Jamaica Traditional Recipes
Jamaican traditional recipes are often prepared for special occasions or specific days of the week. For instance, Sunday morning breakfasts commonly feature fry dumplings, roasted breadfruit, or ackee and saltfish. Sunday dinners typically include rice and peas. Fruitcake, also known as rum cake or Christmas cake, is baked for Christmas and weddings.
Mannish water and curry goat are traditional dishes usually prepared for weddings and funerals. Mannish water, a festive, vegetable-laden soup, is often boiled to perfection in a favorite zinc pan, though a large pot works just as well. This rich soup, made with freshly cut goat's head, tripe, and feet, is also the soup of choice for ninth night ceremonies, a traditional ceremonial burial practice.
