  1. The Pork Pit If you are in the market for some authentic Jamaican jerk Pork, then you couldn’t do much better than making your way to the Pork Pit in Montego Bay. This is alfresco dining cafeteria style, you order your food at the counter, pick up your rum punch (or non alcoholic versions), and collect your pork from the barbecues outside.If you’re brave enough, you can pick the pork that you want, otherwise the chef will choose, chop and serve you the most succulent jerk pork or chicken you have ever tasted.It’s simple and easy no fuss, no problem.You can order a range of side dishes as well as soft or alcoholic drinks. The ambience is relaxed and it’s a cool place to just chill and enjoy the sunset over the water close by.

  2. Facts: • Montego Bay was a sugar and banana town but the sugar factories have closed down and bananas are now shipped out from Kingston and Port Antonio so the picturesque sight of women carrying bananas on their heads and singing the TallyMan song while carrying out their back-breaking work, is a thing of the past. • A favorite go to for lunch is the Jamaican meat patty. The most popular is the spicy beef meat patty but there are many different kinds. • The Jamaican cuisine is appreciated for being a healthy one, due to the reduced usage of red meat and furthermore, for using fish, vegetables and beans in most recipes. Spices are common to the Jamaican dishes, and the most frequently used are: allspice, ginger, garlic and hot peppers. • The first people to develop the Jamaican cuisine were the Arawak Indians. Next, the Tainos, which are among the oldest inhabitants of this country, have increased the number of cooking techniques and have enhanced the recipes. Tainos had a special way to conserve the meat, by adding peppers, allspice andsea salt to it. This mix was named Jamaican jerk spice.

  4. The rum is a traditional drink that knows many variations in each part of Jamaica. This beverage has a very long history, which began in 1630. It is made from sugarcaneor molasses and the name comes from rumbullion - a British word used in the 17th century to describe tumult. Another beverage that is typical for Jamaica is coffee. In time, however, the number of the plantations decreased, and so did the quality.

  5. Ocho Rios is one of the Jamaican cities that features one of the most important food festivals in the country. The name of this event is Ocho Rios and the goal is to promote dishes such as jerk, bussu, janga and blue drawers. Besides exposing the traditional dishes, Jamaicans also organize competitions during the festivals.

  6. SnacksThe need for some foods that could be served between the main meals determined the development of the snack recipes. As most of the other dishes, the snacks are based on vegetables and fruits. The fruits themselves are sometimes consumed as snacks. In this category are: mangoes, berries, papayas, oranges and many others. The artificial snacks are made from sugar and flour. Jamaicans also combine the artificial snacks with the fruits and the results are dishes such as: Coconut Drops, cornmeal pudding, grapefruit and milk. Many types of breads that also contain fruits are prepared in Jamaica. The beef patties represent one of the Jamaican snacks that became popular all over the world. These are usually consumed between the lunch and the dinner. Each baker seems to have a specific style of preparing these snacks. The quantities of spices differ very much.
