What are you Jamaicans living abroad missing? What are the must haves to bring back with you from your Jamaica trip?
Right now 2 juicy beef patty and piece a jerk pork would do me well.
I wonder if i am the only one who bring back grace corned beef, vienna sausage and tin makerel? Not only does the ones here in the UK look and taste different, the price man! Saw a tin of grace bully beef for 3 quid......it also annoys me that i can't find small tins here. Keep seeing grace halal bully beef as well.....so confused. Nothing beats the good ole stuff straight from yard.

I hear ya mama. Whenever I go, I always bring back the juci-beef patties. Fresh/roasted breadfruit; ackee & coffee for my friends/family. I can get all those things here in the states but likeyou said-It JUST DOES NOT TASTE the same!0

I can't recall every bringing back roast breadfruit. i am not a fan really. Likewise i don't really fool round ackee. If it is mango season i always bring back a few. Next time i think i will also bring back a piece of yellow yam.
Of course white rum is also a must....0 -

It is not like a meatloaf with callaloo? I have a friend with a patty shop and they make it there.. I can ask them for the recipe. As for me? I am in carb rehab so was going to fashion the 'loaf'' with some fritata kinda ting0 -
