A Taste of Jamaica:
A Guide to Jamaican Food
Introduction
Visit Jamaica and you will get caught up in the taste of the island:
the burn of the peppery jerk, the slickness of cold coconut jelly, the
richness of a truly world-class cup of coffee.
In a decade of travel to Jamaica, we've enjoyed meals that span the dining
spectrum: jerk from roadside stands, patties from small town bakeries,
shrimp from side-of-the-road vendors, home cooking from some of the island's
best chefs, and gourmet meals that could hold their own in New York or
Paris.
Dining in Jamaica is more than nutrition: it's part of the whole vacation
experience. Breakfast can start with a taste of one of the world's best
coffees, grown right on the island. Lunch might mean a chance to get out
and meet island residents who prepare a savory roadside dish in a manner
perfected by the Caribbean's first inhabitants centuries ago. And dinner
is far more than just the day's final meal, it's the evening's entertainment.
