Island Time

Ah, the people who posts remarks to a blog. I recently wrote that many African/Carribean, etc. restaurants are slow. It may sound "racist" to say that (the educated reply was "you are an idiot"), but I've been to several restaurants where service was slow. I've read reviews of restaurants that are slow. Is this every restaurant? No. If I find a speedy Cuban restaurant or a speedy Jamaican restaurant, I'll go, but they are far less common than other places.

This is a cultural difference. In other countries, eating at a restaurant is a relaxing experience. It's not meant to be rushed. That's fine. I'm just not heading to restaurants that do this, unless I have time.

The people.
