Russians in Negril

[Bnewb]

Honestly... I think the only thing on her list I have never had there is sour cream... And that's probably because I order local food when I jamaica.

And really... The comment that burgers are for Americans and pasta is for Italians borders on ignorant. I guess as soon as the hotels realize I am an American of German descent, with a Jewish wife that it should be Wiener schnitzel and gefelltie fish all around.

Hussyband...Miss Anna is simply suggesting/hoping to have the option once in awhile of food they are most familiar with in Russia.
I don't believe anyone is suggesting that Italians only eat pasta, Americans only eat hamburgers...it was a simple example of common food choices in the respective countries.
If you ask the old time hoteliers...pasta was put on the local menus from the suggestion of their Italian guests.

And, you can get wiener schnitzel at a couple of locations here...I would try the German Bar at Mary Bay...

I will pass on that one, Bnewb. But, thanks. . I have had some very interesting food interpretations when in JA, the worst of which was a grilled cheese sandwich from sharks (although everything else they made me was delicious), I think I will pass on the jamaican schnitzel and stick to the snapper and ackee I have grown to love.

Funny you mention grilled cheese sandwiches - when I first asked for one here in Negril back in 1985 - I got a very puzzled look from the chef, but he did eventually bring me a sandwich with the cheese grilled, the bread wasnt grilled, just the cheese - which had to have been quite a challange..... it would seem to me that us North Americans got that placed on many a menu in town.... (grin)
