I have a seersucker dress in my closet that I wear often. It is soft and cool and needs no ironing.

Oh, we had these. My mom used to make all all our clothes. Including panties and bra when we started wearing those.

Me too! For the past couple years I been trying to find it. Most people don't know what I'm talking about.

The one with the pinch edge use to buy it at the school gate we use to call it gizzada

I'm not familiar with some of these treats, but do know and love gizzada. I wasn't a fan of a hard candy called Icy Mint, but did liked a ginger-tasting hard brown candy. I haven't eaten these things since I was knee high to a frog. I enjoy you talking with Jamaica's mature folks. Seersucker is an elegant and classic summer cotton fabric, usually in a textured check pattern..

This is great, thanks, Kareem, so nostalgic of childhood sweet snacks in Guyana. Grater cake: in Guyana it's sugar- cake (or coconut-ice in the UK, but always somehow lacking in the coconut flavour because they usually use desiccated coconut instead of freshly grated coconut). Coconut drops: in Guyana are chip sugar-cake (chip meaning tiny pieces). Both are made with a sugary base similar to fudge and with optional added flavours of nutmeg or cinnamon or cloves with a pinch of salt, too. I recalled having sugar-cake flavoured with fresh ginger😋

Where I live in Trelawny Gizzada was also called Puff, Grater Cake was also called Dossie.

What about stretcha? It was pink and stretchy. You would buy it at the school gate.

I learned that gizzada comes from the Portuguese word guisada, the name for a similar tart brought to Jamaica by Portuguese Jews fleeing persecution in the 1500s.

Thanks for sharing

Sounds true as Portuguese were slave traders and influenced a lot of the food and cooking in Jamaica. Portuguese cook rice and peas also. Shocked when I went to a Portuguese lady house.
