Yes, the chickens

smith744,

Every adventure in Jamaica is an interesting one. The chicken farm is run by an old friend of mine and I guess he follows whatever rules / laws the the health dept in JA has in place. What many boardies / visitors to JA forget is that JA is a Third World Country behind in many ways to what Americans and Canadians think are the realities in the world. Smith744 I know you understand but an open air market be it Sav or Lucea or Kingston on a Saturday proves to be a very distinct memory. Hot temps, no refrigeration. It is a Third World Market. Beef, Pork, Fish, Chickens sold with flies in the air (and on the produce) blood on the cutting boards, etc... Some people might feel quite uncomfortable seeing the reality but it is what it is. I have never gotten sick by the food there so my impression is that everything is clean and germ free.
