“Ef yu cyaan get turkey, yu haffi satisfy wid Jancro.”

If you are unable to get turkey, then you must be satisfied with John Crow.

No well-thinking Jamaican would be “caught dead” with a portion of crow’s meat in his plate. However, this proverb simply advises us to be prepared to accept situations that may not be to our liking, for peace sake. Sometimes second best is not so bad after all.
