Good Morning. Thinking about our annual trip to SXM (Dec 1) and looking for your suggestions/opinions on where to find the best spices and sauces? Also, vanilla. TIA

There are usually vendors at the Marigot market for spices. For sauces, Super U and Carrefour both have many unusual pre-made sauces in bottles, certainly unlike anything in my grocery stores around here. We often just gawk in the grocery store at all the unusual items.

Wendell--if we buy sauces like that, we just put it in a checked bag. Usually we don't open it on island, preferring to wait to be 'surprised' when we get home. Although truthfully, I don't think there would be any problem with it regardless. What would be the exact issue? A sauce would not be a fruit or vegetable or meat? Now, as far as spices, I guess the dog might alert on them, and they might think they were drugs?

IF it is a "non sealed" food product you could have problems. Some spices sold a the Marigold market are in bulk, put in a plastic or paper bag. These you could have issues with.
Wendell Several times we had brought back spices that had been in small baggies from the Marigot Market---especially "magic spice" with no problem. Then once what we had was confiscated. Since then we haven't attempted to bring anything home.
