    The first time I saw any advertisements for this stuff was in September 2009. Of course I wondered what it would taste like so I bought some. My first thought is that it MUST be similar to Magnum, another Jamaican wine concoction, because of the size of the bottle and the hot girl on the…

    In ten trips to Jamaica this was honestly the first time I ever saw a vendor weigh their produce before they sell it. I guess I haven’t been shopping at the right places. I took this picture while parked on a roadside in St Ann’s Bay. This guy was just on the roadside with his…

    While going through some pictures from past trips I came across one that made me laugh. I can’t even remember which restaurant I was eating at on the beach in Negril, but this is how they packaged my leftover pizza. I remember when the waiter brought it back to my table I laughed at it,…

    Here’s one place you should definitely stop when you arrive in Jamaica, if you’re visiting the north coast. Ultimate Jerk Center is right on the main highway on the way to Runaway Bay, you can’t miss it. If you’re traveling east it’ll be on your left hand side and is always worth the stop. We…

    Ever had Jackfruit? Embarrassed to say that it took me ten trips to try it! I guess I just didn’t know about it but I’m sad it took so long because I loved it!! And I probably wouldn’t have tried it on the tenth trip either if my driver didn’t stop to buy it for…

    Since Ackee and saltfish is my favorite Jamaican dish I thought I’d add another post about it. CLICK HERE to see my first post about it way back when I first started writing. On my September trip I had ackee & saltfish on my very first morning for breakfast.  My friend Marlon picked it straight…

  • Jamaican Steamed Fish

    Fish is super popular in Jamaica, especially among those who aren’t real meat eaters. You can find steamed fish on almost any menu in any cook shop there, and its real grass roots cooking when you order fish. They start with….you guessed it….a whole fish. One thing that amazes me when my friends cook for…

    This post is near and dear to my heart considering how it all came about.  I have to give you a little bit of background so you’ll understand how it happened and why its such a great memory, and why Down South will always be a place I stop when I hit the island! History…

    This is another re-post from the ones that I lost a while back Canoe restaurant in Negril is definitely worth writing about and definitely worth visiting! The suggestion to eat here came from my good friend Alice who lives in Negril, and a group of my forum friends from all over North America were meeting…

    Okay, two truths about this place called The Native in Montego Bay – first its the least “native” Jamaican place I’ve eaten and second this is the least “local” thing I’ve done in Jamaica. But I wanted to post about it anyways in case you’re feeling extravagant one night and want to spend $50 USD…
