Pelau is a Creole dish[edit]

It does not share its origin with pilaf and its preparation method was NOT brought to Trinidad by Indian servants, that is very incorrect. Lipizzai (talk) 19:14, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's correct. Sources are in the article. Kind regards, Grueslayer 17:59, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It most certainly is not correct. Everyone who was born in Trinidad knows that Pelau is a CREOLE dish, Indian servants had no influence in this dish whatsoever in fact they just started learning how to make pelau a few years back so don't try to include yourself in food and culture that had nothing to do with you. Pilaf's preparation method has no resemblance to the way you prepare pelau and they don't even look the same. Look at your culture's food and you will see that it has no influence in creole food, Africa has a more similar preparation method in their rice dishes to pelau. Pilaf has no comparison. Lipizzai (talk) 18:17, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And no one eats Pelau with kuchela, they eat it with coleslaw, cucumbers or Zaboca (avocado). Lipizzai (talk) 18:25, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article is saying that the preparation method was altered by indentured labourers and that's not true. Jusdrian (talk) 22:18, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How was Pelau's prep method altered or influenced[edit]

Pelau's preparation method was not altered or influenced by east Indian indentured labourers. If so explain, did they add curry? Stop spreading a bunch of lies. Jusdrian (talk) 22:22, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
