Are you originally from the area ? Treasure Beach was one of my haunts back in the early eighties.

I also had a very good friend from Southfield - she died back in 2004. Imagine that her mum is still alive. I have two good friends from Treasure Beach.

Some of the words used by them, such as barbacoa ("barbecue"), hamaca ("hammock"), kanoa ("canoe"), tabaco ("tobacco"), yuca, batata ("sweet potato"), and juracán ("hurricane"), have been incorporated into Spanish and English.

I was so surprised to learn (some 30+ years ago) that the Barbecue was a Jamaican 'invention'. Saw the story featured in a Canadian produced documentary.

nitro is confused about his origin.

First, he was from the swamplands of the Georges Plain in Westmoreland, now he is from Southside in St. Elizabeth.

 
nitro 2022-08-06 14:39:18 

In reply to Drapsey

Born is different from lived. My pops was from Georges Plain. I lived in Westmoreland for about 15 years...well I am back but in the Capital of Casual.

In reply to Drapsey

Swamp lands? I do not think you know the area. Nitro says he is from GP but it’s really his father that’s from GP. No self hating, Trump supporting, limited thinking, person come from GP

 
Drapsey 2022-08-06 16:00:12

I thought Georges Plain was the place where all those rice 'paddies' are. They were known to be the biggest producers of pond-rice.

Breda Humble nitro is born again man .You are speaking of the old nitro. lol

 
HumbleCalf 2022-08-06 16:09:47 

In reply to Drapsey

Thought!

There WAS ONE small area (about 2 acres) where rice was planted...close to the main crossing. There was a lot more sugar cane than rice. Nowadays there is just a little area with sugar cane.
