Miss Bones and her Mother are the first two vendors you meet at the entrance of the Montego Bay Market. Their polite mannerisms are rivalled by their expert local knowledge of herbs, bushes and exotic, non- mainstream fruit. Bones takes me on a journey of her spices, revealing inter- generational knowledge acquired from 3 past generations of family matriarchs. In this era of Covid Lockdown, we still need to source local foods.
Thankfully, the market is still open to give opportunity to the informal sector workers; who contribute to our food security and sovereign identity... Eat what we grow! Grow what we Eat!
