Going down to St. John's Public Market around 6:30 AM tomorrow. For those who know their produce: which stall vendors carry genuine Cades Bay black pineapples versus imported ones from Costa Rica or Guyana?

Looking for the sweet low-acid ones with the golden core. Also looking for fresh goat meat for goat water.

Look for 'Auntie Joyce' on the south walkway near the butcher section. Her brother operates the small farm behind Old Road heading up toward Cades Bay. Real black pineapples don't have that sharp bite on your tongue—they are sweet all the way to the crown!

Get there before 7:30 AM or Auntie Joyce will be completely sold out. Take cash—small bills preferred.
