Russians in Negril

[Flipadelphia26]

I can't believe I missed this thread.

I post on a flyers message board.

Last night.
"No more Russian mercenaries ever again". As a result if Ilya Bryzgalov being terrible.

Carry on.

I'm somewhat surprised to learn Russians crave their veggies. Besides cabbage carrots and potatoes I don't see a lot of Vegetables in their cuisine. Am going to work in Poland for 2 weeks tonight (hope to make it back for the boardie bash!) and I don't expect many greens. They do have Mcdonalds though. Hope the Russians find out about callaloo!

Hey Miss Anna, nice to see you on the board again!

I have seen the newspaper articles about more Russian visitors coming to Jamaica. Your food suggestions are very simple, really; and if just a few places decide to pick up on it, cool.

Jamaican chefs could do wonders with potato cabbage sour cream and jerk spices. Just look at Jamaican -Italian cooking

Alfred's serves steamed vegetables with their meals. The veggies vary but there's usually carrots, cabbage, and some greens. They have the worlds best mashed potatoes most nights as well. Be sure to try the mashed pumpkin when it's offered.
One of my favorite meals is the Chicken Stroganoff at Kuyaba. Russians probably prefer Beef Stroganoff but chicken is a great substitute.

I see a smart and creative restaurant owner who will come with some type of Jam/Russian fusion cuisine....and yes, have some cold vodka..I see nothing wrong with that-theres PLENTY of cookshops in and around negril to get the real local deal...I'm sure theres plenty of you that longed for a good ole burger, pizza or order american style breakfast-or american style anything (instead of Jam style) Your no different than Russians who want for something from their region...

Don't forget that not everyone in Negril is there as a visitor/tourist. People who live there year round get tired of the same restaurant and menu options and gladly are willing to patronize new places if the food tastes good, no matter what country of origin. Jamaicans too are willing to try new foods or twists on the same items eaten day after day. There is always room for something new in town. If there wasn't, Negril would still be the same little fishing village it once was, with simplicity the mainstay of the day, and those who have been coming long enough (even just a few years) know how that is no longer the case.

I just hope the Russian tourists heading to Negril, are not like the ones I have run across in Cuba.
