protect you from the sun, covered arcades lead off King
Street, but everywhere are manypeople
going about their business. There are some beggars and
the inevitable peddlers who sidle up and offer "hot
stuff, mon"-which frequently means highly polished
brass lightly dipped in gold and fraudulently offered
at high prices as real gold. |

In 1836, Howe Peter Browne, 2nd Marquess of
Sligo returned to Westport, Ireland, taking with him memories
of the spicy and exotic dishes he had been served during his
governship of Jamaica.
Sligo himself was among the first to free
his slaves on his Jamaican estate - Kelly's and Cocoa Walks
estates- which he had inherited from his ancestors, the Kellys
and Brownes of Ireland; Jamaican settlers from the late 1600's.
The Brownes became wealthy and were numbered among the respected
members of the plantocracy who were famous for their entertaining
and the variety of food they served. In Jamaica their name
has always been pronounced " Browney".
Specially
selected recipes from his treasure trove are now being prepared
and bottled for Busha Browne's Company in Jamaica to be enjoyed
today as much as they were over 200 years ago.

The
Art of Contemporary Jamaica, features the paintings, drawings,
ceramics, sculpture and textiles of 20 Jamaican artists. The
works in the exhibition reflect the mixed culture of the Caribbean
island and western artistic influences, such as expressionism
and minimalism. At the same time, the artists deal with issues
of slavery, immigration and the history of their country,
a former British plantation colony.

Jamaican is affiliated with the government and set up to encourage
the development of Jamaican Arts and Crafts. There is an array
of products, including rums, liqueurs, jerk seasonings, and
jellies such as orange pepper. Look for Busha Brown's fine
Jamaica sauces, especially their spicy chutneys such as banana,
and their spicy "love apple" sauce (it's actually
tomato). Many items are carved from wood--not only sculptures,
but salad bowls and trays as well. You'll also find hand-woven
baskets and women's handbags made of bark (in Jamaica, these
are known, unflatteringly, as "old lady bags").
