A Bahamian breakfast
Here's what I had for breakfast on Sunday morning with my new friend Kermit Rolle.
Kermit is the 74-12 months-antique owner of Kermit's Airport Lounge in Exuma. I told Kermit that I desired to eat like a Bahamian and that I had a a while to kill. So he pulled up a chair, got me some sheep's tongue souse and johnny cake and proceeded to inform me his lifestyles tale. Sheep's tongue souse is outstanding by using the way and I'm looking anywhere for a recipe however lamentably I am hanging out. Anyone? Anyone? I realize it turned into made with the boiled entrails of both a sheep or a goat, lime juice, potatoes, onions, allspice and Bahamian Bird Peppers. Man, who knew boiled organ meats should taste so right?
But more than the meals, Kermit Rolle is the excellent story-teller I've ever encounter. He advised testimonies of a life so remote from mine it become tough to accept as true with. Experiences like Sunday morning's at Kermit's Airport Lounge are why I tour. An hour spent with that man had me stunned with gratitude for the way smooth I've had it after I examine my existence with a person inside the developing global. And on the equal time I changed into struck with a deep admiration that someone should have the life he's had and be so glad and thankful as he appears again on it and talks to strangers like me. His pleasure ought to rely as an aspect inside the first rate sheep's tongue souse.
