BONUS TREAT: Tony Rebel “Fresh Vegetable”
Though not necessarily about food, Tony Rebel created something of a vegetarian anthem (“Love you like a fresh vege-table!”) with this 1991 lovers hit on Penthouse Records’ A Love I Can Feel riddim. Years later he continues to ride for veggies at his annual Rebel Salute reggae festival. The positive music gathering (coming up soon, on Jan. 16 and 17th) adheres to strict vegetarian rules (and alcohol too is not served), with food provided by some of Jamaica’s toppa top ital vendors. Check out our photos from last year’s show here—and some of the food on offer here. —Kieran Meadows
