In different stores in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands (and nowhere else). |
Momma
raised me to have an open mind when it comes to trying new foods, and I do!
Lovely
and luscious as the Caribbean’s fabulous fruits*are, I was still homesick for
some flavors. Missing in action? Adams Peanut Butter and Spike No Salt Seasoning.
*banana,
mango, papaya especially soursop! and more
Peanut
butter and jelly (PBJ) is a passage staple for us. Our PBJ was especially fruity and peanutty as I buy high fruit,
low sugar jams, and Adam’s sugarless peanut butter. With persistence, I did manage to find some great low sugar jams, Waitrose
Reduced Sugar.Raspberry Jam is a tasty new favorite. Unsugared peanut butter apparently is not a high demand item
in the Caribbean. Adam’s distribution in the United States in pretty good, but
not in the Caribbean between St. Lucia and up until St. Thomas, US Virgin
Islands.
Spike is our favorite no salt seasoning. Mrs. Dash is easy to find; Spike is not. We add it to potatoes, ramen, eggs and tuna salad... or whatever else strikes our fancy.
We
settled for less, but a lot less often than when we could create with Adam’s
sugarless peanut butter. We still
were able to make do well enough to invoke some culinary corruption (click here to read about that),
though Lili and Tomaz believe they too would prefer an unsweetened peanut
butter.
After
6+ months of looking for them, we found both -- Adams Peanut Butter and Spike
No Salt Seasoning -- in the same day! Our tastebuds are doing a happy dance!
We will stock up well on these before we begin our foray into the South Pacific next year!
