--> The food was amazing. Not so much vegetables, but the fruits! The coconut and the pineapple. Right on the beach, a woman with a large basket of fruit on her head pulls a huge cooler of cold drinks, coconut cookies, and cold fruit. Everyday, up and down the Seven Mile Beach, without fail. . . in heat, in drizzle (cuz it doesn't really rain). The coconut cookies are highly recommended, as are the baggies of pineapple.

--> Avoid at all costs the pizza stand (I believe its called "Mr. Pizza") which serves the worst pizza I have ever had. Avoid Burger King (enough said), and avoid Margaritaville (overpriced). My motto when traveling abroad is to eat as much local cuisine as I can. And so, jerk chicken, coco bread, and patties were the stars of my meals.

--> I ate a lot of chicken. A LOT. Jerk, fried, jerk, more jerked, some curried, and more jerked. Chicken Lavish on the West End was amazing, as was the unnamed restaurant to the east of Roots Bamboo. The street food is delicious and inexpensive, which makes it so easy to eating all the time. 3C's has the best patties, and at a buck each, I stockpiled before going home. And if you start craving a burger, Legends makes the best burger. I didn't really bring back many souvenirs, but I did bring back a lot of seasoning to try my hand at jerk replication. You know, to get my cook on.

--> Logistically, everything that looks safe, is safe to eat. Tap water is drinkable, and not once was I subject to my sensitive stomach's needs.
