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.

The
newly acclaimed and popular Carby's Souvenir
Discount Centre had led the way for yet a another
concept... this idea emerged from the acknowledgement
of the talented Jamaican Craftsmen and the growing
market for craft and souvenir items. Carby's
Craft Village opened its doors to the public
in November 2001. Our merchandise ranges from
Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, Straw Hats, Carvings,
Ceramics, Literature, Key Rings and many more
items too numerous to mention.

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").
