    hahahahaa oh man, this is great Shey. Trinis are the same way - but for real, give me a plate of rice & peas and I'm STRAIGHT haha

    @Ehren trust me, its a good thing! What's funny is that my parents and siblings LOVE camping. But then again, I always thought I was adopted.

    @Andre Rice and peas with gravy is all a man needs :)

    Ha! The day i get my jamican friends in a tent is the day hell freezes over! Most of them would be happy with a bowl of rice. Never mind the peas and gravy.

    Good post!

    As a Jamaican I can say this is so true. Although I must admit I have been camping..... in my back yard and it lasted only 4 hours:-)

    I love camping, I have 2 very close friends from Jamaica, and I can tell you, you tell da trudt mon! My friend Bobby went with me one weekend. Said he wanted to try it. He didn't boil bananas, but by God, he brought rice and peas! We had a blast though. I'm going to have to show them this blog. Way funny!

    I did end up going camping and we did bring the rice & peas and more: http://flickr.com/photos/sweetsop/2662784643/in...
