Your recount of the festival in Brooklyn brought back vivid memories of cruising the islands from Trinidad to the Virgins. Each island has it's own flavor. We learned to make many of the dishes we tasted. And learned to incorporate new and tasty produce and spices. There is a great little book called "Sky Juice and Flying Fish" by Jessica B Harris you might like to check out and try some Caribbean food at home. I just discovered your site wile researching a recipe for stuffed boblano peppers with carne asada. The foodie talk and the total irreverance makes the site enticing. But the exceptional writing style and literacy has me hooked. I be back to visit soon. The Caribbean is beyond amazing with it’s miriad tastes and smells.

Not sure if you think everything looks like shite or good or not like your restaurant in Bristol. Of course it's not going to be anything like your delicious restaurant in Bristol (I'm assuming it's delicious) and my husband went to graduate school in Bristol, so maybe we'll visit next time we're in the UK. regardless, everything was very delicious and authentic and made and served by various men and women from that Carribean country. It was fabulous - more than edible! Thanks for stopping by. Hey, Caribbean food-

I don't know what's giving me a bigger hard-on: the curried goat on roti, the fish fritters that look like hushpuppies or the ginger beer. Let's just say it's pretty huge right now.
