Jamaicans love spicy food. We have a variety of dishes that are loved by both locals and tourists. Food is the staff of life, and so we indulged in our favourite dishes from time to time. Ackee and saltfish is a rave. If you come to Jamaica, its a must that you taste a little of our National Dish. I have had friends from the USA who thought they were having scrambled eggs. Bammy is a long time favourite. I remembered having to beat the cassava to flour which in turn is made into bammy. This is not complete without delicious fried fish.
Bun is made from flour and spice. Raisins are a must to give it its finest taste. It is mostly consume at Easter and must be served with cheese.
Curried Goat (curried goat meat) is one of Jamaica's favourite dishes. It is served with cooked white rice. It is a must at weddings, parties and any other function where people are gathered. Escovitch Fish is fried fish with lots of pepper, vinegar and other spices. It is mainly served with bammy.  Jerk Chicken, Pork and Fish: This is Jamaicans' favourite dish. Jerk is in the hotels, restaurants, shops, and street side vendors. Jerk is a style of cooking native to Jamaica in which meats are dry-rubbed or marinated with a very hot spice mixture called Jamaican jerk spice. Jerk seasoning is traditionally applied to pork and chicken and fish. Jerk seasoning principally relies upon two items: allspice (called "pimento" in Jamaica) and Scotch bonnet peppers (among the hottest peppers on the Scoville scale). Other ingredients include cloves, cinnamon, scallions, nutmeg, thyme, garlic. Jerk chicken, pork, or fish is said to be at its best when barbecued over aromatic wood charcoal or briquettes. The wood ("pimenta wood"), berries, and leaves of the allspice plant among the coals contribute to jerk's distinctive flavor.  Patty we just cannot exclude. This is a daily lunch for people on the go, especially with school children. This pastry is filled with spicy mince beef, chicken and or vegetable.
