The Kukai - a haiku contest, where each person submits a haiku, and then, becomes a judge. When all the poems are compiled in a list, the contestants comment, vote, and give scores to poems of their choice. One cannot comment on, nor vote for one’s own poem. At the end of the voting process winners emerge, the selection based on votes by the kukai’s contestants.

(in Trinidad and Tobago we use the term 'saltfish' in conversations; salted cod [salt fish] was once considered the poor man's dish, having had a history of being food for slaves; not so now, its pricey and available in all the supermarkets, an all time favorite for a variety of recipes; accras and buljol are two very popular ones). Saltfish is even more popular in the Lenten Season.
