      Why do u all have to show all spices & ingredients: Major countries and investors wit billions is using u all for free making more money: Stop showing all the ingredients: instead talk how much money the food cost: We are only making noise while worldwide we are being used: 3 men. Cooking 1-pot: what is this???: Stop showing everything: No other country in the world who are Utubers preparing food videos, ever show their preps only the finished product:

      All the Utubers, doing food preparations is now making me mad becuz they are selling out our food culture that make us healthy and unique but most of all they showing everything for free to the world and the world create and manufacture the raw material and sell it back to us making more money on our heads: a small little island like that:😮❤🎉

    Hi Mik
    Just a little request if possible could you please ask these chefs/cooks abit about their lives and how they got to where they got to, it would be nice to hear about their journeys to what they’re doing now, which is cooking and running a business. Thank you for all you do and sharing all wonderful foods of the Islands of Jamaica. I absolutely love it and am here for all of it. Sending much love over the ocean in Australia. 🙏🏾🧡

    Everything looks so good. I am feeling a sense of intense nostalgia. On that property at Rafter’s Rest, are 9 beautiful unobstructed ocean view villas. I used to rent villa #1 back in 1994. The good old days, swimming naked on a private beach, then lunching at the restaurant.
    Now I am living overseas. Time to make plans for returning to a simpler way of life.

It would encourage other kids his age, or younger to learn to cook. It's so good for kids to be self reliance. Your mom has been a good influence in you, and your brother's, and others life. Kudos to her. Keep Up The Good Work. Blessings.

I was only 6 years old, but I made sure I took in all of the beauty of Portland. I remember I was visiting my cousin Diana and the rest of my family from the UK. I will never forget the way that darkwooden floor was gleamed with luxury life.the Kardashians would have given up their right harm to life in such a moment. I love my country and the people. ❤❤❤

    The one issue I have is stirring the goat with the bamboo shoot. I do understand that this may be a customary thing; however, a very dangerous choice. Look at the video and see the bamboo string peeling off. That last thing you want is bamboo stings in your food or for some customer to swallow it.
    Other than that, this video, the food, I wish I was there to taste every dish. Keep up the great work. Keep this beautiful festival alive.
