OT: A Romantic Date

[uconnphil2016]

just picked up some Jamaican food from Carl’s on silver lane. Got it for take out and eating in the parking lot at the rent with yams. Field is looking good boys

 

[Exit 4]

Are you dating Yams or The Boneyard?

Have you ever tried Dunn’s River off Main? The food there is great

I actually don't really like Dunn's River. I've tried it a couple of times but always found Carl's to be better

Gonna try Carl’s next. Will let you know what I think.
Nothing like good Jamaican food though.

The boneyard always responds to me so you do the math

Saz on the Berlin Turnpike just recently opened up, another Jamaican place. This might spur me on into trying it.

Anybody try Humacao’s on silver lane?

 

[formerlurker]

UMBear would be proud of you right now but slightly disappointed you didn't find a way to dine on the 50yd line.

Curried goat with rice and Red Stripe beer. Mmmmm ....

Almost as good as hot Durban lamb curry with a Castle Milk Stout.

I got the curried goat. I’d definitely recommend Carl’s!

I’d hurry up. 6 months is about the average lifespan in that spot.

True dat. Nothin lasts since 99.

You are preaching to the choir.

I’m a big, big fan of Carl’s. Used to hit it up weekly when I was working in East Hartford. Humacao obviously isn’t Jamaican but it’s very good too.

Being a big Carl’s fan (and Jamaican food in general), I was pumped for Saz on the Berlin Turnpike...

Yikes.

It was the blandest food I had ever eaten. I was expecting Carl’s and it was a far, FAR cry from Carl’s.

Or as Jamaicans say in patois the food was fresh= unseasoned.

Don’t believe UMBear and I ever crossed paths on the board, but I’ve heard he was a staple figure on the yard

There’s a Jamaican spot near Wood n Tap in Vernon. Only went once but it was delicious.

I left Connecticut in 1986 and I don't remember Jamaican food being a thing back then. Maybe I've been gone too long. I'll have to try some next time I'm "home".

I think maybe more so in Hartford area where there’s a large Jamaican population

Going strong at the West Indies Club on Albany Ave. Upstairs for lunch on weekdays. Not really sure if membership was required or not, but a bunch of us at the office were invited by a colleague who was a member. The parallels with South African food were obvious.

Carl’s is made with Jamaican love

I’ve never been myself, but a coworker likes to bring in food from Peppers in EH and it’s pretty darn good. Beef patties and coco bread FTW!

Today is as good as any to start.
