Jamaican Food

Any fans?

It’s my most fave type of food in the world, but i can’t seem to cook it to save my life :frowning:

There’s this old jamaican lady that always used to bring me food in at my old job and as part of my leaving present she gave me a few of her recipes. Have tried making home made chicken patties, ackee and salttfish, prawn curry and saltfish fritters, yet none of these have turned out right :frowning:

Why is Jamaican food so impossible to cook? :frowning: I think I’m going to give up :frowning:

thing is - i don't make 'em myself. usually the desi stores/halal shops carry them. should be in the freezer aisle.

Re: Jamaican Food

Anyone have a recipe for Palori? or the fish balls? I had em at a party and they were so good with mango chutney. I never got to get recipe? I love how guyanese people make lo mein

Re: Jamaican Food

nope, never tried breadfruit. i'm guessing it's something like fruitcake?

but i think the only jamican food i've tried is the patties.
