O/K so what are the numbers of Oriental visitors who want Chow Mein? What are the numbers of Polish people who want knockwurst? What are the number of Scandanavians who want cheese fondue? Tell one of Annies rich Russian pals who have SOOOO much money to UM buy a place in Negril and make it Russian. (funny,i get hammered for a towell on a chair but this arrogant request is SO politically correct?)
I expect if there are enough requests for russian food, somebody will add it to there menu.
When iam in Jamaica i eat Jamaican food. Thats what i want. I certainly cant get it back here.
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...Originally Posted by Fred Stripe
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.

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.
I grew up eating Russian food. With very few exceptions, I don't seek it. Even when I am visiting kin in Brighton Beach. It is peasant food. Simple and made to get you through a long and cold winter. Not a hot and humid beach. That restaurant might replace local cuisine and eventually, you wind up with Cabo in Negril. And, to my way of thinking, that is not such a good thing. And, if you have ever been to a real Russian nightclub....you wouldn't want THAT in Negril, either....just sayin......
