Jounen Kweyol Entenasyonnal
26/10/2010
Place of event: St. Lucia
The month of October was set aside as Creole heritage month from 1984, a few years after St Lucia became independent from the British in 1979. Every year on the last Sunday in the month of October, Jounen Kweyol is observed. Those activities bring to life the St Lucia culture all those things that happened in the past.
You will get to see men displaying how they used to saw wood, the making of Creole bread using wood to heat the oven, making of cassava bread, bakes and fish cakes made out of Cray fish, the making of certain tantalizing dishes that were prepared long ago that has lose its popularity in recent times; crab callaloo, pemie, roasted sardines eaten with breadfruit, and much much more!
