Food Stuffs

While in Jamaica, we saw some great menu items. Feast your eyes!

Self-explanatory on the beach in Oracabessa.
(Incidentally, the place where Ian Fleming wrote several James Bond novels, at his swingin' sixties pad, Goldeneye. Probably the healthy omega oils helped him write about the "best secret agent ever conceived".)

Who wouldn't want this? Pass on the curried goat. (I did try some, and it tasted like lamb, but the curry was bland...ugh). Go for the Vegetable Lunch with rice & peas and vegetables. Or .... you could order it with food.
[So if vegetables aren't food, then how do vegetarians live?]
FYI, rice and peas translates into non-Jamaican English as rice and kidney beans.

Can you read the ingredient list? Man Back Strong Back, Snake Wisp, Royal Wisp, Blood Wisp, Medina, Chainey Wisp, Chainey Root, Sarsaparilla, Iron Wood, Ramoon, and last but not least......All Man Strength Cayenne Pepper.
Yes, I drank it, and yes, it tasted pretty good!
Chicken with the pants leg rolled up.... Whose leg? The chicken's, the diner's, or the chef's? Didn't try, so couldn't tell ya.
This was the Spring Break Special Menu. Many times Juice asked for "2 platters of shaghetty, please!", but none appeared. Very sad. The only flaw we found in Jamaica was that shaghetty seemed to be only available at Spring Break. :-(

Too Fast Food.
Do you see that sign? Musta been a WHOPPER of a truck. (sorry...haha)



Finally, I was in a bar, and the menu offered a Bartender's Special that was "alcohol with liquor, plus a shot of booze." My self-preservation kicked in, so I didn't order one, but sadly, I deleted the menu photo when I was "tired" (aka hung-over).
Cheers, mon.
