Rice and pea, and, Ackee and Salt fish.

[Elysium]

Yea so a girl at work cooked this for everyone the other day, never had Ackee before, or salt fish for that matter. The rice was cooked in coconut milk which is also new to me. Her BF is Jamacian so. I quite liked it actually!

Anyone else had this?

[*Narkissos*]

[*Narkissos*]

Yea... (not ackee tho..that being a jamaican monopoly)

Saltfish is used in a lot of Barbados' indigenous dishes (coconut milk too)

was it good for you bro?

[Elysium]

Oh be quiet, im new to this stuff

[Juggernaut]

For 19 months......not to bad. Apperantly you've not had a boiled bananna either? The rice and peas cooked with coconut milk I like a lot. There's a pretty good Jamician shop downtown that I stop in every week or so to grab a bite. Ever had Jerk?

Loved it mate, ive never had that type of food before. The ackee was "ok" didnt really taste it as it is so soft. The salt fish was nice, she cooked it with pepprs and tons of other stuff, it was nice, the rice n pea was well nice too

When I was living in the Turks & Caicos, a Jamacian friend cooked ackee and salt-fish for me................................I fukking hated it.

Nope no Jerk? No boiled Bananna

[Juggernaut]

They cooked this fish where they placed a Scotch Bonnet Pepper slice on top and some type of red sauce.....man that stuff was great....and that pepper slice was hot as ****!

[BajanBastard]

Good jerk pork is soooooooooooooo good.

[Juggernaut]

Nope no Jerk? No boiled Bananna

Forget the bananna..I didn't like it....but if you run across some Jerk Chicken, eat it.....that stuff is great as well.

I think the Pamento wood plays a leading roll in the outcome of that dish. I've tried cooking it over oak and it's not quit the same.

[Elysium]

apparently ive been missing then huh?

[*Narkissos*]

Yea...jerked stuff is hott.

Boiled banana...man you make that sound so foreign
Loads of other stuff Messy... you should travel and try some out..that's what i wanna do later in life..travel and try new foods

[jugganaut]

saltfish is used throughout the caribbean, except for cuba, puerto rico, dominican rep, and a few other caribbean island. ackee is jamaican (its an acquired taste) where Im from saltfish is a mainly eaten on sundays for breakfast. S*** im hungry now

[Elysium]

Probably hard to find in the UK I'll ask the girl at work to make me some more food. Anyone got any recommendations? (spelling?)

[Elysium]

Good to see all my brothers have come to talk with me about our food

[Juggernaut]

Then might I suggest the crickets in africa as well as the grub worms....sugar ants aren't bad but it's a little grity. Goat skin soup anyone?

[*Narkissos*]

There's both a Juggernaut and jugganaut veiwing this thread..Juggy you've got an admirer

Boiled banana isn't bad..depends on a variety of things...if you have certain dishes in the parent country it usually tastes different tho IMO

Just mention to her that you'd like to try some Jerk and if she doesn't make you some I'll bet she'll know where to send you. I don't think your allowed to live on the island if you can't cook good Jerk.

Yeah! We know!

[Red Ketchup]

Well, when you're used to bangers, mash and mushy peas I guess anything will make ya feel cultured!

He he he! Just joking bro...

But seriously, I'm not quite sure why the UK gets such a bad rap around the world when it comes to food... some of the best meals I've ever had were in London. Granted they were all "foreign", but still... wow. Good stuff.

Your right though mate, in the UK we eat all types of food, there isnt really "British" food per say. I had Thai food at a top notch restaurant the other day, was gorgeous.

[Wrath]

Get some escoveithed fish...real tangy. Or some stewed chicken(my aunt makes it like no other!!), oxtails with some good ripe plantain...throw in some coco bread and you set man


Ackee has a weird texture that I don't really like

Never had "escoveithed fish", I heard of it though. When you said coco bread did you meant coconut bread or just coacoa?

[IntensityX]

What is this Emril live lol

Hmmmm gotta try some of that jamacian food

[Wrath]

With the quotation marks, I assume you are mocking my spelling perhaps of escoveitch??? Try some...its good...When I visited family there, they made it for breakfast which was weird...


I meant cocoa...its gotta be warm though!!

[BajanBastard]

Nope i was not mocking ya bro.
