Latinos Try Jamaican Food

[@SunnyGhandle]

Love it but a few corrections: Callaloo is not collard greens but similar. The fried dough in the first dish is not dumping, it’s called “Festival” similar to dumpling but with cornmeal and sugar. The “egg” dish is not eggs but our National dish “Ackee and Saltfish” Ackee is a fruit cooked savoury and the sailfish is basically bacalao.

[@sunsetfromvenus]

Also we do have lots of plantains but we call them plantins! Lol

[@Zepkygirl]

also its rice and peas not rice and beans

[@daniellelake7889]

Why didn't anyone tell them ackee is a fruit? Lol it's not egg!

[@greenyoshi48]

as a dominican, jamaicans have the best oxtail hands down.

[@GrAdeAjAmAicAn]

I remember when oxtails were like $5/lbs now I see it for $15/lbs, that's more than the prime cuts for what is considered the offal.

It's literally bacalao. Would have been nice for someone to explain to them what ackee is & that its not egg

[@maeghanwint8564]

Hey actual Jamaican here it is a fruit. Ackee and Saltfish is the national dish in Jamaica. You can have ackee and saltfish with fried or boiled dumpling, yam, boiled green banana. So not an egg.

[@rantsandfaves]

@@maeghanwint8564 Hi, thanks for your comment. I've had ackee & saltfish a lot here in London. I commented so they can add value in their videos for others who might not know!

[@KiarahBrown-r3p]

I love being Afro Latina, and being from Costa Rica. I grew up eating Costa Rican / Jamaican food at home. Every Sunday was cleaning day and my mom would cook rice and peas with oxtail, sometimes just ackee and salt fish with boiled yam, cassava and plantain. During the week we would eat food form my tribe in costa or typical Costa Rican food , which consisted of a lot of rice, beans, picadillo de papa, any protein like bistec encebollado. But im glad I can enjoy both of my cultures. Black ppl from costa rica cook with a lot of seasoning, and coconut milk, others don’t use much spices

[@missmorris6450]

You know about soul food 🥰👏🏾

[@KINGDOMDAUGHTER]

Its ackee, the NATIONAL dish of Jamaica. Made with salt-fish (bacaloa, codfish)

[@MissSunshine_xo]

Usually ackee and saltfish is not served with rice and peas so that was an odd pairing

[@j66933]

Really annoying that no one is explaining what they're eating. Bacalao is salted cod fish which is in the ackee..hence ackee and salt fish which is what Jamaicans just say - salt fish. The yellow stuff is not eggs. The sweet fried things are fried dumplings or festival as Jamaicans refer to them. Seriously if you're going to have people do taste tests have someone explain what it is after they eat each food item.

[@akilmiller3815]

being born in jamaica and raised in the states and being back in Jamaica and having alot of latino friends from back in the states. this puts a ridiculously big smile on my face.

We have in puerto rico a similar dish to jerk chicken but it's not pinchos it's called Pollo al carbon chicken rosted above wood charcoal taste similar to jerk chicken it's sad that many puerto Ricans don't know much of its food or culture!!!!

[@tishainnis]

We also eat codfish, and banana fritters just like you all as well. A lot of similarities because of African roots and also Jamaica as was a colony of Spain for 166 years.

[@GrAdeAjAmAicAn]

Bacalao = salted fish/codfish Ackee = fruit (not eggs) Festival ≠ Fried dumplings Callaloo(and salted fish) >≠ Collard greens Rice and peas ≠ Rice and beans Plantain is very common throughout the Caribbean but I think DR/PR like green plantain more than ripened like we do.

It is not eggs it is called Ackee. It came from Ghana.🇬🇭🇯🇲

They gave them festival and said fried dumplin

[@tishainnis]

Jamaican chiming in here! 🙋🏽‍♀️😂 Callaloo is different from collard greens and taste different as well. They’re not salty either. The saltiness that he’s probably tasting is from salt fish aka bacalao because we usually pair callaloo with Saltfish and eat it for breakfast. My Dominican sister is so right that we’re cousins!! Lol So many of our mannerisms match, one cousin speaks English creole and the other Spanish creole (don’t come for me)! 🤣🤣😂

[@spyrit35]

Not eggs, Ackee, it's a fruit. You also should have tried several other dishes. Oxtail and butter beans, Curry Goat, Jamaican Christmas (black) fruit cake, Corned pork and whatever, Kidney and green banana and boiled dumplings etc.

[@lemoncholyme]

1:50 She said "Johnny Cake" pronouncing the "J" as a "Y".

[@godcreator7372]

If a Jamaican person didn't cook it it's not Jamaican if they lived abroad for more than half their life it's not Jamaican eggs in salt fish 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@lisalewis2650]

Callaloo!!!

[@sciencetingss]

If it's sweet, it's festival. Dumplin', boiled or fried, doesn't have sugar. Callaloo belongs to the same family as pigweed. Saltfish is just preserved (salted) codfish

[@Dublr81]

A Puerto Rican never having Jamaican food is kinda wild to me. At least a beef patty?!..surprised they didnt have patties on episode either, they def need a beef patty w coco bread and cheese.

[@Nathanael_Grant]

Awww they think it's eggs 😂 the first time I remember that i saw ackee and saltfish as a 3-4 year old i said, "yaaay egg" and my family laughed😂

[@shaynatheecreator]

Someone should've been telling them what each thing was

[@quelleym4265]

Lol this gave me the ick not gonna lie. I cringed every time I heard collard greens. Considering ackee and salt fish is the national dish I felt like it should’ve been explained what it is. Lol it may look like eggs but when you eat it it’s obvious it’s not. Also honestly never heard any Caribbean person pronounce plantain like that lol that also made me cringe 🤔 glad they enjoyed tho. Bout to go boil some banana and do some saltfish rn ✌🏽

[@RayKem9]

It's the fact that they think the ackee is egg 😂😂😂😂

[@erinspearheart]

I'm shocked that every plate was served with Rice and Pease because we generally do not eat like that. Ackee and Saltfish is usually eaten with white rice, fry dumplings or yam, banana and boiled dumplings. Callaloo is also eaten similarly. The jerk chicken plate was spot on except we do not have festival (small dumplings) as a side on everything. It's often eaten with bread or just the festivals.

[@sssssssss111]

Either Taino or Arawak is what 15th century explorers speculated. And it's moreso the cooking technique they are speculating about (underground cooking as to not give away their location to the Brits). However, the jerk you see today/the jerk pork they ate in the 1700's is the creation of black Jamaican maroons ... the spice blend couldn't exist without their arrival to the island.

[@Kingstonian1G]

@@felixolmo8179 The Taino mixed with the Black Maroon warriors. They cooked together and learned from each other. We never denied that we learned the process of Jerk from the Taino. A lot of the spices we brought to Jamaica from the spice trade in Africa, that’s why Puerto Ricans (Taino) Pollo Asado and Lechon does not have the same taste as Jamaican Jerk.
