I'm surprised the Ackee and Saltfish was so well received, because ackee has a very distinctive taste and texture that isn't for everyone. And, yes, our sorrel is definitely stronger!

I'm not sure it's complaining but more so describing, probably as they were asked to do for the video. I think they have a good tolerance for the spiciness.

[@Princeofgryphondell]

My one criticism of this channel when trying another country’s food is learning how to eat them properly to respect that culture and get the best experience of that dish. I just see foods eaten the wrong way too often. Love you Mamah! Channel but you got to research that part. The salt fish and ackee was eaten wrong. They are meant to be eaten with plantains and other stuff. A similar thing was done as well when y’all tried Filipino food. You’re supposed to eat those dishes with white rice. It’ll be like eating a taco without onions, sauces, and other fixings that make tacos amazing.

Good point. Serving Ackee and Saltfish in isolation is like serving a hamburger with no french fries.

I am Puerto Rican, but my husband is Jamaican and my mother in law makes ALLL of the food in this video (give or take a few different varieties...I dont think she puts dumpling with curry goat or makes her festival look like a garlic knot...but maybe that's just her). Jamaican food has easily become one my favorites with all of the flavors and spices that they use. My mother in laws black cake is soooo delicious and now that the holidays are approaching I'm excited because I know she will make some for me. The only thing I still don't like....Sorrel.

[@user-dv3kq3rm4h]

Don't worry, none of us make curry goat with dumplings- it's always white rice or rice and peas. And the festival doesn't have to look like a knot, though that's cute. Often people make them long. Do you find any similarities between Jamaican and Puerto Rican food? For example rice and peas/frijoles con arroz?
