Ask Cooking With Kerwin: What Is The Most Common Jamaican Foods
I got a question today and I figured I should answer it here:
Q: What is the most common Jamaican food?
A: To answer this question, its best to break it up into categories, as I don’t think there is one particular food that is most common over other foods. So here goes.
- Breakfast
- Ackee and Saltfish – This one is an acquired taste
- Lunch
- Patty and Coco bread
- Snack
- Bun and cheese – This is very popular around Easter time, but its eaten all year round. Bun is like a mini cake and its sliced and a pieces of salted cheddar cheese placed in the middle.
- Dinner
- Rice and peas – Most everyone has this dish on a Sunday and then it lasts for the week as leftovers a few days.
- Curry goat –
- Oxtail – This is actually the tail of the cow, cut into about one inch pieces. It is quite delicious and even better if its cooked so the bones are soft.
