"I can't understand for the life of me... because I ain't never see no peas soup in Tortola with no carrot," Skelton-Cline lashed out on the Tuesday, November 5, 2019, edition of his radio show.

He continued, "You might think its simple and it's silly, but if you're celebrating Virgin Islands culture and you have a contest for peas soup, which is a basic dish with our fish and fungi... the peas soup should not have carrots!" he said.

"Am I the only joker around here who understands that?" the ZBVI radio host questioned rhetorically.

According to Mr Skelton-Cline, while local peas soup is some of the 'best soup on the planet', he completely rejects the idea of carrot inclusion into the delicacy.

"I'm sure the peas soup was good, but that was not no BVI peas soup, that's all I'm saying," the man of the cloth remarked.

Food must reflect culture

While congratulating those who took part in the contest for the great initiative and doing a great job, he said: "Next time when we are celebrating the culinary delights of a particular jurisdiction, it needs to reflect in earnest that jurisdiction."

Over the weeks, Skelton-Cline- through his radio programme- has been calling out various instances of the changing culture in the territory, which he says must be monitored.

One such is the growing number of men on street corners across the territory, "As I continue to drive around our country, especially in Road Town and even where I live in Cane Garden Bay, through some of the villages, one of the things that concern me, is the amount of men that I see populating all throughout the place on every corner on every nook, under some trees," he said on the Tuesday, October 8, 2019, edition of his Honestly Speaking show.
