Jamaica

Jamaican cuisine is bold and flavourful, famous for its use of spices and tropical ingredients. Signature dishes include jerk chicken, marinated with scotch bonnet peppers and allspice, and ackee and saltfish, the national dish. Rice and peas, fried plantains, and fresh seafood are staples, often seasoned with thyme, ginger, and garlic. Jamaican food embodies the island’s vibrant culture, bringing together African, indigenous, and colonial influences in every dish.
