Jamaican Sunday Lunch

Growing up, one of the things that I gradually began to realize set me aside from my friends and classmates was the fact that in my house Sunday lunch was never a ‘Trini’ affair.

Roasted Chicken, Rice and Peas, Boiled Plaintain (shown above) replaced my neighbours’ fare of Stewed Chicken, Callaloo and Macaroni Pie. Although I eventually became familiar with Trini Sunday lunches in their many varying (yet oddly similar) varieties the above will always be my sentimental fave :) mmm perfection :)

Slowly but surely I am trying to get my mom to share my recipes with those on here who have clamored to learn more… as soon as I do I will let the posts begin! :)

Lucozade

Going through the photos I’ve taken over the past year, including my period without internet activity I came across this photo of a Lucozade bottle. A local drugstore was giving them away for Father’s Day 2007. Yes, random I know :lol: My first instinct was to check the expiry date… to my surprise it was still good!

To those who don’t know, Lucozade is the British ‘equivalent’ to Gatorade. And although I now prefer Gatorade, Lucozade will always have a sentimental place in my heart as I grew up on it. I can’t say I’m a fan of Lucozade’s new bottle and design, but maybe this is what the ‘kiddies’ today find appealing?

Growing up Lucozade was symbolized by the hella-fine British decathelete Daley Thompson (only one of the greatest athletes/medalists ever), who appeared in a series of ads for the beverage.

Recently, I found one of the ads on YouTube… I know this will bring back the memories for many a Trini :lol:
