I had a taste of a beef and a chicken Juicy patty on my JA trip. The crust was very good and the filling tasty, but there seemed to be a lot of filler used to stretch the meat. They also sell a nice variety of down home Jamaican meals.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5599296856283005445-1039586921564971293?l=alphafloridachapter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Floridaflamingohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01142185992639633916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599296856283005445.post-23044250197841377872008-08-02T21:30:00.000-07:002008-08-02T21:36:15.457-07:00For the uncool and the un-initiated, the latest Jamaican slang/hip saying is "Zimmie", derived from"you see me?-meaning "do you understand me?".<br />The inflection is also important - the tone being lower on the second syllable of the word. Heard it a lot on a recent trip to JA.<br />Ciao!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5599296856283005445-2304425019784137787?l=alphafloridachapter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Floridaflamingohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01142185992639633916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599296856283005445.post-54883948973145715662008-06-24T19:58:00.000-07:002008-06-24T20:15:29.044-07:00As the summer comes fully upon us, I am yearning for a taste of some nice Jamaican mangoes, especially a Bombay. Oh, to take my spoon and scoop the sweetly flavored succulence of ripe Bombay mango flesh from a neatly halved, tree-ripened, hand-picked and unbruised fruit; or to pulverize a ripe Bombay to pulp, then make a hole in the skin and suck mango nectar to my hearts content.......Ambrosia!<br />Guess I have to pay a visit to Jamdown to enjoy these gastronomic delights, as I have never seen Bombays in South Florida. Have you guys? If so, do tell!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5599296856283005445-5488394897314571566?l=alphafloridachapter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Floridaflamingohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01142185992639633916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599296856283005445.post-37029175453104218262008-06-18T16:59:00.000-07:002008-06-18T17:00:09.728-07:00<a href="http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm145/alphaflchapter/?albumview=slideshow">http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm145/alphaflchapter/?albumview=slideshow</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5599296856283005445-3702917545310421826?l=alphafloridachapter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Floridaflamingohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01142185992639633916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599296856283005445.post-15860105008712319852008-06-10T18:36:00.000-07:002008-06-10T18:42:37.422-07:00Does anyone know how our alma mater is doing in sports?
