I tried this yesterday. It’s amazing! I got the “small” and it was a ton of food. The beef was tender and the pork was porky. The flavors are outstanding. It has a such a homeade feel and it came from a cart! It’s a terrific dish and I highly recommend it to carnivores.

They ran out of stew peas and so I tried the cow foot. It was kinda gross, cow feet are pretty much just fat and cartilage. I couldn’t get over the texture, but my chinese co-worker, more familiar with eating animal feet, was thrilled to get my leftovers!

Stewed Peas Thursdays, the swine is in the back cart…

Probably the best dish I had from dutchy. Unlike oxtail, you can’t do much with the tail. And the shit looks gross. But the coconut and other flavors are oh so good.

Why does Mama sucking on a piggies tail give me Deliverance flashbacks?

I think the dumplings have something to do with cassava or tapioca, but I’m not sure.
I only had the stewed peas once, small meal, and while it was total amazing, I fell asleep during a credit document negotiation (hard enough to stay awake without eating 2.4 pounds of pig tails, beans, tapioca, fried dumpling plantains and rice. Did I miss anything?

yeah okay, so it wasn’t the small, it was the mini. I didn’t notice that.

Yeah, The mini meal is plenty. that has to be a pound of food alone.

Yea, there is smaller than small, which is Mini (which looks like your container). They make Mini Meals! I have the menu too – Mini Meals, on the right page and on top of Jamaican Special. Small is served in the usual-entree sized containers. I’ve gotten small and it’s a lot of food!
Large is probably the fat-man’s paradise or to be eaten to two regular folks.

I think they charged you 2 for the patty and 7 for their Mini. Stew Peas is 7 bucks for the Mini (Looks at yellow menu to confirm and SCORE!) Yay, lunch math rules! I know, I’m a dork. Whatever.

That’s what I meant by “small stew peas (no rice)”. Is there something smaller than “small”? I have a menu here, it says “Sm $9.00 Lg $11.00″.

If what I got was “mini” and the next size up is “small”, I don’t want to know what “large” is…

Adam – that styro-container looks like it’s from their Mini Meal, not small? 9 alone is a small order. You must’ve paid 9 for Mini & the patty?

Ender – I’m thinking Schnitz has the best $10 lunch.

Also for the record, I had the small stew peas (no rice) and a spicy beef patty. $9 total.
