Kingston Shopping

To 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.

Things 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").
