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.
Oh lawd.. in no particular order.
Big Foot
Guinep
Apple
Patty (and cocobread)
Reaal potato pudding
Longy mango
Sugarcane
Sausage
Green banana (so nice and soft!)
Jelly (nice and cool... oh man)
Oranges (oranges here is just not the same)..
Ackee (the clue is in my name Lol)
Oh man, I love the vibes. If I had money I would go more often.0 -
longing for some devon stout ice cream. would also settle for some grape nut or good ole rum and raisin. the rum and raisin they sell here is missing the rum!
Ooooh, try Tesco's Finest Caribbean Rum n Raisin ice cream. That ice-cream is made with crack I'm sure...so addictive that I had to wean myself off it. LOL0 -
