Jamaicans know how to eat. During my stay in Montego Bay , or Mo' Bay as the locals call it, our cook (yes, we had one that came with our villa) dazzled us with elaborate spreads that included plenty of local fare. For breakfast we had ackee and saltfish (LOVE), breadfruit , Johnny cakes, (fried sweet dumplings), boiled green bananas , bammy (bread made with cassava flour) and much more accompanied by bottomless cups of excellent Blue Mountain coffee . For lunch there was plenty of rice and peas , jerk chicken and pork , callaloo and escovitch fish . Dinner was a more formal affair which I’ll write about in the days to come. Simply put: Jamaican food is awesome. Plus any country that serves fish for breakfast is right up my alley.
