Lawd Jesus, I need a break from all this political mumbo jumbo. As much as Kimani loves to delve into those particular shark-infested waters I need a break.
As much of a health nut that I am, anything Jamaican is automatically exempted from my nutritional restrictions.
So here is a partial list of my favorite foods, and definitely not in any particular order. What's yours?
-Shirley Biscuits (They taste different when they're imported.)
-Patty
-Ting
-Brown Stew Chicken
-Oxtail
-Pan Chicken (preferably from Red Hills road late at night...or rather early in the morning.)
-Drops
-Asham
-Tamarind Balls (I like the Honeycomb Brand)
-Steamed Fish with Exelsior Water Crackers (Bammy is a plus!)

What is Asham? Is that a country thing?
How me no see nuh jerk pork...fire bun!!
Kimani, Asham is from the country of your birth. It is pulverized corn which is parched with sugar. Real good eating . . . but only a country man would know that. Big up all the farmers!
Loi, personally, I am a fish lover. But it has to be cooked yard style Steamed fish,roast fish, brown stewed, curry, escoveitch . . .
Well Loi I am no country man, straight Kingstonian. Since I have aged gracefully, I have learned to appreciate my Jamaican foods even more but still, me nuh know no asham or whatever. Me is a Jerk chicken man, and yes Loi, jerk chicken diffrant from pan chicken, but oh I forgot that you are a Jamerican. I could a called you a Jafakan, but I give you more credability than that. A gwaan like sey yu know good yard food...oh please, and I hope you can understand the Jamaican dialect.
