    Still yet to try that, despite the fact I’ve been going Caribbean restaurants/ takeaways for like 20 years, lol.

    Always picking curry goat/ oxtail/ jerk chicken dishes.

    Gonna make it a mission that next time I go one I’m gonna try it.

    I am a Nirvana fan also and Shonen Knife toured with them in 1991 as the opening act, that`s how I got into them, they have been around for over 40 years and still going strong, Naoko the lead singer and founder member must have turned 60 now.
