| - Downsview Park farmers and flea market has the best jerk chicken and oxtail in this city. That's right -- the allegations are bold but so are the flavours that entail in these dishes.
The jerk chicken, which is $4.99, is delicious!
Flavoured thoroughly to the bones, and placed on a bed of rice and peas drenched in oxtail gravy, really only tells part of the story.
Ask for complimentary coleslaw (or fried plantains), homemade hot sauce, and voilĂ , the fairytale is complete.
I've been scouring the city to discover where the nicest jerks (pun alert) are, but I keep coming back to this weekend-only market just two stops off Downsview Station.
So hop off at Tuscan Gate for all of you bus-taking folks and check it out for yourself: King's Palace Caribbean, Food Booth E4.
And if you're already at the markets, grab a sugarcane juice, too.
Tell the owner you want that "sweet and sour secret drink." It's perfect with the meal.
Also check out all the other booths selling every kinds of food, fresh produce, and crafts.
This former Canadian Armed Forces air hangar has quite a lot to offer.
