Food looks great. Did you use any wood on that cook? I've been trying to find some pimento wood.
I used a couple of hickory chunks. I do have a pimento tree in the back but it is going to be a few years before I can start getting some wood from it.
 
Looks great! Love the crust on the chicken, looks like very good flavour. Love the real Jamaican sides, too. Our family (dad's side) doesn't make festival so I had to learn about it at a roadside jerk pit last time I was on the island (1998 ). My late father always said gungo peas, finally found out recently they are the same thing as congo peas, now I know how to buy them in the store. :laugh: My dad would have loved to sit at your table for that dinner. :thumb:

Kathy,
Just look for pidgeon peas.
 
Stingerhook, do you or your bride know the English names for custard apple, star apple and naseberries? And there was this other fruit, I think the kids called it South Sea apple or sousy apple, it's the shape of a pear, little bit bigger, bright red thin skin, stark white flesh that could have red veins. Not sure now about the red veins, though, I was 11 when I ate them on that visit. There was a large round pit in the centre, I don't think the flesh was attached to the pit. The trees grow quite tall and wide, I remember granny or dad saying the cows would snack on them in the afternoon when they were thirsty. It's crisp and thirst-quenching like an apple.
