Just thought I'd post a funny story about a friend who learned the hard way; never eat a food the location doesn't specialize in becuase your chances for dissapointment greatly increases.
A couple months ago a friend and I were in Sosua for a few days. While there, my buddy wanted to go to Sosua Beach and play chess with a certain Jamaican fella at his restaurant. I decided to tag along becuase there were a few friends I promised I would visit - could meet me there for a beer. Since he was at a restaurant he decided to go ahead and order some jerk chicken from the owner. I tried to secretely give him signs that it was a bad idea but I don't think he caught up. Meanwhile, I was talking to my friends and we all agreed he was nuts for ordering food from the guy. One buddy even mentioned that he has seen the owner wear the same shirt for over a week! Well my buddy got his food and I told him he should eat it at the villa so I can go back and pick up a few things from the house.
I sat at the dinner table and told the friend eating that food is not a good idea. He wouldn't listen so all I could do was tell him he's gonna learn the hard way about not listening to people with good intentions. A few hours later, my friend broke out in a sweat, grabbed his stomach and curled into a ball on the floor. He spent the remainder of the night releasing fluids from every orifice imaginable. A few friends came over and laughed at his expense. We laughed and yelled into the bathroom "aki, la comida Jamaica es no bueno!"
