Irene, I would love to go to the local markets and try food made made by the vendors. I love bananas but I never heard of a honey bananas…they sound yummy! That barbeque…oh how I wish there was an aroma option on posts! 🙂

Your pictures told the story of a marketplace so well. Thanks for the tip about saying no to end the discussion, especially for drugs (yikes).

Irene, this is a wonderful story. I went to Jamaica about 6 years ago and loved it, on and off the reservations where I stayed, and strayed from. Thanks for bringing back great memories.

So glad you ventured out and experienced the market, Irene. I’ve not been to that market but it’s pretty typical.

Excellent article Irene and you’re right it is the complete opposite of Boqueria,but even more authentic and local!

I loved reading about your rich, descriptive experience going “off campus.” So interesting to hear about the culture through food – fabulous photos, too!
