Today was our field trip day to Ochos Rios and Dunn’s falls and get some of our Touristy needs out of our systems. Climbing the falls was a great and walking around town was fun, but in reality I couldn’t escape the idea that walking around the pseudo-town that lives and breathes solely for the luxuries and fantasies of the tourist’s island dream. I needed to find something that was innately Jamaican – somewhere where the locals went and that the locals appreciated. Thankfully, Richard came to the rescue with a brilliant piece of research and foresight! Richard had thought to ask one of the dive masters at the Marine Lab, a bona fide born-and-raised Jamaican, where to find the most quintessential Jamaican food item to Stony Brook night time snackers: the Jamacian Beef Patty.
Snow had told us to go to a place called Mother’s Patties. I got the cheese and beef patty and yes, it was deeeeeeeelicious. Roxanne, Lucia, Richie and I all had to sit around trying to cool off the fresh patty for a good before eating it but it was oh so worth it.
It’s $100JA to the $1US, don’t worry!

When I first saw this picture, I panicked thinking we didn’t give TJ (Taylor to her friends) nearly enough money . Thanks for explaining after the conversion factor. Whew!
Glad you did that. When I vacation, I am with you-talk to the locals and find out what the locals do.
It would be just like Emily to find an underwater Pattie stand!
