Pure genius:
the 'beca...You hard like Rihanna.<br />Pure genius: <br />the 'because' is the real poetry there. Simple cause and effect: since I am from Barbados, I love food. My love for food is based on my geographical provenance. No need for further examination.

As a veggie who has given in to eating some forms of meat when out - just to have something to eat - I can relate. I am also a Conkie Junkie with it at the top of my list of favourite foods (sugar cane being #1 and conkie tied in 3rd place with great cake because of price only), eclipsed only by cassava pone in #2. N.B. only bajan foods factor in at the top of my list. And our menu isn't nearly as long as an Italian's!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15076448389201374561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255491668947443177.post-84912711357834187302009-12-02T14:06:54.136-04:002009-12-02T14:06:54.136-04:00Still rolling pon de floor!

Were it not for the conkie recipe I would have called it "The Perils of Vegitarian/Vegan/Portion-Size Conscious Eating at Christmas in the Caribbean"!<br /><br />Another beautiful reminder that who we are and what we stand for (whether we agree with it all or not) is a fine and wonderful state of being. Thank you for helping us celebrate that.<br /><br />And I comin' fuh my conkies JUST now!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265510867550828419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255491668947443177.post-22906688931136972512009-12-01T09:57:04.870-04:002009-12-01T09:57:04.870-04:00This is so brilliantly written, sis.
