Trelawny - do you like the bread from Brown's Caribbean bakery on GA avenue? I only go there to make Jamaican gift baskets for friends who don't have access to Jamaican foods. Just wondering...

We drive all the way to your side to the Jamaican ice cream store...Damien loves his grapefruit ice cream....

Brown's bread is okay...but not like the ones in New York or Miami, so when I can't get it from those areas I'll settle with Browns. You must be talking the ice cream shop on Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring. My dad did not like the way the grapenut ice cream taste up here, so he makes his own...

Okay...Damien doesn't eat Jamaican bread anymore...that's probably why...

He also likes the other ice cream flavors...Guiness, sour sop, sweet sop, etc...

Big up to daddy whose making his own ice cream...would u mind sharing the recipe in a pm as mr jengles only liked the grape nut from the ice cream truck and not the store.

mr jengles says he now understands why Americans are so big, claims the servings up here are overly large and everything is fried and we eat on the run...

ok I have never had jamaican ice cream before. The flavors just sounded wierd to me so I never tried them. I'll have to try some next visit. i know the Devon House ice cream was nasty when I had it...can't really remember the flavors but it just had a wierd taste. i think it may be the milk they use in JA. i don't drink cows milk and maybe it just had too much cows milk in it I dun kno.

I stick with the fruit flavors like mango or pineapple...they probaby have more sugar than milk in them.
