Sunday Morning breakfasts were the very best for us as well. It was big, special, and always after Mass. So, tea and toast and an orange, religiously, before Mass; then nice long conversation-rich breakfast around the table.
Ahh, those Sunday morning 'Jamaican Big Breakfast' moments... How much time do we have...😀 Ackee and Saltfish ...and anything Callaloo and salt fish ...and anything Fried fish and Bammy Fried fish and Hard Dough Bread Hard Dough Bread/Butter, eggs, sausages Seasoned Turn Corn Meal (Made with saltfish, tomatoes, onion, thyme n spices, etc.) as a side dish Corn Hominy Liver and Young Bananas Mackerel and Young Bananas Fried Dumplings and Anything... Roast Breadfruit/Fried Breadfruit and Anything... Coco Tea/Chocolate Tea, Milo, Ovaltine, Horlicks, etc. Fish Tea...For the 'serious' Men of the house...and Adults...🤣🤣 Late morning Sunday...Somewhere between that huge breakfast and Sunday Dinner. You have things like... Coconut custard, Home processed/Home brewed coffee, Dragon Stout mixed with eggs/condensed milk, nutmeg and rum...(Yuck!! and No Thanks!! But I wouldn't dare say that🤣🤣), Soft jelly coconut, sweet grapefruit, condensed milk n nutmeg mixed together in a glass...Scrumptious and delish...🤣 Did I leave out anything? I must have left out some of it. Remind us...🤣🤣
Nothing is as sweet as that long Jamaican breakfast- the oil on top of the chocolate tea, the guava jelly, ackee with cheese, tin mackerel and everything already mentioned
I just love listening to your stories. It just brings me right back to Jamaica. I’m from Trelawny right next-door to Saint Anne’s and yes that was our kind of living, living on the farm, it was such fun -oh my gosh these kids don’t know what they’re missing. 🥰
Hey Mel it is a tight knit family that is filled with love, yes there are codes that the kids speak with and now the grandchildren will take over where they left off. Mel your life experiences make me smile because it's so surreal I could listen to your life experiences all day not boring not at all!! Keep it up Mel you just don't know how it makes other feel to know it's real.
Funny you should say that @Andre Clark Milton - when i finished recording this one, I thought of not posting it. I mean these are my stories, special to me, just really wasn't sure that everyone would see them as I do. Thanks for the encouraging words :) I really enjoy sharing the stories :)
Auntie what kind of music you play or listen to with the family..just curious 🤨 And does the kids still listen to the same music … Yea Dogs 🐕 are so intelligent & smart and knowledgeable..I couldn’t see myself having one in the house But I loveeee and adore dogs 🐶
Thank you again for another one of your wonderful videos. I have two kids of my own and often times I wish for the simple times. Internet mash up everything. Please keep on sharing your stories.
Nice. Just describing the Sunday morning breakfast and family time, took me back to nostalgic family times growing up. These times were special. Present times are boring, individualistic and unhappy.
I just had to pull over and write a comment. I was nostalgic and it wasn't my experience. I grew up in Kingston and loved it. No traditional toys but we had lots of fun. Life was good and food also. I love your stories
@@CountryWhiteJamaican Wow, i lived in Claremont for a year in 1965-66 then moved to Runaway Bay for a few months then finally Hopewell Park in Discovery Bay. My dad worked at Kaiser.
I did a video about it called Why I left Jamaica Keeping it Real that tells the story. Not sure yet if I'll return to live but I will definitely return again and again lol
Those were the good old days ❤
I can see that you are a real jamaican I love this this is wonderful thing you make me feel proud to be jamaican .

That’s good eating together - awesome family tradition😊 assists in having a close family
@cherryl gentles true and it happens less ans less these days!
Auntie what kind of music you play or listen to with the family..just curious 🤨
And does the kids still listen to the same music …
Yea Dogs 🐕 are so intelligent & smart and knowledgeable..I couldn’t see myself having one in the house
But I loveeee and adore dogs 🐶
We listen to a wide variety of music but a LOT of reggae, dancehall, lovers rock. All depends on who in the family is the selector LOL

Just discovered your channel. I am also a white Jamaican and grew up in Discovery Bay in the 70's.
That's great! Nice to have you join us. I grew up in Claremont in 60s and 70s :)
@@CountryWhiteJamaican Wow, i lived in Claremont for a year in 1965-66 then moved to Runaway Bay for a few months then finally Hopewell Park in Discovery Bay. My dad worked at Kaiser.
I was 2 and 3 years old at that time. Did your dad know Con Pink?
@@CountryWhiteJamaican Yes, i knew him too and still keep in touch with some of his daughters and his widow on Facebook.
Same here :) maybe our paths crossed somewhere along the line 🇯🇲 🇯🇲
What made you leave Jamaica? Are you planning to retire back there?
I did a video about it called Why I left Jamaica Keeping it Real that tells the story. Not sure yet if I'll return to live but I will definitely return again and again lol
You are beautiful.
You are kind. Thank you 😊
