Jamaica

Island Paradise, Culinary Heaven

Jamaicans love a good meal, and good meals are here to be had. Primary ingredients of the island's diet are fish, chicken, vegetables, exotic fruit, and pepper-based spices, either light or flame-throwing. The diet is truly Jamaican these days, with traces of African and post-British colonial influence mixed throughout.
