Out of all the blk populations, do Jamaicans have the best food? 👀

Yes and I’m not bias

Jamaica was one of the harshest territories during the transatlantic slave trade, brutal conditions, extreme exploitation which led to major profits. But out of that came a lineage of people who had no choice but to be resilient, resourceful, and relentless. That legacy of survival and strength is why Jamaicans keep showing up and doing remarkable things worldwide.

I've never tried it but white people seem to love that stuff.


I'm just worried about entering the restaurant and not knowing what to order. I have no frame of reference for their cuisine. Or even how to eat it, since I think it's meant to be hand food.

 

[Pure Water]

No. Any group of people that refuse to learn how to properly cook macaroni can't have the best food.

Respectfully.

More and more Jamaican spots specialize in mac and cheese and yams now
rice and peas and cabbage was basic as shyt and made them have to change it up
They have the best meats tho . The meats get people into the restaurant and they choose ados sides out of necessity once they there
jamaican meats + ados sides might be the GOAT

I like that bread that Ethiopians got

 

[High Art]

Nah. It is good but not the best.

What does this have to do with food? Oppression makes for good food? I'm confused here.

I think OP wanted to hear about goat, and rice and peas and stuff. Not to take away from your grand speech or anything.

Oh for fukks sake, here we go...

 

[Lurkio]

I’m sure this will be a nice cordial discussion focused solely on cuisine

 

[Marlow Stanfield]

Nope. Us Americans do.

 

[Commish]

I like Jamaican food, but it isn't my favorite. IMO, good food is good food regardless of who makes it.

 

[Supa]

There is no best but Jamaican cuisine isn't as diverse once you get past their staple dishes.
