The soil is fertile and produces rubber, cotton, sugar, coffee, cocoa, tobacco and nutmegs, all of which are exported; pimento (allspice) grows wild in the greatest profusion.
The best known of these are cloves, pimento (allspice), myrtle, eucalyptus, caraway, fennel, dill, coriander, rosemary, lavender, peppermint, spearmint, nutmeg, cinnamon, sandal-wood, turpentine, juniper berries, valerian and sumbul.
Slice the roe and slowly braise for half an hour in the mixture, adding the pimento.
You can spread jelly, or mayonnaise and cheese, or pimento cheese.
Perfect presentation can be part of the cocktail experience and a lovely lime twist or plump pimento stuffed olive can make a good beverage perfect.
