The Peanut Man

Need a quick fix for a growling tummy? Don’t worry, there is always a Peanut Man! And he is usually riding a bike and wearing a tam (a cloth wrapped around their head, or a crocheted hat, to protect their dreadlocks). Whether it’s in the car park, at the fundraiser, outside a bar, in the bar, at the Fish Fry, the cricket, at the hairdresser or by the stop light, he’s there! Peeeeanuts! Irie nuts, they shout out loud, and a quick nod gets you a brown paper bag of roasted peanuts for only $1! They are fresh roasted in the shell by Rastas, and so a cheap healthy snack with a blessing from Jah!
