Mr. Killa hit song, 'Rolly Polly' which represents curvy plus sized women. This
Rolly Polly Doubles is serving up plump large doubles for hungry masses that don’t
have time to prepare breakfast.
This revolutionary
idea was the brainchild of Shawn Saddnagim. Best known as 'George,' Shawn
operated his popular business on Chacon Street, Port of Spain. The mini Dhal Puri is a thin, seasoned spilt peas-filled roti. It is served with channa (chickpeas
or garbanzo beans). It is not your traditional Doubles. It is cooked on a tawah
or platin (iron skillet) on an open flame. As compared to ‘bara’ which is
essentially flat bread deep fried in oil. It is hailed by his customers as a
healthier and excellent substitute to the greasy bara. It is served with
regular assorted condiments- cucumber chutney, mango, kuchela, tamarind and
chadon beni.
Rolly Polly Doubles is a mouthwatering breakfast wrap. It is
soft and melts in your mouth. No forks, knives and plates needed. It is best
eaten with your hands. It may be a messy to eat. Just ensure you have napkins
close by. For a cost $6 Rolly Polly is worth a try.
