Next time you should visit the east coast, Melbourne FL. Small town but we
have a takeout Jamaican restaurant "Jerkeys" that serves fiery curried goat,
oxtails, and jerked pork and chicken that are awesome. There are some Thai
places that are also good. On the whole, Florida food is devoid of hot
chiles.
I take my vacations in Phoenix (I can't take the cold any more) and load up
on Tex-Mex food and haul back cans of ingredients that I can't get here.
