  1. Time for today's Black Bean Vegan Mackerel and Rice Replacement. Super simple recipe but if you are #Jamaican you will see that the taste of the black beans is just like the taste of mackerel! Fry onion and garlic, add drained black beans, tomato sauce, Maggi seasoning and a scotch bonnet pepper, serve with rice!

  4. ‘It’s broken English’: MP’s attempt to speak Jamaican in Jamaica's Parliament sparks language row

    theguardian.com/news/2026/may/

    Burchell, the opposition spokesperson for culture, creative industries and information, approached the microphone and began to speak.

    “Madam speaka, mi git up dis afta noon fi mek mi fuss sectoral speech, pan me portfolio …”

    The Speaker of the House, Juliet Holness, immediately cut her off. “Hold on, hold on, hold on! Standing orders, and I think you are fully aware,” said Holness, who is the wife of Jamaica’s prime minister.

    The regulation to which Holness referred was the rule that only English – and certainly not Jamaican – is allowed in parliament. “If I have to stop you again during your presentation, you will not get any additional time,” Holness told Burchell as parliament erupted into protest, with someone chiding “broken English”.

  6. Have you ever wondered why you share your Scottish surname with a #Jamaican?

    If you have any interest in Scottish history, I highly recommend the book "Bought & Sold, Scotland, Jamaica & Slavery" by Kate Phillips. I knew that Scots / #Scotland had a long history of involvement in the slave trade & sugar plantations, but I had no idea of the depth of involvement, especially in #Jamaica. Every level of Scottish society financially benefitted directly or indirectly. An eye-opening read. #slavery
