For years (article published in Barbados Underground in 2007) I have been saying that diabetes, hypertension, Alzheimer, erectile dysfunction and several other similar conditions all have the same cause, the inability of the body to metabolise carbohydrates effectively, a condition named Chronic Metabolic Collapse Syndrome.  The medical community is only now recognising this.  It will take at least another 15 years before they start recommending effective methods to prevent these conditions.

    G.P,

    I can cook other things very well.. But my steamed food does not taste like the old time steamed food. There is just something missing that I cannot determine.

    @ Donna who wrote ” steamed food does not taste like the old time steamed food.”

    You can compensate with well seasoned steamed fresh fish.

    Hants,

    My grandmother and my mother both made their own seasoning. I helped but never made it entirely on my own. That is what makes the difference.

    Did you check out my posts to the diaspora corner? You brought back great memories with your posts.

    I grow some of my own herbs, but I also buy some from a dreadlocked gentleman near to Cheapside market, opposite St. Mary’s church wall. B buy a bunch or two of whatever he has on hand, wash the lot, put it out on paper towels to dry, then chop with a pair of scissors (easier than using a knife) then process in a food processor with some salt. I put in jars and keep refrigerated. Use a clean spoon each time as you dip. Season fish, chicken, pork, add a little to your scrambled eggs and your fishcake batter. A lovely complex flavour, and much tastier than heavily processed seasoning. But it is a fresh product so please don’t make too much at a time.

    I use eshalot, chives, thyme, marjoram, leaf garlic, parsley, onion,garlic pods, scotch bonnet pepper, sweet basil, flavour peppers, black pepper, salt, and whatever other herbs are available. The more the merrier. I make enough to last me for about a month, and the same for the adult children.

    You can probably grow chives and sweet basil, and leaf garlic yourself. They are easy to grow. In fact both the garlic and the basil grow as fast as weds, so you might want to confine them to a large pot, or they will try to take over your whole garden.

    I buy from the man opposite St. Mary’s because he seems to always have the widest selection, especially on Saturday mornings.
