Feeding the boys in white

AND there’s more; Courtney loves four-five (flour) dumplings, rice and peas and oxtail, whilst Lara enjoys goat with yams, banana and dumplings.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul, is also a lover of curry goat as, too, is Curtley Ambrose.

The now dependable team captain, Carl Hooper, enjoys the barbecue chicken and escoveitch fish, with rice and peas, steamed vegetables or tossed salad.

Leo’s buffet would also offer Chinese fare — Mallah chicken, chop suey or Teriyaki chicken.

There’s pork as well as steamed whole red snapper, and sliced snapper.

Chris Gayle has the sweet tooth.

Touring cricket teams have also enjoyed Leo Chung’s delicious fare and cricket has exposed the palates of many to Jamaican delicacies.

Last year’s South African touring cricketers heaped lavish praise on the food.

For them the barbecue chicken was moreish. For the Australians and in particular the Waugh brothers the oxtail received rave reviews alongside the yams and dumplings.

The Aussies rated the catering as the second best worldwide.

Perth Australia was naturally rated #1.

Leo remembers how English wicket, keeper Jack Russell, wanted grilled chicken breast everyday and Clive Lloyd’s request for a steady supply of Jamaican patties, Tastees specifically, to be in the changing room to snack on all day.

For India he has suggested a separate salad bar with as many as 10 items. He will offer two hot vegetarian dishes, and food for the strict vegetarians will be kept in separate containers. Yard food will also be offered to the visiting team which we plan to beat but at least feed them well.
