My memories of Good Friday are great. On Good Friday, we ate hot cross buns (my mother baked) and we drank orange peel tea, with brown sugar … no milk, for breakfast.

For lunch, we had fried fish, stew fish, cassava dumplings, green figs, ripe plantain –(boil and fried), ground provisions – dasheen, yam, sweet potato, Irish potato, eddoes, tannia and cassava – yucca. Salad – lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber… After lunch, we would go on the beach. There would be many people on the beach. No one goes into the sea, because, we were all told that we would turn into a fish if we did…
