    This is soooooooo un –presentable!!!!!! Just shows how unprofessional farmers and sellers of food in Dominica are. A Carib Basket or a box or a plastic container would have better. My goodness we are in 2012

    All shall eat, all must eat, all will eat, and all are eating, except me cause I am not home. I mis that sort of food. Dry dasheen, fresh fig and the other ingredients to make a hot broth, with some “Boda MaJack” to top it off.

    Oh how I miss my sweet Dominica.

    A broth with doewad (fish)with fresh herbs and scotch bonnet pepper and cabbage, would go down very well – Fresh produce from the Nature Isle. Dominica We love You!!!
