Hey guys Nericia here with another post under the feature, jamaica is beautiful. In a subsequent feature, we looked at some beaches and rivers that you must visit if you ever get the chance. In this feature, we will be talking about some of the foods that you must try when you go. Now food is a big part of Jamaican culture, we love our pepper and spices, and we definitely can't do without our herbs and seasonings.
Some of our main spices are
Jerk seasonings, Paprika, Garlic Powder, Black pepper, Season to the bone, and pimento just to name a few.
We also love these herbs and seasonings
Eskellion, thyme, tomatoes, Cho Cho, sweet pepper, scotch bonnet peppers...and more
For the flavors that go with different foods, it's all in the seasoning. Most people like to season meats and seafood overnight so that all the seasoning can seep through and make the end result much better.
Jamaicans love curry, we practically curry almost every meat.
You have curried chicken, or beef, fish, saltfish, and lots more. I have even tried curried pork. Yes, pork can be curried as well.
Here are a few pictures of curried meals

We also enjoy fried items, like chicken, fish, and saltfish.
We also enjoy boiled foods like yams, potatoes, cassava, dasheen, cocoa, and green banana.
