Country (Island): Jamaica

Ackee and Salt-fish

jamaica%20ackee%20saltfish-1800x1800.jpg


What is it: The fleshy, yellow part of the seed pod from the ackee fruit is cooked with salted cod fish. When cooked, ackee looks similar to scrambled eggs. It is also often eaten for breakfast.It’s rare to find ackee elsewhere.

Why Is It awesome: It's Jamaica's national dish. The fruit is part of the lychee family and was imported from West Africa in the late 1700s. But ackee is a time consuming and somewhat difficult fruit to cook with, there are inedible portions and the unripened fruit is poisonous.

Bееf Patty/Cосоа Brеаd

jamaica%20falmouth%20spicy%20nice%20patty%20with%20coco%20bread-2-2000x2000.jpg


What is it: The Jamaican beef patty has a flaky crust with a variety of different fillings. If you are familiar with the turnovers or Latin American empanadas, this is very similar. The original filling is beef but you’ll also find chicken, shrimp, lobster and fish. A beef patty is a snack but if you want to make it a meal, Jamaicans also put it inside coco bread. Personally this Jamaican food is far too much of a starchy carb for me but I love coco bread and I could easily eat a loaf of that on its own. If you want to eat in best beef patty in Montego Bay you’ll find locals split between two spots, Juici’s and Tastees. I tried both and slightly preferred Juici’s for its flakey pastry but you can’t go wrong with either.

Why is it awesome: Because Jamaicans make it trill man.

Jerk Chicken

What is it: One of the most traditional Jamaican food, if you think you know jerk chicken you haven’t had the real thing until you try it in Jamaica. The name is derived from the Jamaican jerk spice, a flavourful mixture that marinates the chicken. Jerk spice is made from combining cinnamon, cloves, ginger, thyme, garlic, pepper and nutmeg. However, you can use jerk spice on anything including carrots. Many Jamaican restaurants also offer jerk beef, shrimp, vegetables and tofu. Jamaican jerk chicken continues to be the most popular choice.

Why is it awesome: Well, because it comes from the best..........the JAMAICANS :jawalrus:

Oxtail

What is it: Oxtail has a rich, meaty flavour that adds a hearty taste to warming winter stews and soups. It has a fairly large amount of creamy far covering the rich, dark meat with almost an equal proportion of meat to bone.

Why is it awesome: he world has discovered how delicious it is and it can be more expensive that regular cuts.

Sоlоmоn Gundy

jamaica%20stamp%20and%20go%20saltfish%20fritters-2000x2000.jpg


What is it: Fish has been used and salted for centuries in Europe and Canada. When Europeans arrived in Jamaica they brought salted fish, which continues to be used in many traditional Jamaican foods. However, this dish isn’t just a straight import. As a traditional Jamaican food the creamy salted fish pate is served on crackers and infuses the local spices of the country.

Why is it awesome: You take a guess.

Pоnе AKA Jаmаiсаn Pudding

15802037_1592521910774629_6744768254536843264_n-1024x688.jpg


What is it: Made with grated cornmeal or sweet potato or cassava along with coconut milk and local spices, this is a very popular dessert. Technically sweet potato pone is a bit harder than Jamaican pudding and you won’t find any raisins.

Why is it awesome: It's a food locals an tourists BOTH enjoy.

Tоtо

What is it: Toto is a traditional Jamaican dessert that is served at most family gatherings. This coconut cake dates back to the days of slavery when hungry slaves only had coconut molasses and flour for a meal.

Why is it awesome: Guess
