We as Jamaicans have this saying where we say " We no eat bush " meaning we aren't vegans or vegetarians and you will rarely see us eating anything without meat in it.😋😋😋😍
This clinches it! My wife, daughter and I are off to Jamaica! Vaxxed up, booked up, and in three weeks we’ll be trying every one of these! Twice! Great post!
Elvis Presley LOVED Jamaican food so much that he had a Jamaican cook for over 30 years and according to him she had magic hands in the kitchen. He’d get up in the middle of the night to indulge in his favourites. I’m a big fan of Elvis since childhood and I’m so proud he loved Jamaican food.
My first taste of Jamaican food was in Tampa FL at a Mom and Pop restaurant called Irie Bay near the place where I went to Collage. I was in heaven when I had my first taste of Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas, and Plantains with a Ting Grapefruit Soda. As well I also miss the Jamaican Spicy Beef Patties with Coco Bread!!!! Even though I'm not Jamaican as I'm Filipino and Scottish my Jamaican friends tell me I must have been Jamaican in my past life the way I love the food and never get tired of it!!! LOL!!!
For me, ackee and saltfish is #1 and curried goat using local mutton is #2. However, Jamaica has such a wide variety of sumptuous mouth-watering dishes that it is difficult to come up with a top 10 list.
That parrot fish is the truth, Ate it all the time on Guam theres nothing like Fresh island foods anywhere hands down.. where's that coconut crab and bread fruit. LOVE THE VIDEO
I have truly loved all these dishes when i traveled there years ago. Simply out of this world fresh and delicious ☺😊😀😁😄😃. ALL HAILS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST/NORWAY.
I've never had a bad meal in Jamaica or one that wasn't fresh. I had a street vendors tofu that was the best I've ever had anywhere. It tasted exactly like chicken. I prefer the vegan food, I love goats too much :) I miss Sorel so so much
Calloloo will save your entire life!! LOL. Luv the stuff!! My loctician is from Kingston and she makes it for me often. Dumplings, goat stew, and curried chicken, too. Luv Jamaica. Haven't been in 4 years...
@@evb.u it was a trade item. It came to JA 15 years later after Africa. Its not only reported to grow exclusive to Africa. It a traditional JA food. The video isnt about origin, its about common foods eaten in JA. XD we would be here all day sorting out what comes from where if that was the case. :-)
I'm honored to learn about the culture I love it! I'm just a regular black girl and I admire all things of Jamaica from food to the islands and dance! period just so beautiful!!!
Fun fact: Don't cook ackee and saltfish with tomatoes it will go bad easily but if you like it that way or grew cooking it that way that's your decision😁
🙏😭“Dear Heavenly Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen
Grilling salty or acidic seasoned food in aluminium is very unhealthy. Small parts from aluminium get dissolved by this way...its still better than if the fat is dropping on the heating coal (cancerous substances) But if u have a way to bypass the two options, do it :) Jerk chicken, callalou and ackee were my favourite food in jamaica
