I remember this spot in the late 80’s, as one of those ‘must-stop’ areas for persons visiting Westmoreland. It wasn’t as established as it is now, but the vendors were there in an organised manner and vehicles were lined up along the stretch. Decades later and the vibes is still the same, only this time, kareemsquest.com was informed, the stalls have been developed to look more modernised for the vendors.
Watch the video of the week below
Sometimes on a slow day, you’ll see them running to cars with a big fry fish, adorned with onions and scotch bonnet pepper, on a plate. Then running behind these persons are other vendors who sell bammy, as the two food items go hand in hand. At first it can seem intimidating however, once you realise how friendly they are, your mindset will change.
This is one of the most authentic Jamaican experiences you can have, as the vendors are filled with vibes and anecdotal stories that will leave you laughing. It reminded me of hanging out with the crab vendors at Hero’s Circle in Kingston.
