Your towel on the chair makes you my enemy, Fred. However, I do agree with some of this post. I guess my palate is more worldly.....I never, ever, ever, seek out USA food when I am out of the USA. Never. Why would I bother? And, unless I am in San Francisco, Little Italy or Italy, I NEVER EVER order Italian food, other than Pizza or Pasta. Why would I? St. Louis has the the fourth best Italian food in the world...
JA has great food. Somebody will make a concession to the Russian palate, if there is a profit to be made....hence.....Negril Nachos...FFS....

This is the key to this entire conversation. I applaud Anna for advocating for her clients. Nowhere is an opportunity to make money more quickly recognized or capitalized upon than Jamaica. If there is sufficient demand it will certainly be met.

WTF....????
I met 3 Russian ladies that were staying at Travellers in early Feb. They did not know very much English. They had a Russian English dictionary and the translation looked difficult. They were not into subs and I can imagine it was challenging for them to order food, etc.
Oriental? Now I have seen ignorant thrown around a few times in this thread, but I think this one takes the cake. Fred, it is Asian! Please tell me you don't call black people colored?
On a side note to those of you whom object to Russian food. Really? Why do you even care what foods restaurants choose to serve? The OP felt the need to throw it out there that a bunch of Russians have decided to make Negril a vacation destination and that they would like to see more familiar foods. Her delivery was a little straightforward and included non-relevant info to make her point, however if her facts were straight some business owners should take notice.
Don't know Fred. BTW, is it that you are writing from? Just wondering.

I have to ask...how much do you think that Negril and its food would really change....other then a few new places or some menu changes, Negril won't become little Russia just because of this requests....Jamaica has to change, just like all things....if it is not profitable, it won't be sustainable just like all of the other business opportunites..., and I bet it won't have an impact on any of our vacays, I would be shocked if it did, so why not.
Funny but this just reminded me that a few of the guys I know on the beach....I have actually heard them speaking Italian and German to these visitors...when I asked, they said that they picked it up from learning from the visitors...kinda nice actually. I've been to Germany and Italy, and I fumbled and I am sure made a fool of myself with their language....but these guys seem quite comfortable

We do have to be careful about letting those Russians into our Negril. Next thing you know Texans and other southern US tourists will be demanding BBQ or Indian tourists might insist on curry dishes. Its a slippery slope and I for one believe we should keep Negril free from outside influences. Even though I am from the birthplace of "Poutine" I would not expect to see a Jamaican version on the Seastar menu! Even though it may complement the wings real well at Sunday NFL game afternoons at.the hotel!
