totally agree.
I honestly couldn't look at some of the food when I was in the
caribbean.
I picked up a bug half way through my vacation.......and I had to
remakin close to a loo for days.
The chicken and meat even looks different from what we get in the west.
I suspect that they use a lot more of the animal than we do.
I was almost going to venture into the one Kentucky Fried Chicken on the
island that I was on, to see if their chicken looked the same as the
strange chicken i was seeing elsewhere on the island.
