SOME of the things I miss include: fungi, oxtail stew, goat roti, spicy doubles, saltfish pate, puerto rican seasoned rice, fried fish, johnny cakes, peanut punch, sorrel, tostones, ginger beer (carbonated ginger tea, no alcohol), guava berries, souse (not the cold, lunch-meat type thing in the states), lobster, curry goat, breadfruit chips, blood pudding, cow tongue, dumplings, conch ceviche, tamarind balls, callaloo, purple tania, beef tripe, chicken hearts, and passion fruit
Only 2.5 months until I begin the feast of champions! Can't wait.. :)
Here are pictures of some of the foods I mentioned.
Tostones (twice-fried green plantains, dusted with adobo and served with a garlic/lemon juice sauce.)
Sorrel (tangy fruit typically used to make juices or tarts.)
Blood pudding (yes, it has real blood, and rice in a sausage casing.) Sounds gross, but everyone that I have introduced to this delicious food agrees that it is something amazing!
Oxtail stew (much-like beef stew, but with pieces of beef tail.)
Spiny lobster (possibly the most delicious thing on the face of the planet!) This is one that I baked myself :) 
Breadfruit chips (sliced and fried in vegetable oil, dusted with adobo.)
Chicken hearts (typically fried, they have a delicate flavor. Yum!)
