Food Culture

Hanover is where people from Negril and MoBay go when they want to eat without paying tourist prices. Lucea, the parish capital, has a market and cookshops that serve the most honest food on the north coast. This isn't a destination parish. It's a locals' parish. The food reflects that. No performance, just dinner.
