Description
Things Jamaican is affiliated with the government and set up to encourage the development of Jamaican Arts and Crafts. There is an array of products, including rums, liqueurs, jerk seasonings, and jellies such as orange pepper. Look for Busha Brown's fine Jamaica sauces, especially their spicy chutneys such as banana, and their spicy "love apple" sauce (it's actually tomato). Many items are carved from wood - not only sculptures, but salad bowls and trays as well. You'll also find handwoven baskets and women's handbags made of bark (in Jamaica, these are known, unflatteringly, as "old lady bags").
