Caribbean Doubles are Vegan!

October 28th, 2008 | Category: vegan

Most of the vegans I know have never had Caribbean food. I think that it might be because there aren’t the same sort of Caribbean populations in a lot of the cities in the States as there is in Toronto. Hey, we’re just luckier! Admittedly Caribbean cooking is generally heavily meat based, but there are items like Doubles (or even the vegetarian roti) that should be vegan if they are made traditionally. I’ve started asking around at the different Roti shops I end up and have now confirmed that at least two shops in Toronto have some vegan options. I also assume that most others would as well if I had the time to stop in an ask.

So vegans, rejoice! You can get vegan doubles at Ali’s Roti or the Caribbean Roti Palace.

    Hi there,

    I am a recently went vegan, last night my kids had a dentist appt in Parkway Mall at VP/Ellesemere and I was starving from working out prior to meeting them there. The food court only has 5 stores in it and I was not in the mood for a salad! I went to Carribean Cuisine and asked if the doubles were vegan and thankfully they were. She explained they are Hindu so they have a Vegan/Vegetarian selection, these were the best doubles I’ve had in a long time and the fact they are vegan excites me!
