Hi Everyone,
Well look-eey hey. A woman caused cuhmess (Bajan slang for commotion) earlier this month, when she got up in one of Barbados’ Anglican churches during the announcements session, to encourage people to bring a Bajan dish for their upcoming day of fun to mark Barbados’ 50th Independence, and had to nerve to say, “No pasta dishes, please. That is not Bajan food.” Whaaaat? That meant that macaroni pie, lasagna (meat or veggie), pasta with minced-meat sauce, macaroni salad, and macaroni and tuna casserole – foods Bajans eat daily – were off limits.
People turned in their seats to look at one another questioningly, and when the mass was over, worried discussions ensued as to what to take to the fun day.
