Covid19 takes a big bite out of street food vending

Roadside food vending has been at the centre of TT s culinary culture for as long as one could remember. Doubles, pies, barbecue, and in recent history gyros, satisfy cravings, whether on the way to work or out liming at night.
But the industry is volatile. Crime, the price of goods and the fact that the street food sector is not regularised adds to the high risks involved, and, with the recent covid19 restrictions many vendors who operate on a day-to-day basis, may fall by the wayside.

Although the price of soy-based cooking oil has increased, roadside food vendors said they have no intention of raising prices on their food items at this time.
Street food vendors of doubles, aloo pies, saheenas, baiganees, kutchories, fries and similar items said they have incurred heavy increases on a five-gallon keg of cooking oil which moved from $160 in some instances to $240 over the last month.
Sunday Newsday visited street food vendors in Chaguanas and Debe on Friday to get an insight into the situation and learnt that while many of the vendors were contemplating increasing their prices, holding off on such a move was necessary until the latest covid19 restrictions are lifted.

FUNDRAISING is underway for a community-run funeral home which will offer lower-cost services and a caring approach, says Catherine Bell, executive director of Tender Funerals Canberra Region.
Covering the Canberra, Queanbeyan, Yass, Cooma, Goulburn, Bungendore and Braidwood areas, Tender Funerals Canberra Region has launched a crowdfunding campaign that will run for five weeks via Chuffed.org.
If it can reach its goal of raising $150,000 from the Canberra community, Catherine says that Tender will then be able to “unlock” further support from The Snow Foundation and Social Enterprise Finance Australia (SEFA).
