A Jamaican Easter

By deshoda • May 19th, 2007 • Category: Features, Jamaica

Easter in Jamaica I’d like to think is pretty much the same in Christian based countries except for two things, bun and cheese. Christian families and some semi Christian families (that is those that only go to church on special occasions eg, easter, weddings, new years eve etc) will go to church on Holy Easter days example Easter Sunday and Good Friday. The Easter period is pretty uneventful besides that and traditionally carnival occurs around that time but thats for another post.

Bun and cheese is natively Jamaican and unless there is some significant Jamaican influence in a country you will not see bun and cheese being eaten at easter or any other time of the year. Bun is a baked product made with lots of spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon along with large amounts of mixed fruits (raisins, cherries, pineapple). The second part of the combo, is the cheese, any type will do ie cheddar, mozzarella, white but to have that true Jamaican experience you need to use Tastee processed cheddar cheese (the one that comes in the tin).

Cut two slices of bun and pop a slice of cheese in the middle and start munching! Great with milk.

deshoda is Sadly, I am seen as something of a simpleton with sacks of simple, sordid suggestions and statements. The stigma served to me is something short of spectacular and somewhat stimulating. I shall be stoic and shrug off all stultification and stand solid, sustaining my simple speech so as to stay sincere to self. Someone sufficiently smart to substantiate something somewhat substandard should not speak sparingly. This sojourn into my subconscious is meant specifically to sensitize the segregated segment of society specified by their synthesis. In summation i am simply scripting this synopsis to show how splendid it is to scribble seemingly shoddy shite.
