  • Jamaican was: fish

    We have plenty of Jamaican immigrants here as well... and a few good Jamaican restaurants, too... Although one of them, called Peppa Pot, recently closed... maybe the owners were just ready to retire... They
    had good food there, so it's a shame...

    One local guy just died, but he left his grandkids a thriving
    business. He and the wife were teachers in Jamaica, but couldn't make ends meet on teacher salaries. (sound familiar?) So they came up here
    and ended up opening a "bakery" selling what's essentially street food
    and other goodies. Three business outlets later....

    Very good business sense.... and obviously very good food as well... :)

    His patties are the benchmark for all those sold in the area to this

    Not in a long time. I don't eat out much, if ever, and the locations
    are all in the opposite direction of anywhere else I need to be.

    That would make it less likely, admittedly... :) So it would be more a
    case of happening to have to go that direction for a change, and maybe
    dropping in to grab some takeout for that night's meal...?

    More likely lunch, and not to be eaten at home. Mom doesn't like
    Jamaican food and really can't stand curry. Meanwhile, one of my
    favorite things of all time is a good curry goat.(LOL)

    So a good thing to get it for lunch while you are out and about, and
    just need some sustanance to get you through... :) I quite like curry
    goat, too, whether Indian version or Jamaican version... Hmmm... maybe sometime soon that'll be where I and some lunch companion end up... at Livie's down the street... :)

    I do have to eat it out of the house; she hates the smell worse than the taste. It's freezing in here right now for some reason, so now I really
    want curry....

    Sigh... Did you get out to get some...? Too bad she even hates the
    smell... Pretty hard to disguise that....
