I remember my first taste of mannish water. It happened at a collection of roadside stalls. I was on a trip to the North Coast with Lloyd Hamilton, and we were headed out to Sunsplash 79 at Jarrett Park, with a film crew in tow behind us. We turned inland from Spanish Town and in between Linstead and Ewarton, not far from that red lake poisoned by the alumina plant, there were about 30 stalls selling every kind of cooked food you could imagine, and all wonderful. I had my first taste of fire-roasted corn there too.
Now these food stall collections are on every major thoroughfare across the country, but there were less few then. |
