Table of Contents
1. A general feature of Jamaican cuisine
Today's Jamaican cuisine is the result of a mixture of Spanish, British, African, Indian, and Chinese influences. When Christopher Columbus arrived on the island in the 15th century, Jamaica did not abound in edible plants. Among its fruits were pineapples, sugar apples, guava, and caimito. In the 16th century Jamaica became a Spanish colony, and a hundred years later it passed into the hands of the British. For hundreds of years, Jamaica was a thriving sugarcane plantation. A decade later, most of the banana plants grown in Jamaica were also added to the flavor of the coconut crops grown in other countries.2. Ackee and saltfish
Although the ackee is native to West Africa, the only place where it is widely consumed today is in Jamaica. The botanical name of this plant is common bligia. Ackee is a large pear-shaped fruit, initially green, and when ripe, it turns orange-red. A great deal of attention is paid to the ripeness of the fruit. At the present time, it indicates its cracking and the unfolding of three large, black peas. It is extremely important because the flavor of the acquies is strong enough to make the fruit taste a little over ten centimeters thick.3. Salted with cabbage
