Curry Chicken

I made the "mistake" of taking this one to a potluck at my job the other day. Now everybody want me to cook it for them. I don't think so!

The idea was to give them a taste of one of Jamaica's best! Nothing else!

Well, a few of them would not let me off the hook, so I decided to give them the recipe.

But let me say this! If you have never tasted Jamaican curry chicken, you don't know what you are missing! If you want "fe" try it, click here.

Jamaican Meat patty
Another delicious delight...

we eat this one on the island almost everyday...mainly for lunch with a bottle of 'soft drinks' (soda) and a cocoa bread on the side.

Though there are different kinds of meat patties, the most popular one is the spicy beef patty. Learn how to make yours the easy way right here.

Jerk Chicken

The key to this one is the smoke from the fire. That along with the spices really nice up the flavor.

When the cooking done, you just chop it up and add your jerk sauce along with a slice of Jamaican bread. here's the secret

Escovitch Fish

My favorite fish to use for this one is red snapper.

It is very easy to cook, here's the recipe...

Callaloo
The last one on the list of Jamaican foods, for now, is callaloo. I call this poor man food.

You don't have to have a whole lot of money for this one!
