I need to dedicate one entire blog to the wonderful food we ate in Jamaica! Most of our meals were vegetarian, but when Alex learned that none of us were vegans, she also prepared foods with chicken and fish.
Pumpkin and Potato Soup
Our first night, Alex made a delicious pumpkin lasagna with eggplant on the side. It was extraordinary! I have since tried to replicate it, and have not had success. I hope to get her recipe soon. Delicious.
Fish with Pumpkin and Vegetables
Other meals we ate at Bromley included fish fritters with a fresh coleslaw salad, tuna salad with spinach and potatoes, pumpkin and potato soup, and chicken. At the beach, we ate tofu salad sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches, and cheese, tomato and lettuce sandwiches. For breakfast, we had fresh fruit daily (papaya, mangos, star apples – my favorite, grapefruit) along with eggs or pancakes. Desserts included flan, homemade mango ice cream, homemade coconut ice cream and lemon pie. Alex and Jonathan even took us out for jerk pork at Scotties one night. Scotties is a well-known jerk restaurant, but if you are a tourist, you might miss it all together, as the signage is hidden. In fact, we learned it was nearly across the street from where Jeff and I stayed in Ocho Rios a few years back. Never would have known it was there…
