Bammy

Bammies are sometimes fried straight up or soaked in coconut milk and then fried, steamed or baked. Bammies can be served with sweet syrup or as a breakfast food.

Yet, it is more common to find bammy bread with fried fish, beef or cheese.

Ackee and Codfish

This is Jamaica’s national dish. 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.

Jerk Chicken

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.

Stаmр and Go

This traditional Jamaican food often pops up at casual get togethers, family dinners and special occasions.

The unusual name is supposed to have been derived from a tradition of the 18th-century British sailing ships.

If an officer wanted something to be done in a hurry the order he shouted was “Stamp and Go!”

This dish also uses salted fish. The bitе ѕizеd version works perfectly as finger fооd or appetizer and is often infused with spicy peppers.
