Indeed!!! I love the grocery stores on SXM and have tried things I wasn't sure about with success. We don't speak/read French and have been on the island only two times so we are still newbies, I would say. I would linger and browse the shelves in awe but my boyfriend has the energy of an Olympic running team and wants to be in & out & on to the beach! Last April, I had such a craving for a really good aged chedder...the kind that has those yummy crunchy crystals in it and very sharp. I do love all cheeses, even the stinky ones but sometimes my tongue just wants something specific. Whitney, however, could live on a protein shake. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> So, my thought was to just bring the few things that I know I will want so I don't have to hunt for them, and then explore the rest.

Am I understanding correctly that Simple U does NOT carry the cheese assortment but Simply DOES? It was my understanding that Simply was clearing their shelves to be taken over by Grande Marche. It sure did look that way in April.

Our best finds in April were the grouper fingers at St Martin Yacht Club and a delicious pizza at Mezza Luna in Sandy Ground. OH! And the pizza at the walk up window across the street from Mezza Luna...YUM! I know we will find new favorites this trip!! I know we should focus on French and Creole but I would love to find a good Indian restaurant.

Thank you all for suggestions and sharing your knowledge! I wasn't good about posting a trip report last time because we moved residents directly upon returning but I will post after this trip! 3 more days to go!!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />
