This past week I was in Grand Cayman on vacation. It was a wonderful time that went all too fast. Seven Mile Beach was idyllic. Stingray City is a must. And the locals are very helpful and friendly. Eric Ripert’s Blue at the Ritz-Carlton was exquisite, but Casa Havana at the Westin Casuarina was even better. There are many things I will remember fondly about Cayman, like the warm breeze, the fresh fish, and those exotic cocktails.
Speaking of which, at a duty free shop in the airport holding pen, I couldn’t help notice a brand of rum that may be the most politically incorrect and offensive I have ever seen in my life. I report this with all seriousness and concern, with the aim to inform, and not for laughs.
Named in honor of the legendary pirate Richard Le Noir, the rum is called Big Black Dick. Yes, it has its own website–just don’t forget to type the word “rum.” Here’s a partial description of the rum from said site:
Some have described it as stiff, yet tasty.
So, next time you travel to Grand Cayman, get yourself some Big Black Dick. It’s an experience you’ll always remember.
And to think I was just going to write about Pickapeppa sauce.
