Q: What food customs did the Jamaicans bring to America?

A: Just about every single food custom you can think of!

Jamaicans living in abroad take their food with them...that's what they are used to and that's what they love.

Visit a Jamaican home and you will find the curry chicken, the jerk chicken, curried goat, "run-dung," rice and peas, stew chicken, hardough bread, the sorrel drink, the supligen, baba roots, the magnum, irish moss, beef patties, coco bread, fritters, dumplings, breadfruit, ackee, saltfish, escovitch fish, bammy, plantains, curried goat, cock soup, chicken noodle soup...and the list goes on and on.

In fact, there is such a demand, among the Jamaicans and others living abroad, for Jamaican foods, that Jamaican restaurants and foods stores have popped up just about everywhere.
