A shady spot to eat...

It was a hard job, but somebody had to do it. Bacalao (dried codfish) cakes and bacalao and potato salad; jerked chicken and pork; curried chicken and fish; fish fried with aji chombo peppers; potato salad and coconut rice; ackee and guandu rice; Jamaican sticky buns and baked plantain; saril and isinglass and ginger beer and fresh orange juice --- so many things to try.

The food tent is always a main attraction at the Antillean Fair. And this reporter's "best of the best?"

Those would be the bacalao cakes you see frying in the fourth photo from the top, and this version of the saril that went heavy on the ginger and had a bit of allspice in it.
