    Hi from Ontario Canada again, my Dad used to say 'had my ears lowered' and as kids we thought it was just silly Dad. Now I'd give anything to hear him say it again. Thanks for another fantastic video Gary. You make me think of all the places that he used to talk about and all the British food he loved. He was born in a London hospital that's no longer there and flew in the Royal air force in WW2 and settled in Canada. No matter where he went, England was his home. He'd be right here with me enjoying your wonderful sense of humour if he was still here. You do more than review food and restaurants. You make people happy. Cheers.

    Yes, Gary finally indulges in our Jamaican delights. You need to go deffo go Sabina Park for a game as the vibe and atmosphere is insane. Advise if you go ever to Jamaica, please venture outside Montego Bay (tourist area) so you get to see the real life of Jamaica i.e Portland, St Thomas, Port Royal. The food never dissapoints. ps. You need to try Ackee & saltfish and patties (like cornish pasty).

      Ackee and saltfish is great! I worked with many Jamaicans in South London, and a few are lifelong friends. I wish I had visited Jamaica. I would not have gone to Montego Bay. Should have taken Claire, but she had her man at the time, or Rastaman Jimbo. My late brother adopted him for a son. I've been to Barbados twice, and Antigua, but I'm too old to go back to the Caribbean to end my days!

    Hi Gary, been to Turtle Bay and we really liked it, we had the Jerk platter and a few beers, it was really nice, we were extremely surprised as we weren't expecting such high quality from a chain restaurant. Especially enjoyed the chicken and the sausages, not too much of fan of ribs, but the wife loved them, but couldn't finish them. We gave it an 8 out of 10. Another fantastic review, mate and congratulations with reaching 90K subs, well deserved. Have yourself an absolutely wonderful rest of your day and take care, mate! Email inbound tomorrow.

    Hi Gary we ate at the Turtle Bay in Coventry last year and had a very good experience. Shared a few small plates and then we both had the curry goat hash which was delicious. A bit fatty but maybe goat is just like that. Similar interior but it was rather noisy on a busy Saturday night! Maybe they turn the music up. The service was excellent, very friendly and helpful as it was our first visit so we needed a lot of the menu explained to us!

    I gave it 8/10 before your score this time. My Jamaican assistant, Claire, whan I was working back in Peckham, invited me round for Saltfish and Ackee, which was nice. A traditional dish. In Barbados our housekeeper, Arlette, used to cook up flying fish for breakfast, straight off the boat, and her mum used to knock up a great BlackPudding and Souse. Some great food we had with the Bajans. We were staying in a beach cottage well away from the other tourists.The locals looked after us very well. Caribbean food is great. I looked for those 2 dishes, but they weren't on the menu. Flying fish wouldn't be anyway. I wish I could return to Barbados! I like goats too much to eat some, mind.
