and the vibes are great and I enjoy this party to the fullest, I never knew they had horse last year though! they had a wide variety of foods though, the music was sweet and since I'm in trini for a few more days I am up in there! I hope they have a sign for the horse station, I would be avoiding that area at all cost, something about eating horse seems real wrong to me, but I am not going for the horse I'm going for the other food options which is always alot and the vibes....oh and the champayne!
WORK IT.... Take that ZZZ...
lol @ nev....
